Selected as Party of the Day on September 30th!
Sommer's 5th Fairy Ballet
ByParty Recap
Without even allowing the glitter to settle from her 4th birthday party, my little lady insisted on a Fairy Party for the big 5… And boy what a fairy party we had! She insisted “fairies and butterflies mommy-but not Tinkerbell!”. A few days later it was “fairies, butterflies, and ballet mommy!”… Who knew that a then 4 year old could be soooo opinionated! She took on the big girl title and ran with it… Though, I must say she knows her stuff! From that point on, we were in party mode! Everything I came across in the stores seemed very commercial so in true fashion, we personalized every detail to fit her vision. Mommy made about 90% of the décor including the tutu for the table, complete with over 300 yds of tulle! I couldn’t have done it without my little fairy ballerina of course… Ruffles, tulle, tutu’s, pixie dust, wings, and glitter oh my!!! This was truly a labor of love and I had a ball doing it! My favorite birthday party to date for sure…
