Avery's 4th Birthday Princess Party

Here are just a few of the pictures that we have...each picture demonstrating a different aspect of the party.
a. Party table is set in the dining room. You may notice the tiaras and supplies set up for the 'princesses' to decorate their tiaras.
b.Dance Party - Some of the party goers dancin' on the dance mat.
c.Avery blowing out her candles on her Little Mermaid 'tear-apart cupcake cake'.
d. Party go-ers playing the Prince Charming's Kiss game...one princess is blindfolded while another princess places a Hershey's Kiss in the hand. The blindfolded princess than guesses who placed the kiss in her hand.
e. The Little Mermaid 'Tear-apart Cupcake Cake"
f.Pin the Crown on the Princess Game - Pretty self-explanatory. Yes, that is my artwork using Avery as the inspiration for the 'princess'. Not going to be confused with Picasso anytime soon.
g. The Princess Party consisted of the girls decorating their own tiaras and creating their own necklaces to go with their 'princess' costumes or dresses that some asked to wear to the party...others were able to dress up with material at our house. We intended to have the girls decorate their own frames, take a picture of their creations and wardrobe, and include those with the Thank You notes. (We didn't get to the frames, but Jill, Andrew, and Avery decorated some frames and Jill sent them home to the attendees.
h.Jill played the part sporting her Prom Dress from the 1992 Schaller-Crestland High School Prom. Impressive!
i. All of the Princess attendees (& Andrew) behind the snack/cake table.
j. NOT SHOWN: One other game that was played was "Find Cinderella's Lost Shoe". Jill used one of her wedding shoes and one of the girls would hide the shoe in the family room or living room and the other girls would go look for it. Very entertaining to watch!
k. Jill did a great job putting on a great party...but it should be noted that I contributed much more than I thought possible...thanks Kristen and Karlynn, I think : )

Oh my goodness...it is a good thing I didn't have a girl because I am sooooo not that creative! Holy smokes, what a party. I am very impressed with the princess games, crafts, etc. So cool!!!! I am sure Avery had the best time. Can't wait to hear all about it.

I think that cake is a fantastic idea. I forwarded the picture onto my brother, who has two daughters...
