Cooking Party  For the invitations of this party, take regular colored paper. THen write all the information add this too. "You have been invited to the Caulinary School of Cooking, the founder of this school child's name. You and a few other guests have all been invited to do some cooking at this school. Remember this a once a year, maybe because we might close down one day, thing. You will get to do cooking, and guess what, you will eat you're own creations. We hope you can join us on this special day. For decoartions, decorate you're entry way with a sign, "Child's Name Caulinary Cooking School" You can also decorate the house with pictures of you're child in chef hats and chef outfits, so it acctually looks like they are real chefs and they have that acctual job. Or hangup pictures or collages of food and dishes. Try and find at stores childrens aprons and chef hats, or try and make the chef hats out of plane white paper if you know how. The aprons can be white, or if you have any that aren't white you can use those too. Let those be your guests party favors, or part of them. Have your table be a counter top wehre the guests make all the creations. Get plastic table cloths, and at the dollar store, buy paper plates for all the creations, silverware, if they have any small rollings pins, which can also be the childrens party favors. Cooking materials, if you don't have any already. Lay out ingredints before they come, in bowls, you can put for the main coarse, vegetables, cheese, different types of bread, lunch meats, hotdogs, sauces, chicken, like shreadded or cut up chicken, tomato soup, so that they can create there own type. And more. Or another type of way you can have it, is have them all create first, second, and third courses. Say for the first courses you can get recipes for soups, and have them create there own soup, they can use all different types of ingrediants that you have available. You can get different vegetables, and dips, and have them create there own vegetable platters. Those will be the appetizers. For the second course the main course, have them make something like hamburgers, or hotdogs but with there own creations. A good idea would be for them to make something like pasta or lasana. So they can add whatever they want. Have a few choices available for them to choose from. For the third course, you can have the desert. Put out toppings, and all kinds of ice creams, or you might want to make some pudding before hand and have them add whatever they want, whip cream, gram crackers, or whatever else you can think of. or make a cake before the party starts, and have them decorate it themselves. At the end give them a bag for all there party favors. Then have them play games until all the food is ready and the tables are setup. They can play games like hot potao since that has to do with a cooking type party. bobbing for apples, gold fish, and more. then setup a room with a few different tables covered with table cloths. And flowers in vases as center pieces. Beofre the party place place mats for each guest, that can also be a party favor. If you want you can have them make there own place mats, by decorating constuction paper, but a better way to do it is, take some constructuon paper for each guest before the party,  write each name on one. Decorate it with each childs personality, or just however you want. Then at Kinko's or any other copy plac,e they will probably have laminating, so you can ask them to laminate each one in time for the party, it's only about one to two dollars at the Kinko's I go too. That can be one of the party favors they get. Back to the party. Split each guest into groups, and have them sit down at the tables in there different groups. Then ask family members and friends before the party if they could help out. Have them act out as waiters and waitresses, waiters can wear regular suits, and waitresses can just wear waitress outfits, shirt's pants, or dresses. Buy some platters at the dollar store which are of coarse only a dollar. Give each waiter and waitressa platter, have them serve all the foods on that. Start out by saying this, "We are all here at child's name Caulinary Cooking School, and we have all made our own creations,now we will test each one of our creations, we will start off with the first course, which is soup, and vegetables and dip. Or something like that. Have there be a waiter for each table. Then before the dinner starts, divide the food up into servings for each table and each kid. You can have a plate of dip and a bowl of vegetables or a platter for each table. Or instead of so many tables you can use one long one. Then split the soup up into bowls for each child. Have the waiters also bring those out. Then say waht the next dishes are. Bring those out and have everyone enjoy them. Finally desert split the desert up into plates for each child. After that say, "We are so glad that you have all been here to make many new creations with our main chef and founder, child's name. Unfortunatley our kitchen has decided to close down, because our main founder and all of his workers are very tired and wish to retire. But we will be opening up again every so often for birthday party's. we hope you had a great time working with us. " In goodybags, just put small pieces or large pieces of candy inside, and maybe some stickers or something because you already gave them all that stuff, like the chef hats, rolling pins, ect. Hope you use this party idea!
