All the Little Party Details

The party that inspired Evie's party! Actually for Evie, the inspiration is more from the Tea Cup ride in Disney World - one of her favorites!The table, all ready for guests!
Paper Lanterns: From my dollar store. I spruced them up with some ribbon of course! Tea Pot: On sale at Target after Christmas, I just added ribbon (pink and green!) and a "Drink Me" tag - so appropriate! Invitations: From Hobby Lobby and designed by Anna Griffin (my fave!). I printed them myself and added the "4" to the top using my printer, some scrapbook paper, and my Martha Stewart scalloped circle punch from Michael's.
Cupcakes: From my local Super Target bakery.Favors: Marshmallow lollies from the Valentines section at Walmart (so cute - NOT so tasty!) but they were only a dollar! This was a great time of year to have an Alice in Wonderland party because all of the Valentines stuff is out, and fits in well with "The Queen of Hearts" character from the story. I decorated each lolly with ribbon and a mini playing card (I bought a set from "The One Spot" at Target) and used some Martha Stewart glitter to bling them up a bit. I punched a hole in 2 corners of the mini cards and slid them onto the lolly stick - cute! Treats: I filled cupcake wrappers with Wonderland inspired treats and placed one at each little girl's place. Treats include: Gummy Raspberries and "Choccorooms" from World Market, and mini white Marshmallows. I made the "Eat Me" tags using my scallop punch again and some alphabet stamps.Tea Cups: Lovingly collected from garage sales by none other than Nina.

I put SOOOOO much into this party, but I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I'm going to share pics from the actual party (like of kids and such) in a few days, and probably the menu as well!
