Go Mama Monday: Ballerina Birthday Bash!!


My daughter turned 3, and I decided it was time for a totally girly, outrageously cute, fabulous fun PARTY!!!


She loves to dance so we had a Ballerina Birthday Bash!
Scrapgirls had just what I was looking for to make this
perfectly polkadotty invite!


I'd been wanting to make this totally fantastic balloon wreath from How Does She forever, and this was the perfect occasion!


 I added a little pennant bunting for fun! 


 I made rainbow tutus for all the little ballerinas.


We feasted on strawberry and donut hole kabobs...


 ...and strawberry shortcake!!
That fabulous tiered plate was made from plates and sundae glasses from the dollar store!! Such a steal, and so easy!!


 Capri-suns are always tastier under the table.


 Ballerina Birthday Banner with graphics from Print Candee!


 Tissue Pom-poms were hanging from the trees! 


We settled down on the blanket for a ballerina book.


  They loved it!


 We danced around the green...


 ...twirled around...


 ...and skipped around the roses!


We played pin the tutu on Kelsey!


And sang to our favorite birthday ballerina!!


 It's all about the frosting.


 Birthday balloon favors for all the little ballerinas!


 And tied to the bottom, bracelets and a wand wrapped in chiffon!


 She had a ball at her ballerina birthday bash!!
And I had a ball creating it for her!

    Very fun! We had a ballerina birthday party for my oldest when she turned 3 (http://btanders.blogspot.com/2010/01/ballerina-birthday.html). I think all girls love to dance and twirl. Happy Birthday to your little one!

    Any chance you could share your secret for making the tutus? They look "thick" so its making me think they took less time to make! :)
