{Featured Party} Sweets Indeed: Avalon's Princess Party

It's hump day and I'm here some nice sweets to share.  I found Sweets Indeed a couple of months ago, I'm not quite sure how I got to her page but when I got there, I fell in love!  Her attention to detail is just perfect!  Why can't I be that perfect?  Recently, she just gave her daughter Avalon a Princess Party and here are just a few photos from the dessert table. 

How perfect is this table!

Adorable Cookies!

Cute cotton candy!

Please go on over to Sweets Indeed for all of the lovely details of this party! That's one lucky birthday girl!

{Real Party} It's Finally Here......Alice in Wonderland Birthday Party!!!

Happy Monday!!!

After months and months and months of planning this past weekend we hosted my daughter's very own "Alice in Wonderland" party!  It was super fabulous!  My daughter's exact words, "Mommy this is the BEST birthday party EVER!"  That from a 4 year old makes everything worth it.  Just melts my heart! I can't believe I almost abandoned this idea in a moment of weakness!  So glad I stayed true to myself and my ideas.  

So without further adieu here are the photos taken by me.

Once Upon a Time
there was a little girl named Sadaia....

Welcome to Wonderland Heart Court Widget!

Our first attempt at a balloon arch! I think it can out great!

The Madhatter was running around taking pictures! 

My mom decorated the entry to the house!  Look at how pretty! 

Tulle Wreath!

Tulle Pom Pom

The magician and the Madhatter! 

With so many kids (22) at my house I had to think of an activity to keep them all occupied.  So I hired a magician to do a magic show! 

The birthday girl!  This picture truly captures her personality. She can be very outgoing at times but very bashful in a group setting!  Happy Birthday my sweet angel!

Dessert Table~
Featured a strawberry cake with an image layout that I designed and sent to the baker, cupcakes, Oreo Pops, Chocolate Hearts, and fabulous cookies from Girly Gatherings.

Fabulous cookies by Girly Gatherings!

Characters from the movie!  See the peat moss runner! 

Party Favors...Found these paint cans at Michael's for $1.19 each!

My Marleycakes...  

I had a "photo booth" for the kids!  They loved it!

Alice and the Madhatter!  

The Madhatter lost his hat! 

I have to say that this was by far the most excited I have ever seen my daughter.  Of course there are things that I wish I could have done better but overall, this was the party that I had in my head for a very long time!

I'd like to list and thank all of the vendors and people that inspired this party.

Party Inspiration:
Leesa from Send in the Clowns - Her Alice in Wonderland party was amazing!
Party Wishes - Sold me the instructions for the widgets!
Kate Landers Events, LLC.  - Where I got the idea for the peat moss runner and wood serving trays from her Fairy Woodland Party

Cookies:  Girly Gatherings

My mommy for decorating the front stoop, making the tulle pom poms, and tulle wreath!
GREAT news, she'll be opening her own ETSY shop soon! Stay tuned!

My daddy and brothers for drawing and cutting the wooden widgets!

To my family and friends for all their help. My sister and brother in law for dressing in costume (even though you scared the kids).
To my husband....  THANK you for not looking at the bank account and dressing like a crazy madman for your girl's party.

{Real Wedding} Punta Cana, Dominican Republic Wedding Sneak Peaks.....

Just in case you missed our post over the weekend, I'm excited to share these sneak peaks from my sister's destination wedding in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.  I'm still composing my lessons learned from my 1st (of many I hope) destination weddings but here are the sneak peaks from the bride's "Trash the Dress" session on the beach.  Yes, this is her REAL wedding dress!  I can't wait to see the rest.  These come from photographer Nicole Koester!

Yes, he is flying through the air. I was there to witness this shot!  This belongs in a magazine! 

Simply breathtaking! 

I can't wait for the rest of the photos from this fabulous wedding!

{Real Invitations} Palm Tree Wedding Boarding Pass Invitations!

Happy Monday! 

I'm back from a fabulous vacation and wedding in the Dominican Republic last week.  I must say that I'm not a happy as I usually am on a Monday morning because I'd rather be laying on the beach in DR.  Time to start planning next years vacation!  

I'm excited to share some beautiful wedding Boarding Pass Invitations for a destination wedding in Jamaica.  These passes are printed on pearlescent shimmer paper attached via a chocolate eyelet.   The RSVP card is perforated with a return address printed on the back so guest can just tear and place in the mail!  How convenient! 

This suite comes with three passes: Invitation, Destination & Accommodations, and RSVP card.
