Since I am feeling in the party spirit, I thought we would have a party themed week here at Averie Lane!
First up is this adorable Ballerina Sparkle Party that I just put on for my daughter Ellery.
The theme was totally thought up by her and I did my best to meet her requests!
I was able to reuse much of the decor from her First Birthday (don't judge my awful photography skills!) so that kept costs to a minimum.
In fact looking at receipts, I spent a grand total of $38 on decor.
That was for 4 Giant Pom Poms and a canvas from Costco! All of which will find a home in Ellery's room! (Have I mentioned I hate wasting money on things that won't serve another purpose?)
Some of the reused items were the "Happy Birthday" banner and the framed "Ellery".
You can't have a ballerina party without tulle so I made the pom poms. There were several tutorials for DIY Pom Poms on Pinterest, but most required templates and circles...and seriously, way to much thinking.
I ended up referencing THIS TUTORIAL , substituting cardboard rectangles for the book.
My tip of the day- the more tulle the better!!!
Seriously, you can not have too much tulle. I mixed white, pink and sparkle tulle to achieve the look I wanted.
The party would not have been complete without a cake!
Ellery requested a ballet cake and my amazing cousin whipped up this little beauty!! It captures the Ballerina Sparkle theme PERFECTLY!!
Seriously the cutest cake on the planet!! She even made the bear a real tutu!! (I'm trying to convince her to start a cake business!)
The birthday girl loved it!!!
I wasn't able to get any great shots of the whole set up- since it was a evening party, but It was super adorable!
I love the giant E that found its way into the set up - I actually had my hubby build it for an entirely different purpose, but it fit perfectly with the party decor!
Don't miss out!
