{real parties} Tea Party inspired by Ava's Tea Party

Remember the Ava's Tea party post from a little while back?

I had a reader, Cupkate's Designs & Events, who was so inspired & touched by the story behind Ava's Tea Party...

she decided to participate.

And boy did she ever.

You won't believe the beautiful outcome of it all...

But first, here's what she had to say:

"When I read about Ava's Tea Party after finding the link via Pen N Paper Flowers, I knew it would be the perfect event to help launch CupKate's Event Design. A meaningful, happy day to celebrate the little spirits that we love so dearly. Using the artwork from the Ava's Tea Party website and many of the fabulous details from Pen N Paper Flowers' "Sunshine and Lemonade" as my inspiration, below is my take on a beautiful tea at the park."

Ok...are you ready?

Here are some of my favorite elements from the party...

Everything turned out simply darling...

• the tutu covered bench

• the ribbon printed "pinkies out" straw tags

• the cupcakes in teacups

• the use of the oversized wrought iron chair

• the kids with frosting all over their faces...LOVE it!

Thanks so much Cupkate's Events & Designs for sending me these photos!

What a beautiful and memorable way to launch the start of your new business endeavor!!

Be sure to check out her site for more details!

Did anyone else have their own Ava's Tea Party?

I'd love to hear all about it if you did. (even if it was a simple gathering with no pictures) *wink*

Happy Tuesday!
