The party pics are here! April from Forever In A Moment took some beautiful shots and I am so excited to share this super fun party with you!
SO..Poupee Girl is a website created in Japan. Poupee (poo-pay) means "doll" in french. On the site you are given a Poupee, a cute dress up girl. You get to customize her coloring and her hairstyle. You are given a small wardrobe as well. Each day that you dress up your Poupee, you earn ribbons. Ribbons are Poupee Girl's currency. You can use your ribbons to purchase more virtual clothing and accessories for your Poupee. Speaking of accessories, Poupee girls love to accessorize! Now that you are more familiar with Poupee Girl, let me introduce you to my fabulous real-life fashionista sister in law Terri-Lynn...
Terri has been known to frequent the Poupee Girl site so a Poupee Girl party seemed like the perfect fit. Not to mention, what girl doesn't want a dress up party for her birthday??
We made sure all the guests knew to dress up and accessorize!!
I'm loving these paper button flowers that I first saw over at One Charming Party. I love how Brittany uses simplicity to make a huge statement. These are fun to make and so charming! The container at the bottom is a tin can with paper glued on it. I cut a small piece of floral foam for the bottom of the can and stuck the flowers in...easy-peasy!

Party napkins in all sizes! We asked the guests to bring an item from one of three categories:
-snacky (chips, dip, crackers..)
-hot (spanikopita, chicken wings...)
-fresh (fruit, veggies, salad..)
This worked really well. The food was awesome and we got a really wide variety. I am all for the potluck!!
We handed out tickets at the door and drew names for prizes. Initially we had thought about having awards for best outfits but everyone looked so great we just couldn't pick!
We set up a little photo shoot area and throughout the night each guest got their picture taken with the birthday girl...along with many many more shots...it was too fun! Here are a few faves...
The props were so Poupee and so fun!
Our birthday girl was the best prop!

There's me with Terri:)
Here is the party planning crew holding a bunch of the sweets from the sweets table. To see that you'll have to pop on over to Fig & Ruby Sweets!
We did not play games but we did have a jewelery exchange! Each guest brought accessories that they were done with and we gave them "ribbons" in exchange. We set the accessories up in the pink dollhouse and then opened up the Poupee Shop. Everyone enjoyed shopping for a few new things. This was a hit!

This theme was different and took some explaining but it turned out to be so cute and so unique and most of all it completely suited the birthday girl which is always the ultimate goal when planning a party!
Thanks for looking:)
As always, I am thrilled if you like my ideas enough to copy them...I am flattered really! I do want to know about it and enjoy your version so please share and link back!!
