FOR OUR DAUGHTERS 3RD BIRTHDAY MY HUSBAND AND I DECIDED TO HAVE A CINDERELLA BIRTHDAY PARTY.  I RENTED A BUILDING JUST FOR HER BIRTHDAY AND DECORATED IT TO GO WITH THE THEME.  FOR STARTERS I SENT OUT ROYAL INVITATIONS ON PAPER THAT HAD A SCROLL SHAPE INVITING EVERYONE TO PRINCESS RYLEES BIRTHDAY PARTY. THEN I PURCHASED METALLIC PLATES, CUPS, AND NAPKINS, WITH CINDERELLA'S PICTURE ON THEM, WHICH WERE BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE THEY SHINED WHEN THE LIGHTS HIT THEM.  THEN I PURCHASED A BIG BANNER TO HANG ON THE WALL THAT SAID BIRTHDAY PRINCESS WITH CINDERELLA'S PICTURE IN THE MIDDLE. THEN I HAD A CAKE ESPECIALLY MADE WITH CINDERELLA'S PICTURE DRAWN ON IT.  THEN I DECORATED THE ROOM WITH ALL PINK AND BLUE.  MY HUSBAND AND I GOT TO BIG APPLIANCE BOXES AND PAINTED THEM PINK AND CUT OUT DOORS AND WINDOWS TO BE HER CASTLE WHICH WAS A GREAT HIT. ALL THE KIDS LOVED GETTING IN AND OUT OF PRINCESS RYLEES CASTLE. THEN I RENTED A HELIUM TANK AND BLEW UP 150 PINK AND BLUE BALLOONS. I JUST LET THEM HANG FROM THE CEILING WITH THE STRINGS HANGING DOWN, THE KIDS ALSO LOVED THIS IT LOOKED LIKE A BALLROOM. AT THE MAIN TABLE WITH THE CAKE I HAD A PAIR OF GLASS SLIPPERS BESIDE THE CAKE AND BALLOONS AND CONFETTI ON EVERY TABLE. THEN WHEN SHE GOT DONE OPENING ALL HER GIFTS AND THE PARTY WAS ABOUT OVER THE KIDS EACH GOT ABOUT 5-10 BALLOONS A PIECE AND WENT OUTSIDE AND LET THEM GO UP INTO THE SKY...(I THINK THIS WAS THEIR FAVORITE PART).  BEFORE EACH CHILD LEFT THEY GOT A CROWN AND A GOODY BAG. IT WAS TRULY A MEMORABLE PARTY.
