Claire's Tangled Birthday Party!

Saturday was Claire's 5th birthday party. 

For her 4th birthday, she asked me for either a Candy Shoppe Party or a Tangled themed party.

We did the Candy Shoppe Party for her 4th because I really wanted to do that theme for my candy loving Claire, and I was also trying to avoid a Tangled Party.

I love the movie Tangled, but throwing "character" parties isn't my favorite.

(Kate had a Minine Mouse 3rd Birthday and a Cinderella 4th Birthday, so I was kinda over the whole character thing)

About a week after Claire's Candy Shoppe 4th Birthday Party, she told me that she couldn't wait for her 5th Birthday Party because it was definitely going to be a Tangled Party.

Sure enough, she has talked about it ever since, so I knew I had to follow through for her and throw her a Tangled Party that she had been talking about for over a year.

Invite that I made:

I decorated our front yard to make it look like a scene from Tangled.
I hung paper lanterns from the trees:

 I pinned a Wanted Flynn Rider sign to the tree:

As you entered our house, I had Tangled's braid (yellow crepe paper) coming out of the door and leading into my house:

The "hair" was strung throughout the downstairs:

 

 Aren't the tissue balls pretty? Kevin helped me make them. What a guy!

You know I love dessert tables. Because her party was 2-4, I just had snacks/desserts.

The backdrop to the dessert table was a sun bunting I made out of paper & a Snuggly Duckling sign.

My awesome Mother in Law made the cake:

I made cupcake toppers to go on the Puffs.

 

 

 

 My neighbor let me borrow 3 of her cast iron skillets. If you have seen the movie, you know that the frying pan is part of the movie!

Activities:

First thing the girls did when they got here, was pick a crown with Rapunzel hair.

The banner above the crowns said "Let Down your Hair"

 I had stickers/decorations for the girls to decorate their crowns:

I also had Rapunzel coloring pages for the girls to color:

I had chalk for the girls to chalk all over our patio:

 Since Rapunzel LOVES to paint & paints on her tower, I thought it would be fun to let the girls paint on the side of our house. I made a ton of my Sidewalk Chalk Paint, gave each girl a sponge paint brush & them paint our house.

The girls couldn't  believe we were letting them paint our house.  The paint chalk washes off, so this was so fun to let them do.

Then, it was time for the big surprise.....the main event of the party. 

Rapunzel herself!!!

You should have seen these little girls....they were speechless. It was precious.

Rapunzel read the Rapunzel story to the girls

She sang.

{Behind Rapunzel's chair, I made the paper bunting & it says, "Best Day Ever!"

She did some "magic" tricks:

Then, she did face painting for all the girls:

We sang & ate cake:

The favors were Watercolors for each of the girls, since Tangled loves to paint.

Having Tangled there was for sure the highlight of the party.

Such a fun, fun, afternoon.

Claire screamed after her party was over that "THIS WAS THE BEST DAY EVER! "

And, that's all I was hoping to hear!
