Natalie and Nichole's sweet 16 party! Alice in Wonderland murder mystery dinner. The details.....

The girls sweet 16 party was a hit.  But before I get into the actual party I wanted to show the details of what went into it.
 The girls sent out their invitations for the party about 2 weeks before the actual party day.  We printed off the invitation with the character synopsis and party information on it.  Complete with a "N" wax seal.

 The Table was set in Black, White, and Red with a hodgepodge of tea cups for everyone to drink out of.  There was also cards, and photo booth props going down the middle of the table.
 I made place mats for each person out of red felt.  I printed off a menu of our dinner then glued it to a paper bag that I decorated with a card and black and white doily.  Inside the bag I put red silverware and a polka dot napkin.



 I set up a table with giant "N"s on it with sharpies for the girls friends to write a sweet message for the girls on.  It was later hung up in their bedrooms.

I hung keys from the chandelier in the kitchen and teacups from the guardrails of the stairs.
I but together a dessert table for the girls with some of their favorite foods on it.  I wanted to make desserts in varying sizes.

 I had a girl I know make this adorable custom cake for the girls!
This was a mad hatter hat.  I took a marshmallow and chocolate glued it onto an oreo and then dipped the whole thing in chocolate.  I then took red chocolate and traced a rim around the hat.
 I put together an Italian Soda  bar with tons of delicious flavors to mix together.
 I dipped twinkies in white chocolate and then drizzled purple and pink chocolate over the top.  I added candy eyes to try to make the twinkies look like the Cheshire cat.

 There were mini pecan pies and red velvet cupcakes to snack on.
 I also dipped apples in caramel.  They didn't turn out looking pretty but they tasted really good.




 As a goody bag I made these boxes and added the little hats that I made in them.  The party turned out great mostly thanks in part to Pinterest,  Ok not in part entirely thanks to pinterest.
