Today I am sharing the Etiquette lesson part of the party. When the young ladies arrived they were escorted to their table. I always assign a adult to each table and instruct them to try to get the girls talking to one another. The girls had never met their table companions but as resilient as children are the conversations began to flow.
The tables were covered with white tablecloths and we made sure to use child-sized teacups and saucers. Even the food prepared by our bakery was made with a smaller size and taste in mind, suitable for children.
My team and I arrived and began to set up. Everything came together very well and excitement started to fill the air! For the center table (which was the focal point) I made a tall flower topiary topped with tons of flowers, ivy, and ribbons. To make the table feel as if it filled the room, I tied ribbons from the top of the topiary and draped them to the chairs to give the look of a Maypole. The ribbon was then tied into bows and attached to each chair.
My trademark attorney contacted me a few weeks ago wanting to give his little girl a Princess Birthday tea party. Olive Ann will be tuning six and like many little girls her age Olive Ann loves princess “anything”. I was ecstatic and began to plan her royal birthday party that would make her princess for the day.
From time to time we are asked by our bakery clients to assemble gift baskets. Today I am sharing a basket we created for the Governor of North Carolina, who was visiting a public school in Rocky Mount, NC.
