An American Girl Doll Party

Be a doll & bring one too! 
It's J's birthday & she wants to see you.

This past weekend was J's birthday party.  Since we're surprising her with a trip to the actual American Girl store in Chicago next week for her birthday, I thought it was fitting to have a doll themed party. 

I intended for the party to be small & simple.  Of course, I went above and beyond.  But hearing her tell me, "I'm so glad I had a party Mom.  It was SO much fun!"  made all the hard work worth it.

Warning: there will be picture overload.

This party was so much fun to plan.   From the tutus to the water bottle labels & cupcake toppers, it was probably my favorite party.     I intended on taking a picture of all of the girls with their dolls in party hats, but we were so distracted having a good time that I completely forgot until after everyone went home.

Wow...just wow.
What an amazing party!
But the loveliest detail in all of this is the smile on your sweet girl's face as she prepares to blow out her candles! Gorgeous!
