Disney's classic Alice in Wonderland was my favorite movie as a girl, and still one of my favorite Disney movies. As a teenager I started thinking how fun it would be to have a Mad Tea Party themed birthday party, but had no clue how to execute it.
Well, as I was thinking about what I would do for Gemma's birthday party, I was reminded (thanks to Pinterest) of the idea of a Mad Tea Party!
And just like that I got SUPER excited! I started planning immediately....like 5 months before her birthday! Haha!
I'm happy with how it turned out, though I am disappointed in how few pictures I took! Unfortunately I was so busy at the party talking to people and keeping the food filled that I forgot to take pictures of Gemma walking around and playing with other kids! Agh!!!
Anyways, here are the pictures!
This photo I had printed and hanging on the front door.
Okay, so having this party at my aunt's house was the best idea ever. She had so many flowers just around the house, plus look at those cute teapots!! Not to mention candles, garland, and topiaries!
"Happy unBirthday!"
Found a bunch of teapots at DI for cheap and spray painted them white to use as centerpieces! I love how they turned out!
Okay and let's talk about these cakes. They were my favorite part of the whole set up. Seriously, how amazing are these?!
Thank you to Kitty Holdaway for the adorable cakes!
They were white chocolate with raspberry filling and it was so good!!
Gemma's smash cake! I'll be honest, I was almost disappointed with this in a way. It was SO CUTE!....too cute! How on earth could I let Gemma smash this little masterpiece?! Just look at those tiny details!
The classic Alice in Wonderland playing in the background. Gemma got the blu-ray for her birthday!
Dinner was pulled pork on rolls!
I was shopping at Home Goods back in May when I came upon this teapot...there was no way I could leave the store without buying it. It was perfect!!
This picture makes me laugh...everyone looks so bored...maybe they were. I was getting Gemma ready for the cake smash!
The birthday girl was starting to get sleepy!
Gemma loved her smash cake! She ate so much of it, but much more of it ended up in her lap! She eventually just started scooping it onto herself Haha!!
More pictures of this cake, cause I'm obsessed!
Time for presents! Gemma really wasn't interested, she was really just super tired!
Me and my angel!
I love this little family of mine. This is happiness.
Thank you to everyone who came to the party to celebrate with us! We love all the gifts she received and we're grateful for each one!
And thank you to Aunt Kimi for letting us have the party at your house (and for all the rearranging of furniture I did!) :)
