Birthday Season Part II

marshmallows and chocolate were delivered with the invite...

Lucy's invitation and her candy magic wands...

Birthdays are big at our house. But not every birthday brings a party. We do parties on odd numbered birthday years; and this is one of those years.

Since Lucy and Madi's big days are only one day apart, this month we will be hostessing two very different parties for two darling-ly different girls.

Lucy is turning 5. She is the last, and my last 'little girl'. She wants a fairy garden party. I want to revel in the 'little-girlness' of my last, so it will be enchanting. Invitations were purchased through the TomKat Studio; it all went well accept they didn't put the correct date on the invitation (I had had to change it, they said they would but didn't). Other than that glitch, I'm really happy with the product. You download, print and go. They ask for all the info. and then do it up right. We delivered each invite with a 'magic wand' filled with treats and tied with fairy-like ribbon. Pics of the party will come after party day this weekend.

Madi caught on to a fun and spunky idea; a 'Happy Camping' theme. Once again, we used TomKat, but not for the full invite. Instead we ordered 'cupcake toppers' which we will use in many different ways, for invites, for favor bags, and for a s'mores bar at the party. Ideas are brewing, and many girls are coming-so give me any thoughts on 'camping games' and favor ideas (I'm thinking dollar store flashlights and whistles, and of course a personalized marshmallow stick for roasting around the fire!). We will serve camping food in pie-tins for dinner, play camp-like games and hopefully (weather permitting!) watch a movie outside. IDEAS PLEASE! I could use them and fast...

its our own kind of 'March Madness', fun for me to plan and fun for the girls to enjoy!
