Karlie’s Paper Dolls Themed Party – 1st Birthday

One of my favorite childhood memories that I won’t forget was when I used to dress up some cut out figures with my cousins. They were colorful and lightweight yet very appealing. Yes folks! Paper dolls! Before there were Baby Alive and Barbie and Ken, there were paper dolls. It started in the 18th century and its popularity went on up to the early years of the 20th century. If you are one of the kids who experienced playing with paper dolls of your different favorite characters, you would wish that your kids would experience the same. That’s why we express our deepest gratitude to Kaye Garcia and Party Starters for doing an awesome collaboration to bring back paper dolls to life in Karlie’s birthday party. These snaps from Happy Folks Manila will surely bring us nostalgia!

Aren’t pink and purple just perfect together? There is no better way to make a full view as pretty as this than by these lovely paper lanterns and oh so chic vintage hanging lamp shades.
