So, Reese's birthday celebration has stretched for a few weeks! How fun to be 6! Long story short...back in January Reese said she did not want a birthday party...just a celebration with family! Wow...but I should have known better. During our travels back from Disney, she voiced her desire to celebrate her birthday with her friends! I could have said "no", but I just decided what the heck...we can do this! This, as in plan a party in less than a week, spend a very small amount of $, fit it into an already busy weekend...and Viola...a Tea Party!
Tea Party table ready for 10 6 year old guests! Place cards were very exciting for Reese to have on the table!
A tea pot and tea cup decorating station. We printed out tea pot templates on card stock, then cut out the "pot" circle in scrapbook paper designs and let the girls pick and glue. We decorated plastic tea cups with stick on jewels!
Tea Pots everywhere...we pulled out all of our tea pots, this was a tea pot that was my sister's and mine when we were little!
This little gem came right on time...Aunt Joyce sent Reese a Belle doll and tea set...little did she know that it would fit perfectly into our party Theme. We read the Belle tea party book during the party, and many hands loved to play with this mini stet.

Ta-da....the edible tea cups...fun and Yummy! A scalloped wafer cookie, dab of icing, large marshmallow, spread more icing, add pearl sprinkles on top, cut a life saver in half...dab icing and put on the side for a handle! The ate them up...and loved making them...favorite part putting the large pearl sprinkles on top!
The Little Tea party...Hadley, Brynlee and our friend Jayde Kirkland were here. The Kirkland's came for a quick weekend visit...our girls loved having friends in the house!
No tea party is complete without a little makeup. We did eyes, blush and lips...and then a little later...I painted nails! I hope the moms were ok with Neon pink and purple nails!
The Dress up station...we had a few things out for the girls to put on...most came in their own...but some had fun dressing up and down...and up and down...and up and down...good thing I am used to that!
Maybe a little more stress added to my weekend...but watching the girls have fun was worth every bit!
CHEERS!
