Kaylees birthday part 2- TANGLED

Kaylee LOVES the movie, Tangled!  So we just HAD to do a Tangled themed party!  Which I was really excited about.  There was not much online yet, so I had to get creative.  I have heard that the invitation really sets the tone of the party.  So, I saw an idea online, that I liked and I wanted to tweek it a bit to be more fitting!  Here is the invite:
 I tried to make it look like a tower... 
 Thanks to my friend Anne, she really helped me with the photoshop inside...
The back we put the Tangled sun medallion on it.  I also couldn't resist calling myself, "queen Karen"  ha ha.
Here are the decorations:
 The front door!  Kaylee and I braided this hair for about an HOUR!  Geesh... that was hard work!  But fun accent!
 Of course we had to have Rapunzel's hair ALL over the house!
 I printed off these banners at my new fave. copy place in American Fork, ut.  "Copy That" right by Hobby Lobby.
 When the kids arrived, they go to follow Rapunzel's hair in the house and it led you to the spot you drop your presents off, and then it KEPT going through the house and outside to a Princess Bouncy Castle!  That was a major hit!  I highly recommend the company- Jump For Joy.
 Kaylee begged me to make her a yard sign.  So, I tried to do my best last minute.
 I borrowed Rod Iron frying pans (Rapunzels weapon of choice) and used them as center pieces.











For the cake, I recreated the lake scene.  I only had about an hour to frost it, but I think it turned out well... I did a 3 layer cake, chocolate, strawberry, and then chocolate.  I put cupcake bushes around the lake. 

My friend Cheryl was in town so she helped me frost the left over cupcakes with the blueish-purple color, and I piped out yellow hair on them.  ha ha
 Here is part of the party crew.  We had 16 kids here!  wowsas!
 Princess Kaylee with her favorite part- the Bouncy Castle!
 They stopped to pose for all of 5 seconds before they started giggling and bouncing again!
 My fave. part was when we did the dancing scene from the movie!  Kyle had our sound system set up... (if you look closely, you can see all of the big speakers and monitors!  I even had a microphone to teach the dance!)
 Kaylee and Laynee danced in the middle of the circle and everyone had a great time!
 Kaylee making her wish... I just loved this pic of her.
 Dad and baby brother were here too.  So, was I but, of course I was taking all of the pics.  So i wasn't in any of them.  ha ha
 The party after present time, posing for the camera!  What a little cheesy group of kids!  ha ha  Love them!
 As favors, Kaylee and I thought it would be appropriate to give out a paint set.  Since Rapunzel LOVED to paint!  I tied some hair to it too. 
And everyone got to pick out some Tangled candy from the big frying pan! 
All in all, I think the kids had a fun time.  I KNOW Kaylee did!  I sure love her!
Happy 6th Birthday my little sweetie!  And thanks to all who helped me out one way or another with this party!  (Kyle, Shelley, Cheryl, Stacy, Shari, Jen, and Sarah etc...)
