{Featured Parties} Little Miss Homemaker Party

We were super excited when Donna of Party wishes contacted us to use our "Jane Baker" Collection. We could not wait to see it come to life. Donna created this adorable 1950's "Little Miss Homemaker" party for her daughter Sheridan's 11th birthday! It was a natural choice as she requested to bake and sew with a few of her close friends. :) We love all of the little details of this party. Donna matched up the colors beautifully with our collection. Read on for more details and images!

WOW...can you believe this was Donna's first attempt at a ruffle cake! Great job and the color is just gorgeous...check out the beautiful DIY cake bunting! Love it! Donna based her party around our Retro Jane Baker Collection, invitation pictured above (available here)...we created a custom banner to match along with party circles. Love the cupcake liner and coffee filter garlands, DIY party hats and milk bottles!

Guests signed a keepsake scrapbook page which included Sheridan's invitation. Donna does this each year for her daughter's birthday's...what a great tradition! Donna created custom aprons adorned with each child's name (tutorial here). The girls received little sewing kits (love how our party circles were carried throughout the party) and the girls made DIY rosette headbands...how cool is that?...what a great activity!

Next the girls MADE LIKE "Jane Baker" and created mini pies...don't they look delicious?!

Two beautiful ladies and one beautiful party! Happy Birthday Little Miss Sheridan...so glad we got to play a small role in your day! Fantastic job Donna!

{Parties} Eloise at the Plaza - Part 3 - The Spa, Party Fun & Emergency Hotel Kits

"The Package Room has all these packages in it and sometimes I have to help them lift those heavy boxes and look for small packages that might be for me ELOISE!"..."and Kleenex makes a very good hat!" LOL! Here are the remaining images of our Eloise at the Plaza Party...the girls day at the spa & packages that Eloise dearly loves like the Emergency hotel kits from the 1950's...my inspiration for one of the party favors. For Part 1 of our Eloise at the Plaza Party click here!  For Part 2 click here! For our Amy Atlas Eloise Guest Dessert Feature click here!

The guests hideout for the party adapted from "the lost and found" that Eloise likes to dress up in. This is where guests had a spa day where we let them do their "own" facials and manicures and even their own pink hair streaks...a la Eloise style! They played classic games like "snapping Skipperdee" (like hot potato...and they won their very own Skipperdee), pass the parcel (you know how Eloise loves parcels! Where they won custom Eloise Pillow cases, and Eloise at the plaza movies!) & they had a viewing of the Eloise at the Plaza Movie.

The Spa table included Strawberry Facial Masks, Manicure creams, nail polish, nail art stickers, tattoos, hair glitter and hair streaks, Eloise inspired towels, puffs and tiaras for dress up. Their Emergency Hotel kits (included boas, sunglasses, tattoos, nail polish, lipgloss smackers in pink and strawberry of course, and Do Not Disturb Eye Masks!), and their own purses with custom name tags filled with candy makeup. :)

{Parties} Eloise at the Plaza! Part 2 - Hotel Room Bedscape and Room Service!

Ooooooooo I absolutely love room service! They always know it's me and they say "Yes, Eloise?" And I always say "Hello, this is me ELOISE and would you kindly send one roast-beef bone, one raisin and seven spoons to the top floor and charge it please Thank you very much" :) You have to love Room service! Welcome to Part 2 of our Eloise at the Plaza Party! Here are the images of our Hotel Room Bedscape and Room Service! For Part 1 of our Eloise at the Plaza Party click here! For our Amy Atlas Eloise Guest Dessert Feature click here!

We transformed the dining area into a bed with an Eloise headboard from the book. The table was fitted out with bedding (pink of course) and a Room Service table at the foot.

Eloise and her headboard from the book. :)

Eloise and her self portrait. :)

Guest place settings.

Each guest had their very own place card/cupcake and stand.

Each place setting had a room service card so “hotel guests” could choose what they wanted, including croissants, mini waffles with sprinkles and whipped cream, chocolate covered strawberries, mini cinnamon rools, Strawberry milk and a buffet of cereal with pink marshmallows..

Mini waffles with custom toppers. :)

Each course of the breakfast Room service was set out here, on the folding Room Service Tray. :)

{Parties} Eloise at the Plaza! Part 1 - Dessert Table and Hotel Registration

I am Eloise. I am Six....Oooooooo I absolutely LOVE the Plaza! The words of a beloved childhood book very near and dear to the hearts of many. When I asked our very own precocious little girl named "Liberty" what she wanted as a theme for her 6th Birthday....there was no question what it would be...she simply replied  “I am six, I love The Plaza, I want an Eloise Party.”  Liberty was also named after the famous statue that resides in NYC and we adore the Big Apple and the Plaza...Like Liberty's namesake (FREE)...she is one free spirit and daily reminds me of the Eloise character. :)

So...there you have it our theme...I set the creative wheels in motion drawing large illustrations, hours of design, baking and creating up a storm...we had a fun Eloise party for Liberty and her favorite friends....OH and a tissue box makes a very good hat. LOL...and in the words of Eloise...OH MY LORD there's so much to do...Tomorrow I think I will pour a pitcher of water down the mail chute! teehee.....Ooooooooo I absolutely love the Plaza! ps...Thank the Lord we do not own a mail chute! ;) I hope you enjoy our images. :) For more images check out our Eloise Party Feature on AMY ATLAS EVENTS BLOG! For all of the images for our Eloise Party....click for Part 1- The Dessert Table, Part 2 - Room Service & Hotel Room Bedscape & Part 3 - The spa, Party fun & Emergency hotel kits.

Charge it! Famous words of Eloise! Guests received hotel room key cards/charge cards.  Guests went on a treasure hunt to find something they needed for their hotel stay...Slippers! They had to locate the slippers and match up their room number to the number on each pair! It was so much fun. The girls loved their slippers and got to take them home. :)

Many more images to come! Next up the hotel room bedscape/dining and Room service!
