Princess & Knight Party: 3rd Birthday

Emma's 3rd birthday had a Princess & Knight Theme. It was a small party with just kids who lived on the street.

Outside our house: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Craft Table:

The kids decorated foam crown magnets with foam stickers, sequins & pom poms.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cake: The formal picture on the cake table was taken at Disney's Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. My parents took Emma there for her birthday and she was given the Royal Treatment.

This was my first big cake and it took me like 7 hours to make. Totally worth it when I saw the look on Emma's face. Emma even cried when I started to cut it because she said she wanted to keep it forever!

Princesses:

The Unhappy Princess:
The Knights:
Lucked out with party favors because Dollar Tree had knight gear and Target's Dollar Spot was full of princess items for Halloween. The knight's crowns are actually from Burger King & I just covered the restaurant logo with sparkly scrapbook paper.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Room all decorated:

The tent effect was made with $1 plastic tablecloths cut in half lengthwise and tacked to the ceiling. It really gave the room a dramatic look for very little money. I also used the same technique to make the swags over the doors and archways.

Time to eat!

I served peanut butter & jelly sandwiches cut out with a flower cookie cutter. There was also every "pink" snack I could find, Berry Rice Krispie Treat wands & homemade chocolate pretzel sticks.

Opening the presents:

Notice my 92 year old grandmother wearing her tiara. She had just been elected Homecoming Queen of her nursing home!
