I was so inspired by your 1st pink birthday party {and I thouroughly plan to use your 2nd b-day party as inspiration} that I did my own pink party with a "Amy Atlas" inspired dessert table. So, in case you need inspiration {based on YOUR inspiration. hehe} check out my daughter's 1 year birthday party. Thanks so much for all of the beautiful inspiration that you provide. ;)Bethenyhttp://tomseth.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927526976748945841.post-82682593698364287402010-11-20T09:21:33.379-05:002010-11-20T09:21:33.379-05:00I've bookmarked this party idea of milk and co...I've bookmarked this party idea of milk and cookies for my baby's first birthday. It could easily be done for any age birthday. It's classic and would be perfect with the chocolate tutu that you sell on your ETSY site. <br /><br />http://creativehostess.co.uk/2010/02/08/adorable-party-contest-finalist-milk-and-cookies-first-birthday/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927526976748945841.post-52998219826279477882010-11-13T04:56:27.000-05:002010-11-13T04:56:27.000-05:00I love any theme that takes me back to my childhoo...I love any theme that takes me back to my childhood.

Unable to find a pink and purple unicorn pinata, I improvised by "redecorating" a DONKEY pinata, giving him a horn and everything. Trouble was, I used so much hot glue on that thing, that it was impossible to break it when the time came! Not even the dads could get it open. My husband had to get out his saw. So funny (now).RoseMillsOhiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13030122914313686242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927526976748945841.post-54866161037179424022010-11-11T14:43:59.314-05:002010-11-11T14:43:59.314-05:00Love your stuff - Tatertots sent me!Love your stuff - Tatertots sent me!Sarah Crankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836404469526636730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927526976748945841.post-87810390653395440042010-11-11T14:41:29.123-05:002010-11-11T14:41:29.123-05:00I'd love to see a shirt with Jane Eyre or Emil...I'd love to see a shirt with Jane Eyre or Emily Dickinson quotes!<br />Love the Fairyland shirt!<br />Or J.M.

I bought pink chef hats for all the guests and aprons (of course, I had my Caroline's monogrammed as the birthday girl)... I found her an outfit that cupcakes on it... and then spent a few hours baking different variety of cupcakes and had a buffet of undecorated cupcakes laid out and then the kids made 6 cupcakes... frosted them, decorated them with all types of candies, etc... and then I bought cupcake to-go boxes and they got to take them home, with their chef hat and apron.

My husband jokes that the parties are as much for the Mamas as they are for the girls!<br /><br />I love the idea of a Nutcracker Ballet birthday party for Miss Lillie. This theme would be a great excuse to jumpstart your Christmas decorating, as well as showcase those gorgeous Dear Lillie tutus! <br /><br />Miss Lillie could come as a mini-Sugarplum Fairy dressed in a pink tutu, while the other gals could wear white tutus to look like the ballerinas from the Waltz of the Snowflakes. <br /><br />The decoration opportunities are endless: pink tissue paper pom-pom flowers, glittering snowflakes, wooden Nutcracker toy soldiers, satin ballet slippers, etc… <br /><br />Since it is a tea party, you could serve food items based on Act II of the ballet, when Clara is presented with a celebration of sweets from around the world. There’s Spanish chocolate, Arabian coffee, Chinese tea, marzipan and of course ginger snaps (for Mother Ginger). In lieu of a birthday cake, you can have a tiered tray of cupcakes topped with beautiful fondant flowers (for the Waltz of the Flowers). You also can make gingerbread soldiers and these adorable chocolate-covered cherry mice would be a nice nod to the Mouse King: http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/chocolate-cherry-mice-800468/<br /><br />For party favors, you can either give a Christmas ornament or a CD of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Ballet. If you do this theme, please take lots of pics b/c I might want to steal it for my little girl’s party next year!<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />Ruthie<br /><br />PS. We did an Alice in Wonderland party for my little one last year.

I know how much you adore books and love to read, so i thought Lillie must be a little book worm too:) You could have bookmarks with the guests names as place cards. You could use Lillie's favorite books as decore, encorporating Fancy Nancy and others. You could make banners with some of her favorite quotes or lines from her favorite stories! Not sure how to work it into cupcakes or cake yet but i'm sure there's some fabulous way. Just a thought. If there's anyone who could bring this idea to life it would be you:) Have fun with it and take care of yourself!

You can have a mirror set up for them to see themselves all dolled up. You can even have a nice little candy bar. have different sizes of clear jars and put whatever color theme your going for in the jars. I think ribbon candy is so pretty too. You could decorate with ruffly, pretty frilly stuff. You can even go with the chocolate idea too. Have a chocolate bar with different small chocolates and do browns and pinks as the color or whatever color you are liking. I just love pink. :) whatever you choose, I know it will be fab and she will love it. I can't wait to see pics of her party!CourtneysMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16416488666649645585noreply@blogger.com
