Winter Princess Birthday Party

This WINTER PRINCESS BIRTHDAY PARTY by Eleanor Touchet of Pink Peppermint Paper, LLC will make your heart melt. Such a beautiful and delicate party. I just love the soft cotton snow…and look at the vintage princess doll & the victorian ice skates inside the apothecary jars. What a perfect party for winter birthday's. I love the theme!

Here is what Eleanor said about the party- "For my daughter’s 3rd birthday we combined two of her favorite things, princesses and snow, for a Winter Princess celebration. We hand delivered the majority of the glitter-embellished invitations so I got a little playful with addressing them. There were Ladies, Dukes and even Barons on the invitation list.

Guests were welcomed inside the castle to find the royal banquet table stretched out underneath a sky of falling snow. We had fur-trimmed snowflake crowns for the boys and tiaras for the girls. The birthday girl’s throne at the head of the table was all wrapped up in a bow and set off with her royal portrait.

Laid out on a blanket of snow down the center of the table were snow globes filled with a different royal and snowy scenes--a royal princess, a crown, a snowy church, a silver slipper, and a Victorian ice skate among others.

Since it was a surprisingly mild day we set up a play table of artificial snow outside. We had a few scoops and buckets and the kids enjoyed a rare chance to play in the snow! Then everyone headed back inside for cake. As party favors, everyone got snow powder so they could make their own snow at home. We had a high time in the snow for our little winter birthday girl's celebration!"

winter wonderland cocoa party

here's tiffany's post in her own words...

"I had a wonderful time at our annual cocoa party and even more fun planning and working on it. Our theme this year was a snowy winter wonderland. Inspired from This winter wonderland tablescape from Inspired Bride that we saw on Hostess With the Mostess (one of my all time favorite places for inspiration)

For the invitations we used the "Sweet Treat" cups from Stamp'n Up to add a little more snow to the invitation.

I saw this idea once on Martha Stewart quite a while ago and they turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself. I took styrofoam balls and sprayed them with spray adhesive and rolled them in fake snow.

We took the branch idea from Inspired Bride and sprayed these branches with the snow in the can and they "looked" great but when it came time to use them the snow started flaking off. SO, I should have used the instructions from Inspired Bride and spray painted them white- note to self. We also hung snow flakes from the branches for a more wintery feel. Love how they turned out!!

I am a huge fan of Amy Atlas and love her simple yet amazing table scape's she does. So in her honor, I tried.

We tried our hand at cake pops from Bakerella, they're really not too difficult and are super cute so if you ever need a fun new sweet to try you should really give these a go. (I'd do chocolate cake next time instead of yellow)

We also got together to decorate snowflake sugar cookies that turned out really cute. (and yummy)

We also had ordered powdered sugar doughnut holes (cause they look like snowballs) but didn't get exactly what we were hoping for so we improvised and rolled our glazed doughnut holes in powdered sugar.

And to finish off the night we sent everyone home with more cakepops to enjoy later. We put these bags together using American Crafts Merry Mint paper and hung a snowflake in the window."
