Evan Lilly's 6th Fairy Birthday Party

Who knew it would be so hard to find fairy decorations for a little girl's birthday party?! Like they do not exist, but the party was a hit!! It was a beautiful day in Memphis, and the old fashioned backyard party turned out great!

We made it pretty simple with crafts, facepainting, pizza, and cake! My mom actually got Evan an extraction fairy kit for Christmas. Turns out it's great for group activities. It comes with 12 eggs and 12 chisel tools to extract the Fairy! I ordered another box and we had plenty for everyone. I wish I would have done a test run before, because they definitely take some adult help for this age. However, it was fun nonetheless! The kiddos who wanted a fairy were committed and got it out and those who lost interest moved on to another activity! Ha!

I also purchased little bird houses from Michaels for $1 each, and the guests painted and decorated "fairy houses!" Michaels also had a great deal on buckets of craft supplies for only $5!! I got 2 buckets of paints and a bucket of crayons that I sat on a table with fairy and pirate coloring sheets.
Crafts...... Check!!

We hired Fairies and Frogs to facepaint! I highly recommend them if you are local! They were fabulous to work with, super sweet, and did an amazing job!
Faceprint..... Check!

I set up a small table with a few snacks for the first hour of the party. I chose things that could be outside and easy to eat for the kids. We did fruit skewers, pretzels, iced animal cookies, and trail mix. I also set a bucket of bottled water out. After an hour into the party we brought out pizza and juice. You can get $6 medium sized pizzas from Papa Johns if you carry out. I threw out a bunch of blankets for the kiddos to sit on while they ate. They loved having a picnic!!
Snacks and Pizza........ Check!

Next was time to sing Happy Birthday and eat cake! Evan and I picked out a ready to buy Kroger cake, and honestly I think it was $12. I didn't hear one child complain!
Cake..... Check!

After cake, the kids ran and played and had the best time! I also bought hula hoops and chalk from the Dollar Tree to have some extra activities.

As for decorations, we kept it pretty simple with a photo booth, fresh flowers, and a couple decorations from Party City. I also purchased fairy wings from the Dollar Tree and pirate hats from Amazon.

This might be my most favorite party EVER for Evan Lilly! I didn't go too over the top with decorations, really tried to focus on it running smoothly, and the guests having loads of fun! I also really focused on a budget and not spending too much money. My only regret is I didn't get near as many pictures as planned!! Next year, I have got to remember to give someone that job. Overall, we had a blast and I hope everyone had as much fun as we did!!

XOXO,
