Cousins Abby Smith and Arianna Morris attended the Princess Tea in their satin and flowered dresses, excited to spend the day together.

Vera Thomas checked names as guests arrived at the Princess Tea on Saturday. Reservations were required, and planners track numbers in anticipation of next year's event.

Gay Bowen made a Rapunzel cake to match her table's theme, featuring the storybook character and heroine from the recent movie "Tangled."

As a centerpiece for her table and a complement to Gay Bowen's cake, Julie Atwood built a tower with Rapunzel peering out the window. Julie has four children and said there is always something "crafty" going on at their house.

Hannah Crider dressed as Snow White, creating a good image that included a pair of slippers and headscarf.

White ostrich feathers and contrasting Harlequin masks with sparkles made quite a statement, especially when reflected by one of the costumes.

Pirate princesses Lorraine Allen and Rebekah Crider were originators of their table's theme and decorations. Shiny baubles and jewelry expressed the event's overall theme, "Find Your Sparkle." Rebekah made the PowerPoint presentation that played as background for the after-lunch program.

Girls and their moms, grandmothers, aunts and cousins filled 15 tables in the Lincoln Christian Church Fellowship Center.
