Fairy Princess Party

With all the turmoil that has surrounded Hurricane Ike, maybe it's time for a little make-believe! Fairy Princess Parties are still so popular with little girls and moms alike. I recently received a great invitation by Cid Pear Stationery. The invitation is not too cutesy and features fantastic watercolor art on textured ivory paper and a coordinating lined envelope. Unfortunately, I don't have a pic of the invitation but I did find the coordinating thank you note and it is too cute!

There are such fun accessories to really "theme out" your little one's party. Have you caught cupcake fever? Try the cupcakes at Crave and then think about getting these adorable princess cupcake wrappers by Paper Orchid.
