Age: 1

Description:
Ruby in ONEderland
Design Inspiration:
I love the whole wonderland/ madhatter tea party theme. I thought it would be so cute to have an infant tea party complete with tulle wrapped highchairs!
Decorating Style:
whimsical
Project Details:
I worked on the centerpieces for this party for almost three months! I enjoyed making the centerpieces and favors so much, that I decided to open an Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/EventfullyYours the invitations came in an envelope with a big sticker that read " open me". invitations were by MJCorder designs http://www.etsy.com/shop/mjcorder?ref=pr_shop_more The party began with a children's singer who entertained the kids for about 40 minutes and then lunch was served. All tea sandwiches were in the shapes of teapots, flowers, and tea cups. Meanwhile, we had a face painter dressed as Alice and also a tea cup painting station. Ruby had a white rabbit smash cake and everyone else was served cupcakes and cookies in the wonderland theme. The children all went home with personalized bubble wands made by me, bubbles, and a Disney Alice in Wonderland board book. lanterns- www.lunabazaar.com polka dot paper plates- http://www.polka-dot-market.com/ grass placemats/runner with pink flowers- /www.butterflycraze.com cups with Krazy straws- party city
Favorite Items:
I love making all of the centerpieces. I'm not sure which one is my favorite but the white rabbit with his pocket watch and the queen of hearts with her card army were big hits!
Advice:
Start planning early!

Even though I am your mother, I think you did an incredible job with all the centerpieces. Each was unique & clever and so much fun. There was a lot of energy in the room because of the decor and fun touches. The colorful lanterns made everyone feel like they were in ONE-.derland.
Ruby loved her first birthday celebration!!!!!

Love the grass placemat/runner with pink flowers and the Silk green roses with the hat on top of all the
tea cups? What a clever idea… Incredible centerpieces!
A great concept for a Ladies tea party!

Please help, I could I turn this into a sweet 16 party? My daughter loves Alice in Wonderland, but I would want it to be whimsical yet elegant? Please any ideas?

Thank you, Thank You…. This will be the first party since she was 6 so it is a big deal and I want to make it perfect. The spa parties, fashion, pedicure, manicure, masquerade has already been done with her friends. Please help.

Hi Lisa-
I can do an “inspiration board” for your daughter’s party. Visit my Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/EventfullyYours

Sorry, I didn’t get back to you sooner. I just saw this.

Lisa Egan,

Just wondering if you could please provide the link to where you got the cardboard cutouts from?

Hi Allison,
Where did you buy the materials to make the grass runner? I have been looking everywhere for something similar in order to put it on my table for easter! Help!!
Allison

So, I am doing this same theme with my daughter’s 1st birthday. And oddly enough…my name is Allison, I am doing Abby in ONEderland, and also had an “OPEN ME” tag on the invites. lol Anyway, I am doing pops of flowers with my party and want so badly to have a grass table runner like yours. Where did you get it? Did you make it, if so how?
Rachel

I tried to find you on Etsy. But never could find your centerpieces. I’m planning my daughters first birthday. Are you still making the centerpieces?
