My daughter was born on December 20th.  Not exactly prime birthday party season.  This year, for her 7th, we decided to have the party really early.  Mom translation…get it out of the way before the hustle and bustle-that way maybe it really feels like a birthday and not a pink-coated holiday celebration!

Her vision of a nice birthday party and my vision do not quite match up.  I had visions of white cake plates and polka dot ribbon with little girls dressed in pinafores.  Her version…glam ho.  ug.  We somehow compromised.  She got to have the party at a really cool dress up/salon close by and I got to do all the invites and party favors.  And we went with a SMALL guest list.  Fair enough.

Forgive the bad inside pictures.  FYI I did all the graphics, too.  Who knows, maybe I’ll release it as a kit or some printables!  Here’s what we did…

And here’s what we’re doing for the thank you note.  I have a picture of each girl getting dolled up that I will put where the gray square is.  Cute, huh?
