Nina's 11th Glam Party!

So here we are, at the end of another month!
Another party came, and went.
Nina's 11th Birthday was a HUGE success!
This was such a fun party to plan ~
I really enjoyed all the projects that led up to her big night!

Nina had 19 fabulous little ladies attend her party!
They danced, giggled, and slept out in tents, in the backyard.
It was a great night, and Nina had the best time!
I was exhausted, but all that was pushed aside when she told me that
her friends were talking about how fabulous her party was, for days!

Just to recap from a previous post...
This was her Birthday party invitation - so glam!
All of her little friends were SO excited when they received them!


I did a mini photo shoot before her party.
The pictures turned out SO fabulous!
A few were displayed, in black & white, on her party table.



Remember that old chandelier I had in a previous post?
Well, here is a picture of the finished product! 
I was so pleased with my project ~ black spray paint, zebra duck tape, 
and feathers transformed this trash, into a treasure.
Nina loved it so much, that we're hanging it in her bedroom!


This 3 way mirror completed the glam patio. I knew the girls would love it!
This mirror is from Nina's room. I found it at a yard sale for $10
{I couldn't pass it up!}
It came in very handy for her glam party!


Look at this fabulous cupcake holder! I thought this looked oh-so-glam.
It displayed Nina's cupcakes beautifully!
Thank you for letting me borrow this, Arlene : )


I also added a few candle pillars, that served as cupcake stands.
I hand painted them black, and added pearls & ribbon.
Super cute, don't you think?!
All the cupcake toppers were custom made by me.



I made some water bottle labels.
They just make a plain bottle of water look, well... fabulous!
Liquid glitter for the girlies to drink.



We ordered these beautiful custom cookies from Sugar Expressions 
{You really need to check them out}
Let me just say, they did an amazing job!
Nina had the best time picking out what she wanted.
Nina played an active role in designing her cookies during the consultation.
Sadly, my pictures don't do them any justice!
They wrapped each cookie in a celo bag w/ribbon, and a cute tag!



Here is Nina's dessert table!
Everything was fabulously displayed on 
the old painted hutch that I transformed a few weeks prior!


These are the glam baskets that were waiting for each girl!
They loved them!
The glow bracelets came in handy that night.
I also created the name tags for each guest!


I had a mini glam station set up for the girlies ~
Complete w/nail polish, make up, mirrors, and make up remover.


The party guests had LOTS of fun getting glammed out!
Here they're putting on make up, and nail polish ~
They were all getting ready for the dance party!


Here's a picture of my glammed out patio before the guests arrived!
I got so many compliments on the transformation!
All the girlies were in awe as they walked into Nina's glam lounge!


At the drink station, there were plastic martini glasses set out for them.
The had fun drinking orange soda & punch.
I was careful to not serve anything with caffeine!


Here's a group shot of some of the party guests.
All of them were such a joy to have!
They loved to giggle & dance.



After dinner {Nina had a taco bar & pizza} the girls went night swimming!
It took several of them a while to feel safe in the pool.
They were convinced that sharks were swimming in there!


When they were done swimming, they feasted a bit more on popcorn & candy,
and then picked their spots for an outdoor movie!
We set up the projector for the girls - they loved it!
I hope you enjoyed reading about Nina's glam party, 
half as much as I loved planning it!
...until my next event : )
