The Invitation

Here is the tea cup invitation I created – the original template I used is from www.melstampz.blogspot.com.

The Table

For the decorations, I made tissue paper flowers in lime green & pink and hung them from the ceiling using fishing line. The idea and instructions for how to make the flowers came from www.weddingbycolor.com. The tissue paper flowers were so simple to make and turned out beautifully so now that the party is over I’m going to hang them in a corner of my daughters room. I dressed the table with a simple white linen table cloth paired with a hot pink runner. A teapot from the dollar store served as a vase for the arrangement of mums and tulips. For snacks we cut fruit and cheese, using cookie cutters, into flowers and stars and placed them on pretty platters. The tea (a.k.a. apple juice) was served in little green espresso cups that I found at IKEA.

Sampling the "Tea"

As an activity at the party we made these adorable bouquets of felt flowers and arranged them in a little lime green flower pot. They turned out even better than I had hoped. The original idea for the flowers came from www.americancrafts.typepad.com. You can find detailed instructions on their website. Once the girls finished their flowers we had them stick them into floral foam inside the pots and covered the top with spanish moss.
