Manners and Fascinators

We decided it was time to have a mother / daughter activity and of course we decided a Tea Party, but since we don't drink tea, we had a Lemonade (not a tea) Party.  We thought it would be the perfect activity to have to also teach the girls about manners.

Here is the invitation we gave to all the girls and their mothers to let them know about our special activity.  

I was in charge of the decorations.  I decided we should make it vintage, dainty and fancy, so I used a lot of doilies, pink, tissue, and flowers.  

Here are the centerpieces for the tables.  Mason jars filled with lemon slices, flower and wrapped in doilies.  

I gave each place setting a favor that was filled with "lemon and raspberry slices" and a tag that says "manner make you sweet like lemonade".

The food was out of this world.  My co-leaders did the food and she outdid herself.  It added so much to the activity.

As the activity, we had each girl and mom make a "fascinator".  Fancy little hats that ladies used to wear in the 30's.  We thought it would be such a fun craft and something for the girls to wear during their "lemonade" party.  Something fancy!

Here are some of the items we had for them to make their Fascinators. And if you need a good tutorial, this is the one I used.  

And then some cute pictures of some of the girls all pretty and fancy.

And then the entire group - girls and their moms in their fascinators.
