Listen, we did the Perfectly Princess Tea party last Wednesday--- me, DD 5, Grandma, DNiece 5, SIL. 5 OF US. The cost was astronomical. When it was over we all looked at each other and declared it was WORTH. EVERY. PENNY. If you can swing it, do it. If I were home I'd add pics. I'll try to remember to come back and show you some. The doll alone is probably worth at least $100.
