Lena's 4th Birthday Party

For Lena's "four" birthday we decided to have an intimate princess birthday tea party!  Lena has learned to love Ariel, Rapunzel, and other princesses over the last year so we invited some of her close friends to come over, dress up, do some creative crafts, and have treats and tea. 

The first hour of the party was spent doing creative centers.  We had the "princess potion" station where they made their own candy pixie sticks.  Then there was a button jewelry station where they could make button decorated hair clips and a beading station where they made bracelets and necklaces.  Lastly there was the nail salon station where I did their nails with Jamberry wraps and matching lacquer.  Such fun!

The second hour we moved into the dining room where the tables were set with real China, silverware, and antique tea cups.  We hung festive lanterns from the ceiling just like the movie Tangled.  Dan was our server and served everyone savory and sweet princess treats and the girls and their moms drank hot chocolate, juice, and tea.  Then it was time for cake and presents.  Grandma made a beautiful Little Mermaid cake!   Everyone took home a cute little zipper pouch with their initial on the outside to put all their creations and goodies inside.  It was such a fun party!
