It turned out to be really fun, but the best part was my hare-brained scheme to have my husband play the part of Agador Spartacus from the movie "The Birdcage". If you recall, Agador is the Guatamalan man-servant who falls down when he wears shoes. I figured if I was going to enjoy my outdoor teaparty I needed a waiter to fill up those tiny teacups. He also came in handy fishing the croquet ball out of the pool. Don't even ask what I had to promise to get him to do it...but isn't he cute!
The weather was perfect! Not too hot and not too windy.
We had rose-bouquet plates and napkins, pink iridescent tablecloths and genuine china teacups and saucers. My daughter made the Madhatter cake
Here's the bride-to-be in her wedding veil we made from feathers, netting and funny foam.
The winner of the Most Outrageously Mad Hat trophy
What would a Wonderland theme be without a game of croquet? We even had little pink flamingos on the course. The partygoers who "forgot" their hat were provided tiny tiaras to wear.

Sounds like fun - I LOVE the cake!
Very clever concept and great execution. I must have missed my invitation in the mail. Oh, and I think (in special tribute to Alice's white rabbit) it should be HARE-brained scheme. From a very smart hare, indeed!

Brincadeira em família!
