Ariella is our little winter baby, with her birthday falling in the first week of January. Even though we live in Los Angeles and it’s not technically freezing over here, I still loved the idea of making a ‘winter wonderland’ themed 1st birthday party for her. I’d seen quite a few winter wonderland kids parties floating around on the web, but I didn’t want recreate those typical winter parties with penguins, polar bears, and igloos. Instead, I had the idea in my head for a rustic/shabby chic winter wonderland party that still had the winter feel, but was a bit more girly & sophisticated. Just like our little girl!

It’s hard to believe that so many of the items are DIY, they are so well-made and coordinated!

Hey Molly. I saw your comment on here and thought I might be able to help. I used the invitation I saw on here as my inspiration and recreated one of my own. If you would like to email me, I can share the one I made for my sisters baby shower and create one for you.

Hi Danielle-
I posted the invites I made on Etsy.com. I have gotten several requests so I thought it would be easier to post it. Here’s the link:

I’m doing tomato soup grilled cheese shooters for our party. How did you keep the grilled cheese warm? I figured I would put the tomato soup in a crockpot to keep warm, but I wasn’t sure what to do with the grilled cheese?

This is so amazing! I am looking for inspiration for my own 21st winter wonderland themed party but I don’t think I could ever manage something this perfect! A few people have already asked, but I just thought I would ask again- how did you manage to create such amazing invitations??? Advice would be much appreciated!

Entertaining With Emily
Hi Everyone – Thanks for your sweet comments! In regarding to the tomato soup and grilled cheese shooters – here’s the scoop: Keep the soup warm in a crockpot on Low or Warm. Have someone re-fill the tray of shooters when some get taken. We made the grilled cheese ahead of time – slice into triangles and keep warm in an oven on low or a toaster oven. Or, you can just have a crockpot on the table with tomato soup in it and have the guests serve themselves!
