Happy 3rd Birthday! Alice in Wonderland Party

Maeve loves to play tea party so for her third birthday we decided to throw her a mad hatter tea party.  The quote from Alice in Wonderland "We're all mad here" by the Cheshire Cat pretty much sums up our family so we thought it was rather fitting!

The invitations were rolled scrolls with keys.

 The inside was a antique Alice picture which we thought reminded us of Maeve!

A major part of the party was hats.  We grabbed all of our hats from the dress up bin and ordered lots of different kinds of hats from Oriental Trading.  

I searched high and low for inexpensive glass bottles to put the tags on, however, it would be just too much money for what I needed.  So I settled for these Kool Aid Coolers which worked perfectly and were $1 for 6 bottles.  However, I warned my kids to enjoy them that day because they would never see them in our house again!!!

Adults had drink me drinks too!!

Tiara Yaz brought these party themed flowers with play cards and the bunny cookie holder!  

Cupcakes and cookies and playing cards were everywhere!!!

Goodie bags were filled with wild and wacky items.  Whoopie cushions, disappearing ink, walking chattering teeth, and fortune silver fish.

The table was set up for a tea party but the wind was so strong that it all blew away.  We had to hold everything down with rocks!!!

Playing card garland and Alice quotes hanging all over the yard.

Everyone was invited to wear a hat!!!! Great job dad!!!

Maeve was asleep when the party began and a pretty big grump when she woke up!!!!

The big kids played croquet.

 And Uncle Matt did play dough with Maeve.

We made a big mad hatter cake but it fell apart completey! So Uncle Eric stopped and got us a great DQ ice cream cake!

We had a great time and enjoyed our mad day!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday sweetheart!!!
