My daughter-in-law Ashley created the most incredible party for our little one-year old. Devin was given a ‘honey-do list’, and together they made a very memorable event.
The celebration was centered in the theme of Alice In Wonderland and the Un – Birthday Party.
Oh, where to begin? Possibly by day dreaming of a far-away magical land, following a White Rabbit then slipping into his rabbit hole …….
An Alice in Wonderland Un-Birthday Party Theme
Let’s start with the costumes. Ashley was the Cheshire Cat, including the tail, lol. Of course we needed a White Rabbit and Alice as the star. Ashley made Alice’s little dress up for the occasion. Now we were ready to go into a World of Our Own.






The decorations made the party so incredibly festive and immediately took us all to Wonderland!
Notice behind the sign are hanging paper lanterns and tissue poms. Click HERE for directions to make your own poms.
Devin and Ashley also had the music from the movie Alice In Wonderland playing in the background during the party. One of the live dancing and talking flowers came to stay for the day.




The tablescape was amazing. Ashley attached thrift shop (check garage sales too) purchased random plates and tea cups with hot glue, to make tiers for the food and interest to the table.






Even gluing eyes on real flowers. We were ready for them to come to life and sing “The Golden Afternoon”.
Vases are so inexpensive from the Dollar Stores, garage sales and thrift stores.




The two drink dispensers were fun: one said had a sign “This will make you Larger” and the other, “This will make you Smaller”.
Tags on the squeeze-it punch bottles read, “Drink Me!”. She decorated the marshmallow krispy treats as the Card Soldiers. They were all ready for their game of crochet with the Queen of Hearts.
Small sacks were provided to put in your choice of candy from the jars such as: sixlets, bubble gum, marshmallows and other sweets all in coordinating colors of the party.

Recognize a blessing and be a blessing today
Carrie,
Tell Ashley, I said she gets my vote for MOM of the YEAR! These party decorations, snacks, and cake are amazing. Seriously, She is so creative. I know you family has done other amazing birthday parties like your pirate party, but this party ranks pretty high. Maybe, because I am a girl and can relate.
Anyway, I LOVE IT!
Blessings,
Diane Roark
Definitely loved this party theme. We went to a friend of Lily’s from dance class a few years back and her party was Alice in Wonderland themed, but nothing as elaborate as this. Seriously, you all outdid yourselves and so awesome!! 😉
Your family throws the best parties! I love the themed parties and they sure did it up right. Looks like fun!
