An Oooh La La Soiree...

In keeping with my "better late than never" theme, here's a peek at Mia's "4 & Fancy" Dress-Up Birthday...

As guests arrived, they were sent to the "Wardrobe Area" (that's fancy for closet) where they could pick out their favorite princess dress (and add necessary accessories like hats, scarves, jewelry and, of course, shoes) and then got to work decorating tiaras with princess stickers and jewels. The girls left with some swag (that's fancy for party favors) including a Fancy Nancy book, a yummy tiara cookie, a sassy glittered headband, and a hot pink frame to hold the fancy picture of them taken during the party. Ooh La La!

It's All About The Swag...

Party favors, treat bags, swag...You'd be hard pressed to go to a birthday party and not have your child come home with one. But it's the contents that count. Avoid going crazy at the dollar store for a WHOLE BUNCH OF TOYS that are most likely going to break during the car ride home, or worse yet, just end up in the junk drawer. I lean towards the "less is more" option with a couple of cool, out of the box items that relate back to the theme of the party.

You've already seen the butterfly barrette inside the bag for Miss Ellie from an earlier post, and so now here's the coordinating butterfly wand. A girl is never too young to start working on her magical powers!

Everything's All A Flutter!

I am so excited to get to work on my next party...Ellie is turning 5 on Wednesday and I am doing a Butterfly Party for her and her friends! Here is a sneak peak at one of the activities we will be doing (decorating personalized butterfly tiaras) and one of the favors Ellie and her friends will find in their party favor bags (butterfly barrettes). Much, much more to come soon!
