Here are a few things that were or were not photographed that I thought were oh-so-tres-chic. <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">1) Jessie&#8217;s mom created a little table with crystal dishes on it filled with colorful beads. Each of the girls made their very own necklaces. I created little signs for each color of beads that said things like: <br \/><strong><em>Aquarmarine<\/em><\/strong> <br \/><em>(That&#8217;s a fancy shade of blue!)<\/em> <br \/>or<br \/><em><strong>Buttercup<\/strong><br \/>(That&#8217;s a fancy way of saying yellow!)<\/em><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">The girls thought this was very grown up.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">2) Each girl got a little black favor purse filled with a mini nail polish and stick on earrings. I blinged out the handbags with tulle, stick on jewels, and a label that said <em>Merci Beaucoup. <\/em><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>3)<\/em> Jessie&#8217;s mom came up with the idea of having a banner that said <strong><em>Fancy Four!<\/em><\/strong> So we whipped one up and hung it with a boa.<em> <\/em><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">4)<em> <\/em>Due to peanut allergies of some of the pint-sized guests, Jessie&#8217;s mom kept the food easy. Instead of doing fancy cucumber sandwhiches which would have made three and four year olds tongue curl, she ordered pizza! I thought this was adorable because it was perfect for a little girl birthday and wasn&#8217;t trying so hard! The girls loved it.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/fancy-nancy-loralee-lewis-page1-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11514\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/fancy-nancy-loralee-lewis-page1-copy.jpg\" title=\"fancy nancy loralee lewis page1 copy\" width=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/fancy-nancy-loralee-lewis-page1-copy.jpg 941w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/fancy-nancy-loralee-lewis-page1-copy-287x300.jpg 287w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/fancy-nancy-loralee-lewis-page1-copy-768x803.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/fancy-nancy-loralee-lewis-page1-copy-810x847.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 565px) 100vw, 565px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">5) We blinged out the water bottles with glitz ribbon and stick on jewels telling the girls it was fresh spring water &#8211; which is fancier than water jsut from the tap.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">6) Ring pops were used as napkin rings!<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">7) I created oversized place cards for each girl with &#8220;fancy&#8221; by their name. This helped to eliminate fighting over seats! It&#8217;s funny how even at 3 and 4, girls love to know where they are sitting!<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/fancy-nancy-loralee-lewis-page2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11511\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/fancy-nancy-loralee-lewis-page2.jpg\" title=\"fancy nancy loralee lewis page2\" width=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/fancy-nancy-loralee-lewis-page2.jpg 941w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/fancy-nancy-loralee-lewis-page2-287x300.jpg 287w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/fancy-nancy-loralee-lewis-page2-768x803.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/fancy-nancy-loralee-lewis-page2-810x847.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 565px) 100vw, 565px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">And just in case you were worried about the succes of the event, here is a photo of my three-year-old Miss V in her car seat on the way home.
