Child's Birthday Party Ideas

I have two daughters and every year they come up with fun ideas for their birthday parties. When my oldest turned 3 we did a "Cinderella Princess Birthday Party". My husband, prince that he is, made a pumpkin coach out of plywood and everything. We lived in a townhouse then and I blew up hundreds (ok, an exaggeration but it sure felt like it) of balloons in gold and silver that were all over the "ballroom" floor. The kids loved it. Simple, easy (well, maybe the pumpkin coach wasn't easy but you get the idea). We did a Winnie the Pooh Birthday party one year for my youngest daughter. Again, simple, a couple of games, cake and ice cream...lots of pictures and great memories.

I prefer parties that are in your home. A LOT less expensive and usually a lot easier. That's one of the reasons we started doing our animal stuffing business - and we love it. We also did several trips to the Build a Bear mall stores for parties. We had a blast, don't get me wrong- but we can't do cake and ice cream in a mall store! :-).

I had fun making up a little ebook on planning a child's birthday party. Email me if you want a copy!
