A Mother and Daughter's Letters to Santa Brunch!

This year I decided to throw my little snow bunny a Mother and Daughter "Letters to Santa" brunch. I also thought it would be sweet to invite the other little girls she is close friends with and their mothers as a nice late morning/early afternoon gathering.

I found a cute little white metal mailbox from Oriental Trading Company and created the cutest little invitations that looked like postcards! The printable can be found here. The color theme was white, red, and blue with pine and brown paper accents. I found these gorgeous letters to Santa place mats from Pottery Barn and thought they would go perfectly with the theme for the party! This is why I love to plan ahead! Ha!

So, we decorated the table with brown paper and used stamps to stamp cute decorations all over it in red and black ink. Kayleigh had a blast making the table cover. We had brown paper packages with ribbon and string for decorations and used the sparkling white snow globe that I had from the North Pole Party last year as part of the décor too. I used my little white tabletop tree and printed out the cutest "Dear Santa" letterhead! The kids took turns at the letter station writing their letters to Santa and had fun with the "Reindeer Games" that were set up to play with.










As favors, I made little elves for the kids to take home. I made little name tags featuring names of elves for the kids to chose from when they arrived at our "Elf Adoption Center" such as Icicle, Candy Cane, Sprinkles, Snowflake, Peppermint, Elfie, Lucky, Kringle, Elfie, Sparkle, Creampuff, Blizzard, Rice Krispie, Jolly, Jack, Chip, and Jingle. You can find this printable here.

I made the elves using a pattern that I found on craftsy.com and they came out amazing! Kayleigh chose hers right away and each child received an Adoption Certificate with their little elf. These were the favors at our little party. Little packages of "Elf Pillows" were there to take with the little elves.









This is a picture of the Elf Adoption Certificate! It came out really cute. 

You can find a printable located here. As with all available printables, please remember to cite where it came from (Me!) Thanks. In addition to the elves, each child was given an "Elf Care Package" complete with packets of Elf Pillows and Magic Candy Cane Seeds. The printables can be found by clicking the link!

We also had plenty of goodies and a cookie decorating station too! What yummy creations!






Here are some of the pictures from the party! Enjoy!
