Castle Party

How to throw a castle party!


1. Invitations!

I drew this castle up on the computer, and let Avery pick the colours. Then I ordered 5x7 prints of them, cut the doors so that you could open them to see Avery’s smiling face inside, then glued the invitation onto the back. They were super cute!

2. Decorations! Streamers, castles on the wall, hearts, pink, purple, red!

Who is that up in the castle tower….?

 

Balloons, streamers and a royal red carpet leading to the front door. Streamers to make a prettier backdrop to the dining room than the kitchen!

Lots of pink hearts all over the walls! Also, lots of presents from her friends. The tree house was an AMAZING homemade gift from her friend Hannah, complete with little wooden peg people to play in it!

3. Castle cake!

 

Ultimate chocolate chip chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting. Yum!

4. Food! High Tea nibbles

Sausage rolls, tuna and cucumber sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches, jam tarts, cupcakes. And fresh lemonade. (Except for the birthday girl who doesn’t like anything except water, apple juice, milk, or chocolate milk)

5. A couple of cute and fun crafts!

 

Gold crowns for all the princes and princesses.

 

Castle key chains/backpack tags.

6. The ultimate kid’s birthday party game: Pass the parcel.

Working for her candy – each layer had a “challenge” to complete before you could eat your treat. Super challenging stuff, like singing the alphabet song, making a funny face, or clapping your hands 10 times.

7. Refresh and Replenish!

All those cute little jam tarts, sandwiches, sausage rolls, cupcakes, and lemonade disappeared in no time flat!

8. Presents!

 

I barely got a look in as Avery was surrounded by eager helpers as she unwrapped her gifts! I really have no idea who gave her what for the most part…. sorry about that!

9. Birthday song, wish, and blowing out of the candles!

10. Eat cake and ice cream!

Avery chose the bottom part of one of the front turrets, with the heart window.

Yummy!
