If you’re turning 30, like my friend Angie did recently, you ought to accept the fact that you’re an adult and have a party involving cheese, wine and chats about insurance. Or….hire a hall and hold a fancy dress competition in the style of Alice in Wonderland/Victorian, and top if off with a visit to a shisha cafe the next day:
Madeleine Swann 
That’s a refreshingly different twist on a theme party. 🙂
Yes it was good!
What a fabulous party! My son has just been in a play which was inspired by Alice in Wonderland, perhaps I’m getting Alice in Wonderland messages from the universe – who knows?
It was a lot of fun, and proves fancy dress is for all ages
Yes, I always find that people relax earlier at fancy dress parties.
The whole awkward formal stage kind of falls by the wayside
