Skating Birthday Party

The skating party went so great. The kids had a blast. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of the actual kids skating because I was decorating for the skating after party that was located at the birthday girls home.

The Invitation that set the tone for the day

Here is the Birthday Girl

Cake

Once again Cakes Plus of Laurel Maryland did a great job of creating the perfect color and design for the skating party. I just love the skates on the top.

Favors

Purple Satin boxes from Michael's dollar section. I just added a purple and green polka dot bow and stuffed it with green tissue paper and Friendship necklace with two charms that said Laugh and Love

Make your own bracelet

The kids had a great time making their own fashion bracelet.

Sweet Shoppe

There was so much candy, cookies and treats that it almost didn't fit. This was a kids heaven.

I made the pretzel sticks, marshmallow pops and cones.

Marshmallow lollipops below from Homegoods

I ordered all other candy from Bulkfoods.com. They have great selections and different sizes that can be ordered. Also the shipping price is fantastic!

The chocolate covered apples and skate cookies were made by Joy Blakeney of Joyful Creations. They were yummy and went great with the dessert display.

Roller Skating Party Take 2

I have been working on the invitation for the rollerskating party that I'm planning for October. The mother loved the idea of the circus invitations that was created in April. So I took that concept and created the roller skate invitation(of course with the help of Microsoft word).

Here are some of my current finds. The cute little favor boxes to the left are from Micheal's dollar section. We are thinking about putting some sort of friendship bracelet for all of her friends. The purple and green vases were found at a local event party store, The Pleasure of Your Company(also has a sister store Hannah Elizabeth). I can't wait to complete a table scape with these. In the back you can see the continuation of my cone obsession. I found some great purple and green paper from Joann Fabrics.

As my first year of Enchanted Expectations has come and gone, the first party that I created under the name was a spa party for a special 9 year old. The mother was so satisfied with the results that she has hired me again to celebrate her daughter's 10th birthday. This time we will have a skating party with the color scheme of purple and lime green. Below I have put together an inspiration board to keep me "rolling" ahead. In the coming weeks, I will be posting some of the items that I have found to make this party complete. Stay tuned....
