As Miss C’s didn’t get to have a birthday party with friends last year; I have promised her one this year, that she will not forget in a hurry.
By hook or crook, she had a ball at her party with a twist of modern versus traditional. By starting off with some wicked dance moves from Funky Feet Dance party (taught by an excellent woman named Stephanie) along with Miss C’s favourite music and then with Alice in Wonderland tea-party thrown in.
There was this famous quote by Alice saying: You’re nothing but a pack of cards! With this, the grand entrance were made up of bunting made with playing cards at the party.
playing card: at any big supermarket
string: art craft shop
staples: at any big supermarket
I first saw this idea from sweet designs‘s blog and I just knew I wanted to do something similar for my daughter’s birthday party!
Mad Hatter: Do you care for tea? or how about this one: Have a very merry unbirthday! Well, since it was Miss C’s birthday, she can have a merry one, indeed.

The March Hare: You’re all late for tea! Thankfully, none of the tea-cups was thrown like he did in the movie.

mini-cup cakes: M & S
It seemed befitting to have parents to join in the birthday wishes at the end of the party, with this delicious cake made by my utterly genius half. Since Miss C is not a cake person at all, but have her love for brownies & all things chocolate so came across this gorgeous idea from made in melissa’s kitchen.
And as for the gift bag idea, again with a little bit of help from sweet design‘s blog; filled with a mini-version of playing cards, Alice in Wonderland’s Fortune Teller Favours, sweets wrapped in tissue paper/newspaper cracker & fruit winder. It was just a perfect party with a perfect ending.
