Fairy Party

This party was so much fun to plan and Emma kept thanking me for her party. There are many words, but I'm going to let the pictures speak for themselves (and there are a lot of pictures).

Enjoy!

Designed the invitations myself, but purchased the Petal Fold from Cards & Pockets.

Delicous food, complete with mini cupcakes, fruit salad, veggie tray, cucumber and tomato salad (with basil from my garden), rock candy, prestzels dipped in white chocolate, butterfly snacks, baked beans, chips and bbq chicken sliders. 

The green napkins I bought from IKEA and I tied them around the plasticware. Other plates and cups were bought at Big Lots. And my mom had a ton of garland and fake flowers from years ago that we scattered all over the tables.

Girls got wands and wings as favors. Purchased from Halo Heaven for only a $1 each.

Pirate hats were also from Halo Heaven, and the swords were from Big Lots.

Made poms from tissue paper to decorate outside and inside.

Decal from the Dollar Tree added just a little something. 

Pettiskirt from Dream Spun. Great quality! So full and fluffy. It's a good thing I also got this for her four year old photoshoot, otherwise I wouldn't have got my money's worth. Ha ha. With us having the pool last minute she wore this outfit all of 20 minutes before it was swimsuit time.

We completely lucked out with the bouncy house. My mom works with someone that owned one and let us rent it from her for an amazing bargain! It was a hit. And keeps the kids busy.

Houses bought from Michael's for $1 each, and the stickers, markers and glitter were from the Dollar Tree. 

Made the cake. Emma picked out the flavor. Strawberry with cream cheese frosting. Instead of buying the expensive Tinkerbell cake toppers I just bought a Tink doll, and now Emma can play with it after the party.

Learning to ride on her new bike.

Let me say one thing...I had visions of the kids frolicking in their fairy wings and pirate hats, and painted faces. But the weather was too hot. We borrowed a bouncy house from my mom's friend which ended up having a pool section. So we texted everyone a few hours before hand and said bring the swim suites. It was a hit! I had to remind myself that it wasn't my birthday and all that mattered was that they had fun! 

In the end, it was a success and my favorite birthday party.
