Where did you get the tees? I want to have the partygoers decorate tees but I cant find anywhere to buy them. Thanks!

Hi Amber! I got them from an etsy seller -- http://www.etsy.com/shop/socute2 She made them for me at a great price, without the design, and then I had them printed locally. Thanks for asking!

Hi Holly! Thanks for the info and tip on ordering. We'll keep you posted.-m

Happy to help! I did just go back and read her feedback, and it seems like a lot of people are having trouble with orders taking too long, so you might want to try a different vendor. I did a quick search for "american girl doll food" on etsy.com and there are a lot of items that might work for your party from other sellers. Oh, just wanted to let you know that I paint child/doll sized tea cups - my shop is www.hollyslay.etsy.com. Have a great party!

Where did you get your invitations printed? I'd love to use them at my daughter's party next month. What a cute party!! Love all your ideas.

Hi Jen! I ordered them through Olliegraphic, they have an etsy site and a regular website. Here's a link to their Etsy site:http://www.etsy.com/shop/olliegraphic You could probably message her through etsy and send her the link to my party and she can find that file and change it for your party. Thanks for your sweet note! holly

Holly S wrote:
I got the hair clips at a craft store like Hobby Lobby. Then we decorated them with stick on jewels, ribbons, etc.

This are adorable. Where did you find them?
Holly S wrote:
Hi Danielle! They're from Olliegraphic -- http://olliegraphic.com/ -- They were a custom order (I sent her a photo of my daughter's dress and she was able to match it, along with hair style/color), I am sure if you contact the shop, she can design invitations for you!

Where did you order the shirt stickers from?

Love the shirts and tutu for the dolls! Where can I order?

HI Tina! I got the tee shirts from an etsy seller -- http://www.etsy.com/shop/socute2 She made them for me at a great price, without the design, and then I had them printed locally. My mom made the tutus -- they're just a ribbon as a waistband, with lots of different ribbons/tulle strips tied to the waistband ribbon.

Did you design the template for the shirt yourself?
