Ella's Ballerina Birthday Party

We had so much fun celebrating our four-year-old at her pink and glittery gold ballet party!  If you know Ella, you know she is ALL girl and LOVES dancing, so this frilly, pink, glittery party was definitely all about her.  She was very firm on knowing what kind of party she wanted this year and it was so fun having her in on all the planning and details.  We held her party at IDT and her beloved dance teacher from last year, Miss Shannon, graciously agreed to host the party and do a dance class with the little girls.

We set the tone of the party with these pink and gold invitations designed by the amazing Nellie Design.  Nellie was so wonderful in customizing the invitations and all the printables after I told her the theme and color scheme.






A few family pictures at home with the birthday girl...







My wonderful friend Brooke took most of the party pictures - she has such a beautiful way of capturing precious little moments! Thanks so much Brookers!

So many cute pictures of these little dancers...prepare for picture overload!








































Happy 4th birthday Ella Grace! We love you!
