Masquerade Tea Party!

My mom and I both love a good tea party, a pretty tablescape, and a memory made.  I had the thought to have a Masquerade Tea Party with Madi, some of my girlfriends, and their little girls.  I asked my mom if she would be willing to host it and she loved the idea!  So she and her friend Linda (Nana to one of the little girls who came)  hosted the most lovely Masquerade Tea Party for us Friday after school!  It was the perfect way to spend a rainy Friday afternoon before Halloween!


The table was so festive!



The masks were plentiful...




Each little guest even got one in a special box of treats!



We had fruit, caramel apples, bite-sized pigs in a blanket.



And of course, cupcakes!



Pretzels were served in a masquerade dressed bowl...




The older girls were served hot caramel apple cider topped with whipped cream!  Mmmmm!!



The little girls had apple juice in their teacups.




I read the girls a Fancy Nancy Halloween story...




Then they used the stickers in the book to make a costume for Fancy Nancy.




Each little girl got to decorate her own mask.  I had found the masks for 49 cents each at Michael's and simply painted dowel rods gold and super glued them to the masks.


The finished products were divine!!  I love their creativity!



Of course, the older girls had to have a little masquerade fun as well!



Miss Linda, my grandma, and my mom joined in too!


It was such a treat that we moms decided we could get used to being served tea with our daughters every Friday afternoon!  :)



Thanks, Mom for making life special and grand! 

It was a Masquerade Tea Party to remember!
