Ava's "Fairy Land" Birthday Party!

As our daughter, Ava, neared her 3rd birthday party she thankfully, did not leave the theme up to me. She was very certain that she wanted a fairy party! We all know this makes it easier on Mommy, so I was thrilled! Approximately one month before her party we began putting together all our ideas and slowly searching for things until they all fell together for her "magical" day.
Fairy Party
 I knew that was just what I wanted the day to be for her, magical! I wanted to take her idea of fairies but make her feel as if she was part of their magical world. I am truly milking the stage that she is at and the innocence of her running around each day exclaiming "Look, Mommy--I'm FLYINGGG", because I know the day will come where she will sadly grow out of the magical land that she lives in today.

This party was very special to me as quite a lot of it was a collaboration of my husband and I's DIY work. The "fairy door" in the center was built from wood by my husband, then I finished it off with a fresh coat of paint, a cute moss trim, and a little brass door knocker. The tiered cupcake stands, welcome sign, and vases were a few of our other projects completed for the party! Please message me for any further details as I did  not put up full tutorials!
