Some easy inexpensive crafts.....get some pastel pink paper napkins.....fold like fans.....paper cups...or clear with pink drinks.

Pretty pink pin-wheels made out of pink wrapping paper (use pink straws for stems) Easy to make....put one at eat place setting.....or in a 'boquet' in the table centre.

Scatter fake pink flowers around the table (from the Buck Store) Actually, almost all of this stuff is available at the buck stores.

Put on invitation that you would like everyone to wear pink.

And a pink flask......for mom.

P.C. have you done one of these before?

)))

P.C. · Jul 02 08 12:38

lol.....one or two.

Sportsdude · Jul 02 08 01:04

lol cute.

I don't think I had any theme parties. Usually we just went to Chuck E Cheese's.

Here are some of my ideas..not sure if you need ideas for games or decorations but will include them here anyways. When is the party? Is it at your own home?

Maybe have these girls dress up in their favorite princess character? (I'm not sure if this is doable if parents have to spend money on this). Or have them come dressed in pink (or pink and white...)

Get some pink and white helium balloons. You could rent the helium tank or get the balloons blown up at the Dollar Store.

Put on some pink nail polish on the girls.

Pink and white streamers. (I think pink and white go well together for a princess theme party)

You could get some bigger-sized beads together and have the girls make their own necklaces or bracelets.

Have them bake some muffins with pink icing and sprinkles and they can take them home.

I like the beads idea purelife. I thought of the pink nail polish thing too, but then I thought......nail-polish and 4 year olds.....

Sportsdude · Jul 02 08 03:54

Just have a party with P.C's pink stuff, I don't think you need to have kids dressed up.

It's not fun for the kids or the moms to have organized 'games'. Simple crafts or cookie decorating is more interactive and less structured for them.

A big laundry basket in the center of the lawn, to be a 'bubble catcher' is a good 'game' for wee ones. Get the kids to form a big circle around the basket (and here's where your bubbles party favour comes in)....get them to 'try' to get 5 bubbles to land in the basket. Of course there will be so many bubbles, all the kids win. Might as well sing a few rounds of ring around the rosie while you're at it. (stretches it out for a while.....lol.....and prizes for all)

Sportsdude · Jul 02 08 05:07

Bubbles! of course.
Gosh I forget what you do for the boys. All I can remember is running around in the yard getting into to stuff with my friends. lol playing wiffle ball. or some type of catch or we went to the pool.

Lise · Jul 02 08 08:08

Oh wow! Thanks you guys! That's a lotta great ideas!!!

PC - ever consider being a party planner? You sure have some neat ideas!

P.C. · Jul 02 08 08:20

Just remember, Dollar Giant is your friend.

(never had those when my kids were little) Stickers, beads, bags, tissues, forks/spoons/plates/cups/napkins.....they got it all. Keep it simple and soft.[img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/c020.gif[/img]

*writes this down in earnest*

How about a tea party for eats?
Little finger sandwiches with the mini cupcakes and cookies?
One of my friends did this- she bought some fancy looking tea cups and saucers (from Value Village) and served the girls drinks in their cups. They got to take home their own tea cups.

Love it Lil Me. Imagination and inventiveness (?) is even cheaper than the Buck store.
