Party Recap

It's the most fabulous party I've thrown yet! It's my daughter's first birthday party with the theme Sofia the First. I used a lot of purple colors in this party and incorporated my daughter's name to match the theme, hence, Zoe the First! Guests are requested to wear purple and kids age up to 8 yrs old are requested to wear their favorite princess and prince costume! The ballroom was decorated to appear to have royal banquet hall. The stage is smothered with everything princess! I made life-like standees of Zoe wearing Sofia princess gown that are spread all over the stage. A giant Zoe the First logo was suspended from the ceiling in the middle of the stage with 3 fairy plush dolls hanging at the bottom of it. Royal Prep Academy logo was also supersized and placed on the ceiling of each side of the Zoe the First Logo. Kids table for princesses and prince are decorated with their own photos placed in white photo frames studded with purple gem stones to personalize their assigned seats. The Sofia Plush doll riding on Minimus Horse plush hang from the ceiling and drop to about 5 inches off the table to serve as centerpiece as well as party favor for the princesses at the end of the party. I also made the table runner with the Sofia gown insignia using white felt fabric sewn onto the purple silk table runner. I also placed ceramic tea cup sets with cut-outs of the Royal Prep Academy logo pasted onto them. The banquet table was placed in the middle of the ballroom to add a festive royal banquet feast look. There's just too much party details I could go on forever! Overall, it was a lot of hard work and I couldn't have done without the support of my SoFam dream team (my family) and of course the strength and wisdom from the Lord God Almighty!
