Princess Party!

I think I'll start with my daughter's birthday party from earlier this year. She wanted a princess party w/ Rapunzel being the main princess. We had it at our local children's museum. This was the first party we had not hosted at our house, so I was a little nervous about it. In the end, it turned out to be a perfect place for a party! The kids had a great time!

I'll start with the food table. The sign was the one I made for her Pinkalicious 3rd birthday party. I was glad I was able to recycle it. I bought princess fabric from Hobby Lobby and sewed ribbon on the edge for a table runner. 

I recently learned how to make cookies. I was excited to be able to make Wand cookies for her party! I found the cute buckets in the Easter section at Hobby Lobby. I put a piece of floral foam in there so it would hold the cookies in place. I used a variety of pink things to make a "princess snack mix". They loved it!

My little princess had very specific instructions for her cake! We looked at pictures online and told the bakery what we wanted. It was perfect!! She LOVED it!

More cookies, fruit, and chicken nuggets for the food!

 This was my first time using/designing water bottle labels. I found a cute image on google and just adjusted the size to make it work for the labels. I had them printed at Office Max on their cardstock and cut to size with my paper cutter. I used my Cricut to add Happy Birthday and the crown to the bucket of drinks for the kids.

Favors for the girls! I don't know what came over me, but for some reason I thought it was a good idea to make all the girls these purses! I made 20 total! The girls LOVED them so it was totally worth all the hours of sewing! I made the stands for the bags out of dowel rods and other wood pieces from Hobby Lobby. My husband had to help a little with these. Then I just spray painted them white.

For the boys I made satchel bags (too look similar to the one Flynn Rider in Rapunzel carries). I found the swords at the Dollar Tree for each bag. The boys seemed excited about these too. 

Gift/Favor table! I always frame the invitation and put it out somewhere. I also designed a little picture collage of my daughter in some of her princess costumes.

For the tables, I made more runners out of a purple princess fabric. I added a little ruffle trim to make it a little more sassy! Each seat got a pink charger plate (again from the Pinkalicious party). I told them they were at a Royal dinner!

I made these centerpieces by finding images again on Google. I believe all the princesses were represented. I got the vases at the Dollar Tree and filled them with shredded paper. On the outside I used my glue gun to attach tulle. I tried to make it look like a tutu. Then added princess ribbon around the top. I love how these turned out!

Another view of the party room!

My little princess waiting to blow out her candles! All of her friends wore their princess dresses (the boys were superheros). She wanted to be the Rapunzel bride. 

From now on, I'll know to do a better job taking pictures of things as I'm making them!
