Party Favours
This is what it looked like after they’d all gone home….
and let’s be honest – it looked like that for days afterward…
Tell me – have you heard of Fancy Nancy?
How do you feel at the end of a party?
Utter relief that it is over? Or itching for the next one, like me?
*An enormous thank you to all of the Mums and family who just got in there and enthusiastically helped out on the day. As always, I couldn’t have done it without you! An extra special thanks must go to my beautiful cousin-in-law Kirra who so generously took most of these wonderful photos. Thank you. xo
Another gorgeous party! The paper plate handbags look amazing! Well done!!! x
As ever, I am in awe! Such a clever combination of activities with both simple (dress ups) & complicated things (handbags looked v fun). And the amazing food!

Awesome! It all looks just fabulous. Still finding it funny that we both gained inspiration for our parties from one another's kidspot posts, lol. The paper bag handbags were perfect for putting the goodies into. Great idea.
Man! I want a Fancy Nancy birthday party! Gosh I just love the effort you go to Emma -I especially love the fruit wands and edible tea cups and the pin the jewel is INSPIRED! I must show my little girls! But then again….don't want to raise the bar!!!
Absolutely fabulous! Love every bit of it… the food, the games and activities… those PENS!!!!<br />Best of all – it wasn't just beautiful but it looks like they all had a BLAST.x<br />Well done YOU.<br />xx
Wonderful stuff, Em, a proper little girlie girl party. I loved seeing Deb's paper plate handbags make an appearance too (SUCH a good party game). You are still my queen of parties (you share the title with Simoney from Great Fun for Kids). Stylish but REAL parties that kids absolutely love. x
Okay I'm madly taking notes for Shorty Divine next year. Where did this Fancy Nancy come from. She sounds like a winner. I cannot read the Wizard of Oz story book one more time!
Oh I just love it that you guys got dressed up for the occasion too! That tiara really suits you!
This looks fabulous Emma, great inspiration for the Fancy Nancy party I'm planning with my sister for my almost 5 year old niece!<br />I'm wondering if any boys came and how you managed that as it's such an overtly girly party theme!
