Tutu Much Fun!

Since Grace was turning 2 and took that ballet class last fall, I thought it'd be fun to go off "Two" and throw a "TwoTwo" party for her 2nd birthday.

Here's her invite that Seven Cupcakes on Etsy.com created for me.

I love arranging flowers and got some bulk pink and green flowers that went with the colors of her party.


I chose cupcakes instead of a cake since Grace loves them. Seven Cupcakes did the adorable cupcake toppers for me too.


Seven Cupcakes also did this adorable banner for us.

I had some girls from a local ballet academy come lead the little ones in a few dance routines. We moved the furniture in the family room either out or pushed it along the walls. Grace, I think, was a little overwhelmed by it all and didn't want to dance at all! But she did take the time away from eating her cupcake to pose.

For entertainment, we blew up a picture of a ballerina and did "Pin the Tutu on the Ballerina". I brought in Grace's picnic table and covered it with white paper. Then I put out baskets of crayons and ballet themed stickers for them to decorate the paper with.


For party favors, I had SugarCoated Cookies also on Etsy.com do Tutu shaped sugar cookies. Seven Cupcakes did labels that said "Thanks for coming to plie' with me"


Since it was at 10 am, I did kid friendly brunch foods - mini muffins, pigs in a blanket, fruit, mini quiche, juice boxes. All stuff I didn't have to worry with cooking that morning.

And no party for Grace would be complete without Sissy. I made her a onesie with ballet shoes.


Can you tell I like planning children's parties???
