Breakfast at Tiffany's Party {and a Tiffany & Co. Giveaway, Dahlings}



If you're a regular around here, you know it's no secret that I adore Tiffany & Co.
And old movies.
And well, Audrey Hepburn movies.
I usually make my profile pic on FB this:


...for the entire month of October.


My daughter didn't want to have a 13th birthday party, but instead, she asked if she could have a tiny get together and just hang out. I was relieved that she just wanted to have something small and no fuss. And then, 2 days before the date of the sleepover, she came into my room and said, "Mom, are we going to have anything planned for Friday night? Do you think we could watch Audrey Hepburn movies and do our nails? Can it sort of still be a PARTY?"

UGH. Begrudgingly, I agreed.
And then, I thought, "YOU BET".  Audrey Hepburn movies it is!!!
Because any girl would KILL for an excuse to have an 
AUDREY HEPBURN PARTY, right?
And all of a sudden ...well...it started taking shape.
Because when you stop and think about it, 
a BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S PARTY 
is pretty easy to pull together, seriously!

I hopped on Pinterest and found that this isn't an original idea.
I've scoured Pinterest in search of the best B@T Party ideas and here are my favorites:
There's this:
Audrey Hepburn Party
Two Prince Bakery/Bird's Party Magazine

and this:
An Audrey Hepburn Invitation and Miss Mustard Seed by Dear Lillie
Dear Lillie
and this:
Breakfast at Tiffany's Bridal Shower - TIFFANY & CO
Catch My Party(Party Company which has an entire page of Tiffany Parties).

...and that was enough for me to figure out a mini Tiffany's Soiree for my new 13 year old!

With this theme, you could get as out of control/huge budget/major blow out as you can possibly get.
I kept my budget to $35 for this party of 4 guests and used what I had.
I used SPOTIFY for the music. They have a Breakfast at Tiffany's Station, that is mostly Henry Mancini Music and it added the PERFECT TOUCH to the party. There was spontaneous dancing. 

Here's how it went down.




















Simple Sources:

Crowns- $Store
Glasses - $ Store
Lipstick - Walgreen's
Coffee Cups and Lids - Free from local coffee shop :)
Black and White Stripe Straws - Party Supply $2.49
Balloons and Candy - Party Supply
Cupcakes - Sweet Tooth Fairy 
White Pastry Bag (Pastry and Macaroons) - Bake 360 
Martinelli's Cider Mini Bottles - Grocery Store 
Ribbons, Pearl Necklaces, Tiffany Bag, Boxes- My Own

What I'd do differently:
1. If I had more time to look for fabric, I would have had a nicer table cloth, but the $1.99 one from the party supply store worked just fine. Especially if we had actually done nails.

2. I would have made eye masks for party favors.

3. I would have made fun print outs of

So, that's a wrap on this mini- party.

Want to have a little Tiffany & Co. for yourself?

XXXOOO,
