The second annual mother daughter tea party was such a fun day. My almost five year old has very clear visions of what she wants { that’s supposed to be a good thing, right?!} so she was a huge part of putting everything together. She is all about the projects just like mommy so half the fun is the preparing. Here is a look at what the party looked like. 
The color scheme began with fabric we picked out. I used the stich witchery trick to make a runner for the table and the buffet. I like the idea that I can reuse the fabric for pillows in my daughter’s room. 
Scrapbook paper and my Silhouette helped to make the napkin rings. The same tags were tied to the cookie wand party favors. 
Cookie wand party favors. You can read more about those here. 
Espresso cups were used as tiny tea cups! I wrapped a bit of the scrapbook paper around each one to give them a pop of color. 
I had bookmarked this tutorial from Sew Sweet Stitches on making pom poms months ago! I knew it would come in handy. 
Mini cupcakes were served up for dessert. 
For the tiered dishes I just stacked white plates on top of a candlestick. With the addition of flowers they were good to go. I wrapped the same scrapbook paper around soup cans to host the daisies. The daughters ate yogurt parfaits, fruit, tea sandwiches, cheese and crackers, and cupcakes. 
We couldn’t forget the mommies! So they had their own dessert tray as well as wraps to eat {Wraps work well when you are busy walking, talking, and watching over your little one}. 
Yogurt parfaits sat at each of the little girl’s places. They are easy to make {yogurt, granola, and fresh strawberries layered} and work well for all ages. We had a span of infants in the arms of moms all the way up to five year olds. 
The little girls came into a room with a coloring table and a peppermint scented play-doh table. I couldn’t resist this play-doh self portrait made by one of the little guests. Too cute. 
And of course we never think to take pictures until the end of the event . . . so here is a very tired mommy and daughter looking straight into the sun {in her fancy tea party dress of course!}. tea party wrap up! 
I am impressed if you made it to the bottom of this post and survived all of the pictures. We had such a great day and I was anxious to share with you. Sharing this party with: Polly Want a Crafter A Stroll Through Life Just a Girl
Wow Courtney it all looks so pretty and a lot of attention to detail. How funny I just made my first pom poms (in second last post) for my daughter's birthday. They are so effective and really make the room pop! Lovely photo of the two of you. Both beautiful! I like the table runner especially. Sonia x
Courtney, It looks awesome! I love how thoughtful all the little details are. Your princess is sure lucky to have you as her mom. I know she was probably just thrilled! I love all the flowers…so pretty. You rock (:

Making memories. My daughter and I used to have a "tea party" every Tuesday morning before she went to afternoon kindergarten. It's one of my most precious memories. I'm sure your daughter will always remember the time and attention you put into making her mother/daughter tea parties so special.
