Alice in Wonderland Party

We recently hosted a housewarming Alice in Wonderland Party at the Fashionista’s new home.  For invitations, I decided to embellished some note cards I already had on hand. They originally looked like this:

A quaint tea party image, leftover scrapbook paper and Stickles glitter glue resulted in this:

I put the information on the back of the note card.

The divine Miss F is currently saving her pennies to purchase her dream dining set. So instead we placed two folding tables in the empty dining area to hold the food.

The drink area was set up in the kitchen. We made a favorite fruit punch and of course the Mad Hatter insisted upon tea.

I took plain polka dotted cups and mod podged a darling “Drink Me” image by Elaine Cox onto each cup.

Since this was Wonderland, a candy area was a must.

The sweets table also held fruit and homemade coconut cupcakes.

The centerpieces featured a 12 x 12 piece of scrapbook paper with rose images. It was topped with another piece of checkerboard paper. We then arranged red roses in clear vases. The Queen of Hearts would surely not approve.

Strewn all over the table were flowers, hearts, and other fun bits and bobs made from paper punches. This is an easy way to achieve customized confetti.

Alice in Wonderland Party
We had several small guests in attendance and I wanted to make sure they were entertained so we set up a coloring area in the empty second bedroom. (Free images are available to download at Disney.)

Thanks for coming along on this adventure.

    That candy corner of the table looks wonderful as do all your other decorations. I'm impressed that you decorated each & every little cup like you did.
