Entertaining: An Alice in Wonderland Birthday Celebration

There is nothing I enjoy more than planning birthday parties for my kids!  I have an arsenal of photos from old parties we’ve had over the past six years for my three children, that at some point I’ll share.  I’ve tried the gym and inflatables parties, we’ve done the Central Park Zoo birthday soiree, we did the “Let’s Dress Up” party at the dollhouse room in the Museum of the City of New York — and my kids and their friends have loved all of these celebrations.  However, I’ve realized that it’s a bit more fun for me (!) to have the at-home, good ‘old fashioned birthday celebration.  There’s nothing like creating life-long memories for your little ones with birthdays they will remember forever.

Alice in Wonderland, along with the enchanting and magical characters from the story, provided ample creative inspiration for my daughter’s 6th birthday party this weekend. We welcomed our pint-sized guests, ranging in age from 4 to 6, into our “Rabbit Hole”. Once all of the girls had arrived, we watched the old Disney classic on DVD, followed by lots of dancing and giggling, dinner and cake!  The birthday girl got into character as “Alice” with her sister as “The Queen of Hearts”.  A lot of fun was had by all and we sent the guests off with their own copy of the Random House version of the story in their goody bag.  Here are some of my photos:
