Five and FANCY !

Madison’s Birthday was NOT celebrated with a “party”, it was a SOIREE! I  made the invitations and mailed them out three weeks in advance. INVITE MADDIE for blog

One of Madison’s favorite books is “Fancy Nancy” by  Jane O’Connor. If you are not familiar with these books, they are precious!  To “Nancy” the fancier the better!  Our goal was all things “Fancy”!

The table was set with Hot Pink and plenty of ‘Fancy” extras! (I glued rhinestones on all the plastic flatware…)

A hot pink Eiffel Tower of course!   I even found Eiffel Tower cups!  Now how cute are those??

I made a beautiful crown for the Birthday Girl!

The trimmings were POSH down to the last detail! (That’s “fancy” for FANCY!)

There were different “stations” for the girls to visit:

Our special boutique where they received pearls and a feather boa. And they had their picture done in the “Fancy” chair once they were all “fancied” up!

My hairdresser came and gave the girls all “fancy” up-doo’s complete with glitter and topped off with a tiara!IMG_4365

Don’t they just look adorable !  They were all so still getting their hair done!

We had a station for make-up and face paint as well as manicures and fancy nail charms!

The last station was “La Posh Patisserie” where they decorated a tiara shaped cookie.  They loved this and working with all the “fancy” sprinkles & sparkling sugars!

And what Patisserie would be complete without CAKE!  And CUPCAKES!IMG_4299

 Each one of the toppers was hand made from fondant.  The cake is covered with home made marshmallow fondant.  I had a blast making these!

And for the FANCY FINISH we made Parfaits!  (That’s fancy for ice cream sundaes)

There were also plenty of “fancy” snacks for all the guests!  (Mom’s included")

Homemade chicken salad, princess party snack mix, carrots & dip, fancy fruit ka-bobs…

Posh Pink Punch

Merci – Please take a party favor bag!

I used stamps for the Oooh-la-la and the Eiffel tower and Voila!…made Eiffel Tower white chocolate lollypops!  

The ONLY boy admitted to the Party!  Hiding behind his stolen balloon!!   (Colin – my grandson!!)

  11. How precious, the birthday girl and the party! I did a Fancy Nancy party last year, and it was so much fun, but I'm afraid yours may have been fancier! Love the pink swags on the table and the fabric covered chairs. What a great idea to have a hair dresser do their hair. That cake and the cupcakes are adorable, and I love those Eiffel tower cups! I'm sure this will be a party they'll talk about forever. laurie

  41. What a lovely party! It looks like you put a lot of effort into making her BD one that she will always remember.

    I have spent time looking through your blog and noticed that your screened porch is very much like Susan's from Between Naps on the Porch.

    Then I read your post about when you and your friends went to visit her for lunch! How fun was that?!

    I took a look at your website. Looks like you are off to a good start. I also have a website offering home decor and little girl things. I hope that you found the link to it and took a peek at it.

    I am so glad you left a comment on my blog so that I was able to find yours. I am now a follower of yours and will be looking forward to reading more!
