Ella had her 8th birthday party last Saturday and the theme was American Girl tea party! We had 14 girls here, and they all were asked to bring their doll! So fun!
I made this “photo booth” for the girls each to pose in as dolls!
Big sister, Rilyn!
I also used old American Girl boxes and Ella’s picture in one, as decorations along with the magazine pages to decorate our cupboards! To seat all 14 dolls, I duct taped bandanas to the counter, and they worked great as “seats”!

Ella and “Sophie”. I bought doll party goods at Michaels!
Grandma and Ella (with a photo bomb by James!)
Look at that cute cake my friend made her! Designed to look like an American Girl box!
It’s a tea party! I wrapped tulle around the chairs to make it more “fancy!”
All of the special guests waiting to eat! Their owners were busy making the party food for them!
I bought Sculpey clay, and the first thing the girls did at the party was make party food for their dolls! AFter they made donuts, cupcakes, cake, etc. we put them in the oven to bake during the party! 🙂
baking the doll desserts!
Next, the girls got their own doll dress to fabric paint! My sister in law sewed all of these for Ella’s party!
The girls then played American Girl Bingo using candy as place markers! Click the picture for the link to the free printables!
The doll desserts came out of the oven and were ready for the dolls to eat!
That means it was time for the big girls tea party!
Happy Birthday to Ella, happy birthday to you! Notice the pink flames on the candles!
Make a wish!
Yummy pink tea (punch)!

present time! Ella got Olaf, from Frozen. Can you tell she’s excited?!
Ella hugged each friend after she opened their present! So sweet!
Love this girl so much! My cuddlebug!
We ran out of time (our party was 2 hours), but I also had bought lots of duct tape so the girls could make their own dresses. See the easy instructions here.
Ella had a few girls stay and sleep over, so they got to make the duct tape dresses!
