Well, somehow it happened.  My baby turned 5, and the Fancy Nancy soiree we planned went off without a hitch.  It was a splendid affair and relatively easy to pull off!  The girls were adorable, dressed to the nines, and everyone seemed to have a great time.  I’m sharing pictures, but I promise, the party looked much better in real life.

Table settings for each girl included a tiara (of course) and a “diamond” napkin ring.  We also put pink sugar on the rims of each glass (not shown).

Gift bags for each girl to make even fancier with stickers, markers, and glitter.

Decorating the gift bags with markers, stickers, and (of course) glitter.

We turned the mud room into a spa where each girl was treated to a manicure, thanks to my wonderful Mother in-law.

We had cupcakes and parfaits (that’s French for ice cream sundaes) for dessert.

The girls altogether – don’t they look tres chic?

And if that wasn’t enough, here’s the cake I made for the family party the next day.
