Ballet party: the fun and friends

What do you do at a ballet party?

Dance, of course. 

 (Oh, and it's the sweetest thing to see a bunch of friends dance around a living room like they're all in Giselle or Swan Lake together!)

Play pass-the-dancey-parcel.

(unwrap the layer)

 (enjoy the sweet surprise and have a look at the ballet move)

(then practice it in front of your friends)

 Plenty of dressing up.

(I think the birthday girl had at least three costume changes!)

And lots of general be-cool-ness!

Hooray! Fun for all.

Ballet party: the frou frou and favours

the invitations

 (cardboard with a paper leotard, and a sewn on tulle tutu, with party details on the back)

  tulle pompoms hanging above the food table

 favour boxes (more on these in a later post)

with home made white chocolate ballet slippers inside!

Ballet party: the food

Delicious and pink!

Ballerina meringues

Pink and lemonade jelly cups

Ham heart sandwiches

Pink lemonade

Marshmallows and musk

As well as these strawberry milk whoopie pies (which were a major fail for us),

sausage rolls and cheerios.

  And of course the ballerina stage cake.
