This week I have been getting my youngest daughter's 6th birthday party ready.
My kids don't have a birthday every year with friends.
We normally go out as a family and have dinner.
But on their 5th/6th (preschool year), 10th, 15th and 18th they have a choice of having a party with friends and where and theme.
So she has decided to have a priness party at home.
I have been stocking up on things over the last month. Mainly from KMART, how I love it there, I did start last month, as if you don't get things when you see them they might not be there next time you go.
I store all the items in a spare bag, that sits up the very top of the WIR on my husbands side, I can just reach it.
I sit down with a piece of paper and write down what food I want to eat & games I want to play.
Then as I buy stuff I write it down, so I know what I have and I don't double up.
Party food is just going to be the usual, sausage rolls, meat pies, triangles, mini hot dogs, hundreds & thousands biscuits, punch, water, fruit platter. And just a cob loaf dip for the adults.
Having a princess party is easy, I did buy girl and boy things and then unisex.
Games are musical cushions, with a prize of a frozen mirror.
Pass the parcel, prize is pink kinetic sand. with a small wand in between layers.
Put the jewellery on the princess, prize is bead making set.
Pinata, with lollies, which also means I don't have to put a lolly bag together.
Musical statues, with pink goo as a prize.
Of course all decorations are princess related, I did get the boys a blue hat to wear. At kmart they had party packs with plates, cups, napkins and loot bags.
Princess hanging, happy birthday bunting (with crowns on either end)
I do the food shop the day before, so all the fruit is fresh. And also check that we have everything, especially toilet paper!!!!

 prize's  decorations, hats etc |  take home gifts  piñata lollies |
 all stored in bag |  love this pinata |
I love having a theme, just makes it easier.
Over the years I have done monster high, Halloween, at a pool, at a play centre, karaoke......
For the gifts to take home I always have something different, instead of just crap toys & lollies.
Examples are, pencil cases (in theme) filled with the piñata lollies, lip gloss, crazy string.
make up in a small bag (if it's all girl's) or put in cameo for boys.
toy cars, swords, puzzles, books, finger puppets, play dough, kinetic sand, small Lego boxes....the list is endless, as long as you think outside the box.
