Baby Doll Party  This birthday party for my 6 year old was a hit!  For the invitation I purchased newborn baby vests, then I printed the invitation on a transfer on sheet and ironed the invitation onto the back of the vests with a poem that read like this:   "Come to my party I'm turning six, we'll play lots of games and get lots of kicks.  You can't come alone, help you will need.  This is how you'll need to proceed: Take this vest and dress your baby doll.  Bring her along, she too will have a ball.The rest of the details I cannot share.  All you need to know now is when and where.Just remember and tell yourself this: "Cassidy's party, I don't want to miss!"  When:, where:, time, etc….  I added the girls' names and year on the front side of the vests and rolled them up and added a ribbon around and put them in a manila envelope before mailing them. All the girls came to the party with their dolls dressed in their invitation vests.  For decoration, the theme colors were baby blue, yellow, pink and while. My husband made a huge baby carriage made out form core and had my daughter help him decorate it. We added steamers and balloon flowers which looked really pretty (see http://www.themepartiesnmore.com/generic282.html for instructions).   The room looked very pretty.  As the girls came in, with had the birthday girl take a picture behind the carriage with each one of her friends and then we took group pictures with and without their babies. For games, we played the following games: MOTHER-BABY RACE: Have the girls divide up into teams of 2, one is to be the MOTHER the other is to be the BABY, give each team a baby bottle filled with a preferred beverage; remember to cut the nipple hole a little larger; the BABY sits in MOTHER'S lap and is fed the bottle. The team who finishes the bottle first wins the prize! Very funny. BOTTOMS UP: Get 5 little plastic babies (in the cake decorating department). Put them in a cup. Each guests get three "rolls" as they try to get the babies to land with their bottoms up. The player with the most bottoms up after three rolls wins or faces off in tie.  BIRTHING BABIES: Freeze little babies in ice cube tray. Distribute them to the girls and tell them to help the baby to be born without putting the ice cube in their mouths. The first baby born wins! You can also set a time for the birth and the one born closest to the time wins! MATCHING SOCKS: In the center of the room, place a pile of (separated) 10-15 pairs of baby socks (solids, patterned, and different sizes). Each guest gets 10 seconds to match them. The guest with most pairs of matching socks wins a prize. (the more patterned socks, the harder).  RELAY RACE WITH DOLLS. Divide the girls into 2 teams. Girls had to race to dress-up their dolls (including diaper), and stroll their babies to the next girl in line.  The next had to undress the baby, redress her in their own clothes and stroll the baby on the next girl.  The first team to finish won. LAUNDRY TIME: Hang a clothesline at the shower. Have a basket filled with baby clothes, socks, shirts, blankets and a bag of clothespins. Each person has 1 minute to hang as many clothes as they can. DIAPER THE BABY: Purchase a pack of disposable diapers, some baby powder (travel size), and baby dolls. Have a race to see who can diaper their baby the fastest.  Other games included: Pin the pacifier on the doll, Baby Bingo, Pin Toss (kind of like Bean Bag Toss, except you use diaper pins), Baby Memory Game, Guess the number of jelly beans in a baby bottle, etc. Finally, the girls beaded necklaces for their dolls. For game prizes, I purchased baby booties, magic baby bottles and several other baby items. For the cake I got this cute pink cake (which is usually used for baby showers or baptisms) decorated small white clouds, baby bottles, pacifiers, baby pins, etc. In the middle there was a little plastic baby lying on a cloud.  For party favors, I bought silver pacifier charms for each girl and put them in a little box with the word "baby" and other baby items printed on it.  I then slipped the box into small pink sheer organza pouches and added a few miniature baby items (ex. baby rattle, pins, and pacifiers) inside.  I finished it off with gluing a miniature baby bottle on the bag, which I purchased at a party store in the baby shower section.   I also filled up the baby bottles which we used for the Mother-Baby Race with gum balls and gave those with the gift pouches.  The girls had such a great time and so did I!
