Hello everyone, hope everyone has had a fantastic day so far. Two weeks ago Serenity turned 5 on the eighth of January. Today I'm so excited to share some of the images from her Frozen Birthday Tea Party with you!
We had so much fun throwing Serenitys Frozen Tea Party. Staring with the decorating, which was one of my personal favorites. Since we had already thrown her a birthday party back in Dallas I had a few Frozen themed decorations left over like the birthday banner and some decorative pieces I created. This party was put together very last minute so about everything that you see in the pictures were things I already had laying around. Nothing was bought specifically for the party (besides food) haha. I kinda worked with what we had and I must say everything came out perfect!!
For the table cloth I used a large piece of sparkly silver fabric that coincidentally was a perfect fit for the table. The fancy white chair covers were given to us and were recycled items from our good friends Carlos & Simone's wedding. I used light blue curling ribbon to accent and tie the chair covers and table legs. If you ask me you can never go wrong with curling ribbon!!
One of my favorite decorative touches were the hanging snowflakes, which are kinda hard to tell in the picture above. My husband and I strung fishing line across the room and hung glittery snowflakes and icicles that by the way were bought on clearance for 75% off the original price!
The centerpiece on the table was a blue decanter bottle dressed up with three silver branch like Christmas ornaments, that were also bought on sale. Laying under the centerpiece were lots of piled up white paper heart doilies from the Dollar tree that were left over from last years Valentines. The name cards were very simply made from white card stock cut with Paper Edgers by Fiskars.
For the table placemats I used Frozen coloring pages for each spot. And since we had something to color I recycled two small spice jars and used them as crayon holders, adding a cute Frozen touch with stickers. As an embellishment I sprinkled colorful round confetti on the table, something in my heart says you don't have a party if you don't have confetti!!
The decorations in this cabinet usually get changed out every season. So Frozen decor was a must for the occasion! Everything you see above & below are items we had laying around.
Serenity loved how I used her toys as decorations!! Also can you see that I used Christmas ornaments left and right!?! Seriously you guys, REUSE, REUSE,REUSE. I love it. And those super cute big white snowflakes are candleholders turned bottom side up!
From this angle you can get a better look at the glass vase holding the snowflake coffee stirrers AKA princess wands! Clever, huh?!
Above is about the only picture I have from the breakfast bar, honestly not a big fan but oh well! I promise you this area looked a lot prettier in person. On here you can see the DIY falling snow made with fishing line and cotton balls. Which by the way had been up since way before Christmas.
How cute are these decorations I created using Frozen party favor cups and Christmas ornaments!
Silver jeweled blue velvet cupcakes. Yess I know not so cute. But Hey, they were literally baked and iced one hour before the party! Baker of the year award goes to I, haha.
There go some of those paper heart doilies from The Dollar Tree again.
Above is a close up of little Renitys spot.
When the girls arrived we greeted them individually and guided them to their place on the table. They were so excited to see their names and their very own space, I think it really made them feel special. The first thing they did was color their placemat.
Look at her smile, and those faces! PRICELESS.
Pizza and coloring go hand in hand you know...
After pizza and coloring the girls all stormed out and turned Serenity's room upside down, meanwhile I set the table for the very awaited tea time!
Instead of tea I served hot chocolate and Oreo cookies. For the record this is one of my most favorite pictures ever!! Princesses couldn't possibly get any cuter than this.
Here they go doing what every doll does at a tea party. Little girl conversations are the best.
Coffee stirrer princess wand!!
After tea time and a few games Princess Serenity was ready to blow out her birthday candles.
Once they sang Happy Birthday and The Birthday Princess blew her candles, everyone had a serving of cupcakes and ice cream. Following all the yummy sweetness we ended the party with Serenity opening her gifts. Soon after that, the girls left one by one with a candy bag and a big smile on their faces!
I must say that planning all of this two days before the party date was very stressful and exhausting. I'll tell you what? I wouldn't trade this experience for the world! Just going through all these photos makes me extremely happy, the look on her face is just priceless. This party was something she came up with on her own and we made it happen. I guess in the end it was something more than just a party. It turned out to be a great childhood memory that she will cherish and look back on years to come.
Thank you guys for stopping by!
