Girl....you sure know how to rock a party!!!! I'm the daughter of a King and I wish someone would have thrown us a party like that at my Church when we were young girls. I just love the whole concept! As always Melanie....incredible job!!! xx :)
Love the decor. Looks so regal. Beautiful! Those cake pops are so cute. Love the activities for the girls. It wasn't the usual makeup and nails so I found this refreshing. I especially like the etiquette lessons. Brilliant! Great tip about the food for kids.
Stunning! So so beautiful! i have done some children's parties and I know the feeling of crying on the floor LOL but like you said, once you pull yourself together, you usually come up with something even better. These little girls are absolutely precious , their dresses are so pretty!! Thank you for sharing this. Love It!
You are such a blessing! All of your hard work putting this together really paid off. This turned out GORGEOUS!! My favorite detail are the floral carriage centerpieces....how royal is that. I remember catching a small glimpse of them on your Facebook Sneak Peek...was anxious to see a close-up. I am sure the girls will treasure this moment forever.
+Veri Keri ahhhhh thanks Keri!!!! And I forgot to tell you all about the treasure chest on the inside of the plates 😞😞😞😞.... Oh well, I guess it covers the majority of it.... So glad that you enjoyed it and the moms are telling me that they are still talking about it....
Beautiful event and beautiful girls!!! Your events are always so classic and well thought out. I know the girls had a great time. I would love to learn how to put on events like you!!! Beautiful!!!
You know..... I really don't have an answer for that.... It was truly a gift from God cultivated through trial and error..... Thanks so much and I am sooo happy to know that you enjoyed it 💖💖💖💖!!
As always, your events are AH-MAZING!! Details! Details! Details! I just love seeing your videos. Thanks for sharing Melanie! You are such an inspiration! Beautiful!
Thanks so much and I am sooo happy to know that you enjoyed it 💖💖💖💖!! I really wish that I had the time to share more details, however, time did not allow..... Thanks again!!!
How magnificent! Just great content and so inspiring. Fun and education without the children realizing it. I loved the pictures of all the little princesses. It's so refreshing to see a woman taking care of her community. I think I'm going to put this on my blog. Thank you for sharing.
I would be honored..... I truly love giving back to the community in this capacity.... It really fulfills me.... Thanks so much and I am sooo happy to know that you enjoyed it 💖💖💖💖!!
I guess I should give you the blog address, LOL www.angiesfrugalhouse.BlogSpot.com If you are uncomfortable with the address being here, please feel free to delete this post.
Love It...... Thanks for the ideas, I plan to do this in my area this summer. My only problem is finding a small venue that's nice. Again thanks for the inspiration.......
Awesome! So glad that you enjoyed it... My little nieces attended and they had a blast! Thanks so much for watching and I am sooo thrilled to know that you enjoyed it!
You are such a sweetheart. This was so nice. To me this was your best party hands down. Everything came together very well. You truly love the children. Great job! :-)
This was truly a "Fantasy" Royal Tea Party !.....Loved the Idea that you taught the girls to be Princesses, not just in looks, but in action too !.....Next is the Royal Knight Hood Party for the boys ? Blessings ~ Cissy
I just did an event and I use pink white and gold and it is for a teenage girl and those colors do look better together I love this channel always getting great tips and keeps me inspired
Hi sweetie beautiful decorating and gorgeous colors and styles and great job love love love love love it and I am really enjoyed watching this video on TH-cam channel and God bless you and your family my friend
Hi Melanie, this is Linda not Rob. Loved the tea party. You have inspired me to do one for the young girls in my community. I loved everything. It is so wonderful to see there is still others who know the value of mentoring young girls and boys. Loved the decorations...everything was lovely, just like you! Your outfit was very nice too! You will be blessed because you are a blessing to others.
Those filigree plates and gold leaf chargers really set the tone they're delicate and dainty I love it. The food and dessert perfect. You did such an awesome job.
Girl, I was in the zone of chic and then you say CHICKEN NUGGETS, SANDWICHES AND CHIPS!!!! I had to LOL on that one. This turned out absolutely beautiful. Indeed you have a gift to share with those around you!
Lol! I stay in the zone of chic, but the previous years made me cross over into the zone of common sense.... Lol! My husband and I find this event 100%.... I initially started out ordering super fancy tea foods for them and ended up trashing over $300 worth of food..... So now I introduce a little chic and a little classic and it works out for us all.... They get to enjoy foods that they love and I have the pleasure of introducing them to something new 💖....
So cute. I do decorations too.Here in my area people don't want to pay for this beautiful decoration. You have great customers. I'll be very thankful is you gime some tips to find people who pays this work because I really love it
You are correct and I thank God that He has blessed me with such an amazing group of clientele. Word of mouth has been the best form of business for me!
I love it. I have the photo backdrop you have behind the dessert table. my question is how did you drape it with fabric. I have used it with the backdrop that came with it, its just black its plain and ugly.
Love it! Every video I have seen for an event has turned out amazing. I love to decorate myself, but only for events for family members, only because I'm afraid of not doing a great job for others who are willing to pay. I would appreciate if you can tell me how or show a small video of how you attached the crown or any other prop to your backdrops? Thanks!
Hi Amanda... It depends on the prop that I am using... This one had hangers, but it is really T&E.... LOL! I thought that one thing was going to work and it didn't and so I ended up using the hangers that were already on the back and it worked out fine... Thanks so much for watching!
Beautiful! I feel sad that paper invites and handwritten letters are no longer popular. But I'm a diehard, so for a bridal shower I'm hosting I will be sending invites in the mail. Also my mother and I who live in different states still mail each other letters. 😉📬
+Sigourney Sneed I wish I could sew... Such an awesome talent to have... It depends on how tall your stand is... these would have touched the floor if I had hung them, however, I tossed them to the back and so they did not touch the floor...
I'm so jealous! I wish I could have been invited to A Princess tea party when I was young :'( So many lost opportunities, however I plan on throwing my sister A party before she gets too old for it.
Beautiful event, I am actually preparing to do a Women's Conference and wanted to know if you knew of a place I can get plate charges at a decent price.
I purchased the material from Hobby Lobby.... However, you could use any fabric store.... They also sell them online at line tablecloths.com if you would rather invest in professional ones.
Thinking of taking your advice and really starting something like this for my community. Any advice on how to get it started? I don’t want to just treat it like just another event but want it to be meaningful. Thanks Mel
