Helena recently turned seven years old!
We celebrated with an old-fashioned soda shop birthday party and it was so fun!
There's a local soda shop here called Fiiz that Helena loves to go to, so we decided to take some friends out for drinks and then watch a movie at our house. I even talked to one of the owners at Fiiz and she custom designed a special drink for Helena, called the Fairy Godmother.
To go along with the old fashioned soda shop theme, Helena wore a poodle skirt and we included some records in the decorations.
A few weeks before the party, we went to Fiiz and took this adorable picture...
... for the "album cover" for the record invitations. The information was on the back side of the record (cut out of sparkly black cardstock with a hole punched and white "glare" marks on the edges). We slid them into cardstock cd sleeves that I got at Walmart and finished by gluing the picture of Helena on the front. They turned out so cute!
The cupcakes were chocolate cherry Coke float cupcakes, complete with maraschino cherries and paper straws--yum! We got a couple of cheap records from DI to set them on.
I turned our black paper plates into faux records as well, with hand drawn holes and glare marks. A bunch of old soda bottles lined the pink polka dot runner.
The birthday girl eagerly awaiting the arrival of her friends! I even hung an old record on the front door to round out the theme!
And here she is with her pink cotton candy Italian Soda (ew), the Fairy Godmother. The girls had so much fun at Fiiz, and bonus,we filled up a whole punch card buying all their drinks!
Big thanks to Fiiz for their help with this super fun party for my special girl!
