An American Girl Birthday Tea Party

     

     This year Miss Ella asked for an American Girl tea party for her birthday theme and well I thought it sounded like a great idea. How could I deny her a girly tea party on her 9th birthday? Lets face it she doesn't have many doll playing hears left and generally what my baby wants my baby gets. 

     Ella had a few requirements for her party:

• Everyone dressed up in their fancy party dresses
• Everyone's best doll/teddy/stuffy tagged along
• We had to have doll treat bags and big treat bags for the girls
• Her doll Kit needed a new party dress to attend since it was Kit's party as well. (Kit was a present from us on her 7th birthday) 
• Rainbow bit mini cupcakes for the girls and dolls
• Fruit kabobs for a chocolate fountain (this was a last minute idea) 
• Tea party for the dolls

I handmade this dress for Ella's doll Kit as per Ella's request.

The party table complete with pink lemonade - everything according to  the birthday girl's specifications.

Both sizes of treat bags

The doll sized ones

A small ice cream, bottle of "pop" , party favour, mini chocolate bar , doll candy sticks (we made these) and a doll sized balloon.

    Ella had an amazing 9th Birthday Party.  She thanked me a million times but the real thanks was seeing the delight on her face and non stop grins.  It made all the hard work worth it.  I love to make my girl happy.
