Princess and Princes (or Princess and Knights)
Invitations: We would like to request the presence of your Princess (or Prince) at our castle for Princess Logan and Princess Alyssa's Sixth Birthday Party. Come one, Come all and be ready to have a Princess and Prince's good manners, great time. My husband and I have identical twin girls in kindergarten, for their last Birthday, we had a wonderful party. They have many friends, both boys and girls, and did not want anyone to be excluded or feel out of place at a girly party. My husband and I dressed up in our best Princess and Prince attire. We also dressed our girls up in thier best Princess attire. We requested that parents send thier children in thier play clothes, because we were going to have tons of fun. Before the party, we had the grandparents take the girls out(on a birthday, get to buy your own present trip), while we decorated the castle (our home). We got out all of our medieval decorations and had the castle looking great with balloons, streamers and just about anything that had a dragon or Princess (Prince) on it. After the castle was decorated, we set out on our own adventure of making treasure maps and buried treasures. As our guests arrived, they were crowned as a Princess or Prince and were each given a treasure map and a Princess's wand or a Prince's dagger (fake). All maps were going in different direction and no treasures within ten feet of each other. After having a proper sitting and introduction session (so all guest would know everyones name), we sent our Princess's and Prince's out on thier own treasure hunt. Each hunt ending at a party pack for a Princess or Prince. The first one to find their treasure got a dragon party favor and we all helped the last person find their treasure. After the treasure hunt, we all sat down and ate. Then it was time for the pinata. Having experience with children and pinata's in the past, we realized they are not the easiest to break. We purchased a round pinata and decorated it as a dragon's egg for the occassion. Then on our huge patio, we played a different type of kickball with the pinata. It finally broke after one good kick into a suppost beam for the patio and the candy and Princess and Princes went in every direction. Then it was castle cake time and rocky road ice cream. With a great new word for the Happy Birthday song. We have always in the past said both girls names and everyone would end up doing a different child's names first. to make it easier this year we sang "Happy Birthday Dear Princess's", instead of the confussion of both girls names. We all then headed into the living room where the Birthday Princess's opened their presents and thanked their friends in their best Princess manners. Afterthat we played a game of pin the wings on the dragon.Then while we waited for the parents that did not attend to pick-up thier children, everyone finger painted their own castle and dragon to take home. Through out the party we had dragon party favor prizes for different things. Like great manners, great listening skills, being nice and great sharing. Everyone left with a treasure and a extra dragon party favor. The Princess's and Prince's all had a great time. I think on their next Birthday, we will have a greater number attending. Whenever I would go to pick the girls up from school, the kids were always talking about the great party. We also received many thank you's and great party from the parents before they left. It was an enjoyable time for all. Now it is time to start thinking about their next party. What will we do next to top this party??? Sincerely, Jennifer and Eric extremely proud parents of Logan and Alyssa 6 years old and Drew 18 months P.S. By the way their school mascot is a dragon
