About Mrs. Lace

I Love Johnny Depp

March 8th, 2010 @ 12:43 pm by Mrs. Lace

Okay, the title of this post has very little relevance to what this post is actually about, but I felt like I needed to proclaim this to the world. :)

Has anyone seen Alice in Wonderland yet? I’ll say it again, I love Johnny Depp and I think Helena Bonham Carter is such a good villain (wasn’t she an awesome Bellatrix LeStrange?). I’ve seen a couple of Alice in Wonderland inspired bridal showers and LOVED them. They’re so whimsical and fun.

I’m not planning any bridal showers soon, BUT every month my school takes turns doing “treats” for the entire staff. It’s usually good food and no decorations, but we wanted to do a little something that would spruce our drab workroom up a bit. February was my month, so the three teachers I was working with indulged me and threw a Valentine’s Day party with Alice in Wonderland inspired treats.

We had fondue, tea sandwiches, sparkling lemonade, hummus and pita chips, brownies, cake, veggies and dip, quiche, etc. It was DE-LISH. In the excitement of eating, I completely forgot to take pictures of the food. Here are a few personal photos of the tables. It’s definitely not anything fantastic since we did it in the workroom/teacher’s lounge, but it was fun anyway. Please excuse all of our supplies, photocopiers and butcher paper in the background.

Then, yesterday, while doing my regular perusing-of-the-blogs, I found these! I wish I threw a party like this!

OMG! I love those pictures you found! I am totally and completely obsessed with Alice in Wonderland!!

Also, small plug: if you haven’t seen “Alice” yet, you should rent or buy it! It’s a four hour movie/miniseries thing that SyFy ran a few months ago and I LOVE it- it’s sort of a spin-off of Alice in Wonderland with some modern/steampunkish tones to it!

An Alice and Wonderland theme would be so fun. I love that you turned the basic party into something special with a theme! I love any excuse for a theme party!

oooh I love it! lol I actually came to close to an alice in wonderland wedding. But we decided to go a different route…but maybe I can hint at an alice bridal shower? hehe

we were going to go see it this weekend but after the gym….waiting in line a few hours just didn’t seem worth……but! we’re going this week during the day sometimes….here’s hoping for shorter waits.

oh and I love Johnny Depp too. :-)

Nice use of your DIY flowers! I would love a shower based around the idea of handing down family traditions like tried and true recipes and handy family secret tips.

Just saw the 3d movie, and it is FAB! I loved the colors, though I’m not sure I’d see it in 3D again. I love what you did with what you had! Fun!

We actuall are having a Mad Hatter Tea Party for the shower my mom is throwing for me!!! For a couple months now she has been collecting tea cups and saucers from antique stores, flea markets, and people with them sitting around!! We have a beautiful collection of them that we will use for favors and everyone will have a different one. We are also planning to ask everyone to wear their ‘maddest hat.’ I can’t wait!
