Today we were lucky enough to go to yet another birthday party. This one was organised for 11 children who have all turned two in the past month or so. Of course Ethan was very excited for another birthday party, and it's seems the perfect way to end our party season and move onto the Christmas season. Another excuse to celebrate our lovely little 2 year old boy, and great for Ethan's Personal, Social and Emotional Development to learn about sharing a celebration day with other children.
I was very excited to be given the job of organising the party bags, and we also brought the yogurt and berry muffins that we made yesterday to add to the huge amount of food that everyone else brought. The theme of the party was pirates, princesses, elves and fairies! I decided to just stick with pirates and princesses for the party bags and muffins. So I made a mini treasure chest for each birthday girl and boy and put them all in a big treasure chest (a cardboard box that I covered in brown paper and added tape and a lock and some gold tinsel to make it shine). I also had a cute little 'pirate' teddy for the two baby siblings :)

DeleteLove the idea of the treasure chests! Sounds like a fab party!
ReplyDeletethanks, it was really fun!
DeleteGreat idea! You are very creative.
ReplyDeleteI bet the children loved every second of it!
The kids were so happy to just run around, cake and party boxes at the end was the way to bribe them out of the party!
DeleteSounds like a great party! My Andy and Hannah have been invited to a few parties as of late, this past Saturday was a gymnastics party! It was a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteI Hope you have a great week,
Tammy
I have loved all the parties we've been to lately, it's such fun to go to all these different venues and see all the other creative Mummies fab ideas :)

ReplyDeletethanks :) and bring on the parties, I love them! (especially now that there's Pinterest for ideas!)

ReplyDeletethank you :)
DeleteThe thought of organising parties and bags always brings me out in a panic! But you have done well! Fab ideas
ReplyDeletethanks, it makes me panic too, but I really do love it :)
DeleteThat is an amazing idea - I have to admit I am bailing on the kids parties next year and letting someone else organise them. Too much hard work with a baby in tow
ReplyDeletethat's ok, you have to know your limits...to be honest I think most kids would be happy with a bit of cake and some toys, the rest is just extra :)
