Halloween is my favorite day of the year. It's hard not being in a country that celebrates it but I do my best each year to help my Australian friends embrace it, just as much as I do.
For our 3rd, but not annual Halloween party, we decided to move away from the spooky and ghastly for a un-Halloween Party with an Alice in Wonderland theme. Guests were asked to dress in costumes "from their childhood" (cartoons, TV shows, movies, nursery rhymes, books, etc).
I had a hard time finding decorations so most of it was handmade by me!
 |
| The Queen: She likes 'em red wreaths |
 |
| White roses painted red |
 |
| Red Mexican paper flowers |
 |
| Quotes from Alice in Wonderland |
 |
| The Queens Card Soldiers |
 |
| "Fat boy" teapots (handpainted) and The Mad Hatter's Menu |
 |
| "Take Me" orange and black (chocolate) candy bar |
 |
| 'Eat Me' cupcakes |
Inspired by Eloise's pirate ship tent, our living room was decorated with a Peter Pan theme.
 |
| Peter Pan, Wendy and John flying |

| My pie felties were so fun to make! |
Litte Miss Muffett sat on the toilet...
We were The Mad Hatter, Queen of Hearts and Alice. I made the Queen of Hearts and Alice costumes. Adult tutu's are so fun!

| Our little Alice |
I was sad MissE missed out on going to a pumpkin patch, maybe next year... We found carving pumpkins at Woolworths but for $25 each! They discounted them to $12 on October 30 so we were able to have some pumpkin carving fun!

| What's in there? |
 |
| Eloise and her 'Daisy' (In the Night Garden) pumpkin and 'Itsy Bitsy' pumpkin |
