Ariel Party! Under the sea adventures!!

Any one who knows me knows that I love parties. Especially throwing my kids parties. I don't know if it's completely accurate to say I throw a party because it's more like an event.  Crafting has always been something that has been super therapeutic to me and I come from a generation of amazing creative women.

For starters, I have always done my daughters invitations by hand. I love the fact that one day she can look back at the book of invitations that I had made for her. From designing every detail to my late nights of gluing, cutting. An Ariel party was the request so an Ariel bash will be delivered!



The invitation:


Using the cutting machines that I own and the design software I have Baddabing baddaboom I  have lift off! Many hours of fine tuning the mermaid and trying not to go too over the top she is done and my daughter couldn't have been more thrilled!



Once the invitations were done, it was time to get started on the decorations.

We started with some characters, each made out of wood and hand painted! This was really fun and three of of my best friends and I spent our nights fine tuning the characters.













 I hired an amazing Ariel from a  company called www.wishuponaprincess.com  Lauren was beyond wonderful and the kids were mesmerized by her! From face painting to story time then singing and dancing she entertained all the little mermaids and mermen at the party! I couldn't give her a bigger recommendation!

Ariel's Grotto


 This was a great little mock up for her and she sat by the clam shell with the birthday girl as she read the story. It was so interactive with the kids we just couldn't believe how nicely they sat and how into the story they were with her! Really she was FANTASTIC!

Her cake! We made cake push pops which were fantastic because the kids were very excited about them as well as they didn't make a mess!

  1. Hi Courtney! Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my paper shelves! My neighbor actually custom-built them for me with just his sheer talent...no plans or anything! So I've never seen anything quite like them for sale anywhere. Sorry I can't be more help.

    I wish you would do some more blogging...I was just looking at this post and WOW!!!!! AWESOME party!!!

    Thanks again for stopping by!
