bee turns four!

Our little girl turned four a few weeks ago and we wanted to throw a party to celebrate! Bee decided all on her own that she wanted a "flower party", and I quickly remembered this story we did at Martha Stewart Kids about making flowers out of tissue.

Pretty soon we had enough flowers to deliver to Bee's little playgroup and preschool friends, with a paper leaf that told them everything they needed to know. Instead of mailing these, I like going door to door with the kids and having them deliver their invitations themselves. Bee had a lot of fun running around with her paper bouquet.

Party details to follow.

This is the cutest, sweetest idea I've ever seen. Happy Birthday Bee!! What a great mommy she has :)

Great! My daughter wants a flower party too. We're throwing her party in 2 weeks and would love your ideas.

[Stacey]

Really sweet idea! Did it take very long to make the flowers?

[Tiffany]

Oh I love creative hand-delivered invitations like this! Thank you for sharing!

pity i don't have girls; i'd defently steal this idea...

These are very pretty. You've made them so neatly. I'm thinking even though I don't have children it would be lovely to make these and give them to friends. Thanks for sharing.

I so wish there were more moms like you in my area. How I would love to receive a handmade flower invitation for a child's birthday party just once instead of the store bought kind. Good for you, you always make the most tasteful and precious things.

Happy Birthday to B! Hope she had a good one and a delicious "Dzert".

This is an awesome idea! My son just turned 3 and we hand-delivered most of the invites. It is waaay better to do that! If I ever have a girl, I will definitely do this :) Thanks for sharing.

I've been looking in on your blog for a few months, but have yet to comment- your stuff is great and I always enjoy looking in on your space! I turned my blog private a month ago, but if you'd like to see it, let me know!

i love visiting your blog - you make me smile - we are a homemade valentine's family too - we have three years worth on the kitchen cupboard - we all make them (3 of us in our teeny,tiny family) and leave them on the kitchen table ... the flower invitations are charming

I'm having a flower-themed party for my girls in a couple of weeks (it was supposed to be tomorrow but we had to postpone it). I'm looking forward to seeing what you do.

What a darling way to send out invites! I bet she had a ball. Can't wait to see the full party details. Good luck with the planning and prep!
