Wonderland Photo Booth

At Hannah's birthday party I had a make-shift photo booth. Let's just say I could have done a better job, but the pictures are fun nevertheless. Here are some fun photos of the party guests.

Alice in Wonderland Party

It has been awhile, but i finally have photos of my daughter's 7th birthday party. It was a Wonderland party and boy, oh boy was it fun to prepare for. So many ideas out there in the blog world, that i had to finally put a stop to the planning and executing. I could have gone on forever.

Here are all the details of her big day!

One of the activities was decorating Mad Hatter hats. The girls got to use everything from gems and feathers to stickers and pom-poms.


For the favors, I got notebooks at Target in the $1 section (that was all I found that day that had to do with Alice, it must have been fate). Then I made floral pens (with eyes), included capri suns and a cookie and taffy.

I put out all our Alice in Wonderland books and I framed different quotes from the movie and had them displayed throughout.

For the decorations, I made paper chains from an Alice in Wonderland book and sowed crepe paper together and then made the circular hanging pendants. And lots and lots of satin ribbon! I really love how all of it worked out.

Another activity we had was painting tea cups and saucers. The girls got to paint their own set and then I will go and get them fired and return them to the girls as their thank yous.



This was the sign that welcomed the guest when they walked through the door.

We had a photo booth like set up. Here were the props the I made and purchased for their photo shoots. More pictures of that to follow.



In case you didn't see my earlier post, here are the invitations i sent out.


Here are all the yummy treats we served in Wonderland. I got the cute idea of using Cheshire Cat smiles on cupcakes from this blog. I made lollipop rice krispy treats dipped in chocolate with sprinkles. We served ham and cheese sandwiches with "eat me" tags, I used playing cards and "drink me" tags for the drinks in mason jars. Made napkin pockets for the utensils and eclairs and cookies dipped in chocolate and sprinkles. The girls asked if they could "eat" everything and when I said "yes" you should have seen their eyes... they were so excited.
