saying "thank you" is as equally important as saying "please"

after the party is over, thank you cards MUST be sent out!!!
these are the corresponding thank you notes to the mad hatter invitiations my niece will be sending out to express her gratitude to all the kids that attended her party and all the wonderful gifts she received.


and no i don't think a child is ever too young (or too old) to learn the etiquette of writing a thank you note.   :o)

don't be late for a very important date!

my niece had her mad hatter tea party yesterday and it was the most fun filled children's party i've ever been to.  and the most colorful!  big paper flowers and decorative lanterns were strung above the main table as kids ate with colorful mismatched place settings.  little flower arrangements lined across the center of the table adding even more vibrant colors to the setting.
 

the activities ranged from decorating your own hat, to face painting and of course as my niece had requested, a piñata!



my mom made a hat cake to resemble the invitations with a side of equally fun stacked cupcakes which the kids (and a few parents) gobbled up in an instant.

mad hatter tea party

for my niece's 4th birthday she is going to have a mad hatter tea party.

i love the mad hatter tea party theme because it allows me to play with all sorts of fun colors. the hat is made of glitter felt fabric, with actual ribbon used as the trim and paper flowers with a rhinestone center as added embellishment. i got to pair it up with fushia envelopes, lined with the perfect orange with white polka dot wrapping paper.
