I had such a great time planning my little princess' 1stballerina themed birthday party!!! Being the crazy that I am, I started months and months before the big day!!! I wanted it to be fluffy, girly and a total ballerina fest!!! I also thought it was really important to make it somewhat enjoyable for our friends that were invited that don't have kids, which is were the alchohol came in ;). We offered sandwiches,fruit, veggies, popcorn cones, a variety of juices, wine and a little bubbly!! I also knew that because we were inviting a variety of ages and both little girls and boys I had to make it somewhat short and make sure to have entertainment as the main focus of the party! We ended up going with a two hour timeline which the bulk of would be kiddy entertainment! If you have kids, you understand the attention span is pretty limited so short and sweet is perfect! We decorated with boas,balloons and feathers. Sherry at Sherry's Party Affair did all of our flowers!!! Sherry is a great family friend of ours and made our event incredible!! We offered bubbles for favors! We all know kids go nuts for bubbles! We had Mikey and Minnie come! I know characters are always risky but I wanted something that both the little boys and girls would like. Overall it was major fun!!!! I can't wait for her 2nd birthday party! I'd better start planning now! :)
