I was so thrilled when my daughter, Avery, said she wanted to have a Beauty and the Beast themed birthday party. I loved the new movie and thought the theme would be so pretty and fun to execute.
As always, my twin sis did an incredible job designing the printables for the party. This invite inspired the whole party design. Isn't it gorgeous?
I loved how this enchanted rose turned out. I found the rose and domed glass at Hobby Lobby. The stand is an old one I got at Target.
I used a tutorial online for making Belle themed slime and loved the idea for party favors. Isn't it so pretty? The rose beads added such a great touch. (I found the beads on Amazon.)
I found these adorable Belle bracelets on Etsy for party favors. Avery loved them, and I did too!
This is what the favors looked like all wrapped up and with the thank you tag.
Amazon Prime became my best friend while prepping for this party. I got these paintable teacup planters for the kids to paint on Amazon.
After painting, we played some party games. We played pass the parcel first. I played a song from the movie while they played it.
Then we played pin the rose on Belle.
Avery insisted on using these multicolored roses instead of red.. which was hard for my color coordinating brain at first... but it was in fact her party, not mine, so I let her use them. haha! (They were trying to pin them in Belle's hand.) The Belle poster was found at Walmart.
After the games, it was time to eat! The kids dug right in. My sisters helped me so much with this party.. there's no way I could've gotten it all done without their help. We made this delicious tortellini pasta salad, and tea sandwiches - egg salad, cucumber, ham, turkey, and pb&j. We also served cheese, cherries, strawberries, and veggies with ranch.
I loved these pretty rose toothpicks I found at Michael's.
I scoured my dad's office for yellow, white, pink or blue books to prop things up on the tables with. With Belle being a lover of reading, the books were a perfect touch.
These watercolor paintings of Belle were found online. My sis tweaked the colors on some of them for me so they'd go nicely with the décor.
How pretty are these food label tags my sis designed?! I love them.
More of the watercolors.. loved them.
Jaime, my sis, had the idea to hang the garland from Avery's room above the food table. I love how it looked.
I also love the white teapot, white teacup the forks are in, the pink tiered tray, pink fruit basket, and pink pitcher I found.. some on Amazon, and some at random stores.
I made a layered cake again (see my Rapunzel party for my first layered cake I ever made). I was so busy getting everything ready before guests arrived, that I relied on my sisters to decorate it. They made it look so beautiful!! I chose to use the Belle doll from the Disney Animation collection (the same type of Rapunzel doll I used last year). Isn't she charming and adorable? I really think the cake was perfectly perfect. I loved how delicate and girly it was.
Look at the cute accessories that came with the Belle doll - the bread basket with loaves of bread in it, and the book in her lap. So cute right?
These wavy cake stands are from Pier 1. Jaime has had some for years, and I finally had to buy my own, because I love hers so much.
The yellow and pink taffies we found at Trader Joe's.
One of my fave things about the party was the straws.. funny, I know. But it's true! The deep blue and rose design on them was gorgeous! I found them on etsy.
Here's the birthday girl while we sang Happy Birthday to her.
It's hard to believe she is 6!
Here's the pretty pink and yellow layers of her cake.
We had time for Avery to open presents after we ate.
It was such a great day celebrating our Avery girl who we love dearly. It always makes my heart so happy to see a birthday party come together so beautifully and to see the smiles on all the kids faces. It's totally worth all the effort. Happy birthday Avery!!
