We celebrated our daughters 4th bday this past weekend. I think this is a great menu to a perfect princess tea party.
Not only is this party fun and fancy but its inexpensive and youll have left over crafts for the kids to use to make their valentine day cards.
Invitation was handmade as follows:
Sydney is 4!
Our Sassy Cupcake, Sydney, is 4 and has requested your presence at the cupcake palace for a tea party. Please come dressed in your fancy pants or party dress. Fancy delights, finger food, crafts and fun.
Party from 12-2pm
