I think this is awesome. How much did you charge for this event?
Nicole W says...
It was for my daughter, so it was a labor of love only! If I remember correctly, when I added up all my receipts, the grand total was about $580. Oops! Busted that budget. But still, I'm pretty proud of what I was able to do with that amount.

Party Recap...
My daughter requested a fairy-themed 7th birthday, and I was delighted to oblige! To give the party a twist on all the other fairy parties out there, we decided to use a Cornish Fairies theme. That brought in a recent trip to Cornwall, our family heritage, and gave us a folklore framework from which to draw inspiration. I did it all myself, and am going to be posting tons of how-tos on my company's blog (link in my profile) if you're interested.
Party Highlights
Best Moment
Once structured activities were done, the kids decided to reenact the story I'd written for the invitation. They played "Ainsley's Very Unusual Day" until 10:30 at night!
Best Dressed
Has to go to my birthday-girl, the rainbow fairy, though I have to say that my costume was pretty spectacular, too. I'm the photographer, though, so there are no photos of me. ;-)
First To Arrive
Faithful friend Jill and her daughter Kaitlyn who came over to help with last minute setup.
