Matching Dress Party

Remember this post when I mentioned something big happening?? I had a matching dress party last Saturday for a family in my Salem field. Last November this dear couple adopted 2 little girls....1 1/2 and 2 1/2 years old. They got them so quickly I wasn't able to have a "shower" or party before they arrived so I waited until the girls were secure with their new Mommy and Daddy. They have adjusted SOOOOO well!! All four of them are very happy!

Anyway, I asked the parents what the girls needed.....no toys, no books, but dresses! And the Mother likes to dress them alike, which quickly became the theme of the party "Matching Dresses". It was very fun to plan. I chose brown and pink as the decorating colors.

Preparing.....

Lots of supplies!

My two tireless helpers!!! They were troopers....decorating 72 dress cookies!

Some of the finished product. Notice the cookies beyond the frosted ones......at this point we were only 1/2 done!

Decorations

Front door entrance

The "Great Hall"

Back door

This is a terrible picture, but the best one I had of only the "clothesline." For part of the decorating, I hung brown and pink outfits in the window. There is a better picture below of the clothesline! :) Fun idea!

Napkins

Aren't these napkins just darling? I found them online....matching the party colors perfectly!

Dress Cookies

All 72 of the little dress cookies. They were a hit!!!!!!
