FOR MY DAUGHTERS 6TH BIRTHDAY SHE WANTED THE THEME TO BE BUTTERFLIES. THE INVITATIONS WERE PRINTED OF THE COMPUTER USING SOME CLIP ART I HAD OF BUTTERFLIES. I DECORATED WITH LAVENDER AND PINK STREAMERS THAT I HUNG LITTLE BUTTERFLY FOAMIES FROM. USING A FISKARS HOLE PUNCHER SHAPED LIKE A BUTTERFLY I PUNCHED HOLES INTO FOAM AND SPRINKLED THE PUNCH OUTS ALL OVER THE TABLE. I GOT PINK PLATES AND CUPS, LAVENDER UTENSILS AND NAPKINS. I MADE THE GIFT BAGS OUT OF PINK AND WHITE FLEXI-FOAM FOR THE GIRLS TO LOOK LIKE A SMALL PINK PURSE WITH WHITE LACE AND CORDED LAVENDER PLASTIC CORDING THROUGH AS THE HANDLES AND FOR THE BOYS TAN FLEXI FOAM PLAIN. EACH CHILD DECORATED THEIR BAGS WITH DIFFERENT FOAMIES AS THE CRAFT FOR THE PARTY. WE HAD HAMBURGERS AND HOT DOGS FOR THE FOOD THEN WENT OUT AND BROKE THE PINATA. AFTER THAT WE HAD CAKE. I HAD PURCHASED A WHITE FROSTED CAKE WITH NO DECORATIONS AND USED A BUTTERFLY COOKIE CUTTER TO MAKE THE SHAPE OF A BUTTERFLY AND FILLED IT WITH COLORED SUGAR AND OUTLINED IT WITH CAKEMATES BLACK WRITER. FOLLOWING THAT WE HAD THE GIFT OPENING. I HAD EACH CHILD SIT NEXT TO THE BDAY GIRL AND GET THEIR PICTURE WITH HER AFTER THE GIFT WAS OPEN (THIS MAKES IT EASIER TO PROPERLY THANK THE CHILD ON THANK YOU NOTES) AFTER THAT IT WAS FREE PLAY UNTIL THE PARENTS CAME TO RETRIEVE THEIR CHILD. IN EACH FAVOR BAG I PUT A PENCIL WITH FEATHERED END THAT I HAD MADE TO LOOK LIKE A FLOWER, PINK BEADS, BODY GLITTER, A BARRETTE THAT I HAD BEADED MYSELF WITH SEED BEADS,INSECT STICKERS. THE BOYS GOT THE SAME STICKERS, A LITTLE INSECT, INSECT PENCIL AND CANDY. ALL IN ALL IT WAS THE BEST PARTY MY DAUGHTER HAD EVER HAD.
