A Very Merry UnBirthday to YOU!

Here is what the invitation looked like. (except it was in 3-D)

a little out of order here, but for the party favors, each kid got to take home their party hat, teacups, Caterpillar bubbles (picture below) and........

I just made these in photoshop and adhered them to the bubbles.

some 'looking glass candy' (my first attempt ever to make candies, and luckily most turned out perfect, while a few not so much), and.................

a mome rath.

When the kids first arrived they went to the "Mad Hatter Hat Shoppe" and the boys made mad hatter hats and the girls made queen of heart crowns. They also got to decorate their teacup saucers and color pictures from the disney movie.

It is hard to see from the picture, but behind the craft table is deck-of-card garlands hanging in the tree.

These are the topiary's that were centerpieces on each table, with white roses painted halfway red by the deck of cards that were scattered in the topiaries and on the table. I also had bright colored flowers as centerpieces with google eyes on them to look like the 'talking flowers'.

The kids got to eat gogurts, cheshire cat cookies (picture below),

sandwiches with "Eat Me" signs on them, and fruit.

They also had lemonade with "Drink Me signs on them".

Here is a shot of the two tables they ate at. I used pom-poms rather than paper lanters, cause they were easier to make, but I think it still worked. I made Kennedee's chair a little more festive with extra flowers on it.

After we ate, we played games. First was croquet with the Queen using a croquet set and oversized playing card I found in the casino section of the party store, then 'pin the smile on the cheshire cat', and then a fill-up-the-teacup-with -water-race.

after we opened presents, the kids got to eat "queen of hearts" cupcakes

My good friend made this beautiful topsy turvy cake for the party. So talented! It was so hard to finally cut into it to eat it.
