an invitation to narnia

Flora's 6th birthday is coming up in March and I've been pressing her for the last couple of weeks to think of what she wants to do for her party. She has decided she wants a Narnia theme and is keen that I make her a Lucy Pevensie outfit.


I was quite excited about kitting her out in 40s clothes and knitting her an evacuee cardigan. But no, of course she wants to be Lucy the Valiant, Queen of Narnia complete with cape and potion.



I'm thinking snow-scene decorations and a cardboard lamp post. I'm going to order some latex horns for Steve, so he can be Mr Tumnus and probably a Snow Queen outfit for me.


I've also found lots of lovely inspiration over on Etsy
I'm a bit worried that Flora's friends might not be so enthusiastic about Narnia fancy dress as she is, but I will put a few suggestions on the invites - knights, lions, and, if in doubt, standard princesses wouldn't be out of place, would they?

Good job I've got 5 weeks or so to get organised!

PS updated to include the invitation I just designed...

    i think it sounds like a great idea, (the sort of thing George would love) it will work with the 'fairy tale' theme too so i'm sure most people will find something to come as!
