My Birthday! Alice in Wonderland

We start the year off by celebrating me becoming another year older. For my birthday i decided to have an Alice in Wonderland theme, and felt very lucky to have some great friends who came in fancy dress.
The main point of my birthday was to get together with my friends all at once, since i dont get to see them very often with us all having our own busy lives with work and kids.
For my table decorations I got a plastic white tablecloth to cover the table, and got some flower wrapping paper (i just liked the design on it) for a table runner. I had 3 red paper lanterns. I made 2 top hats (Mad Hatter) and had a buch of flowers that had eyes stuck on them coming out of one. I also bought some white roses and splattered red paint on them (Red queen making Alice paint her roses) which were arranged in painted tea cups. I also bought a deck of cards and put them around.


My cake was 3-tiers. the bottom purple with pink stripes to represent Cheshire, the middle was white with red and black hearts to represent the Red Queen, and the top was a top hat for Mad Hatter.
I made custard Tarts (with proper custard- not the packet kind), and cake pops (which fell apart- but still tasted great)
You dont have to decorate your whole house, you can just decorate a table. As long as you put in a little effort, people will be talking about it!
