Knights of the Round Table Party   We did use some ideas for your site which is sooo helpful and added our own ideas.   We made the invites of parchment paper stated: Sir/Lady (first name) of (last name) Noble Knights and Ladies Fair are invited for feasting and festivities in honor of his Royal Highness (the birthday child's name written the same way as his guests)each was rolled up and tied with gold ribbon and hand delivered. Our son was a Knight last year for Halloween.  I used the same design that I did on the computer through out all personalized pieces for each guest  Be built a working drawbridge from a file cabinet box and decorated it with gray paper tablecloths stuck on with spray adhesive and drew on bricks. The moving bridge was covered with brown construction paper and drawn to look like wood.  We used twine tied with large washers on the top of the moving bridge and it was put through a hole on the box and tied on the inside with smaller less heavy washers.  You just had to push on the bridge and it went down. If it doesn't go down easily put heavier washers on the bridge. We put it at the bottom of the basement stairs.  We also put fake candlesticks on the inside and announced each guest as Sir/Lady (first name) of (last name) each one thought the drawbridge was the coolest.  While the guests were arriving they were coloring an eye piece of a helmet, a circle letter crest for the middle of a shield and a blade of a sword which we used on a "Put the pieces on the knight picture"  First, we searched for bags of gold, chocolate coins with each guests name on them, we did it twice. They were hidden in places that the tax man would not find them, boots, pots, pans, baskets, etc. they had to do it as quietly as possible or they might wake King Richard or the tax man, which was Dad.   Second, we played ball and chain, black balloons tied on with silver yarn. Each guest had to find a way to pop their own balloons.  Third, Dragon slaying, a candy filled piñata I made stickers with names for each guest and put them on ziplock bags to hold their candy.  Fourth, blindfold each guest and have them place the eye piece, crest circle, and sword blade on a drawing of a knight in armor hold a shield and sword. They other guests ate some of their candy from the piñata and rested.  Next we opened gifts in front of the drawbridge and we took pictures of the gift giver and gift with our son to make the thank you cards which were in the shape of a shield and said "You made me feel like royalty"    Cake eating was saved for last. The table was decorate with royal colors dark blue, purple, red, gold, dark green and fake candlesticks. Our son made jewel goblets out of plastic wine glasses with colored jewel stickers we bought at the party store.   The guest gift bags were gold and decorate with a shield on the front that stated: Sir/Lady (first name) and then it listed 3 words that described that person example: Sir Patrick  Kind, Funny, and Sincere.   We filled each bag with knight stickers, a green knight toy from Playmobil, castle notepad, rice krispie bar shields, fruit roll up swords.  We also tied a balloon on each bag and set them around the room for decoration.  They cake was made out of a 9 x 13 that was cut to make 4 small square towers for the corners and a variety of candies were used to decorate it, Malt balls for cannon balls, miniature Hershey bars for windows and drawbridge, pretzel sticks for drawbridge rope, fruit rol-ups on toothpicks for flags on top of sugar cones which were placed on top of the 4 square towers.  Small tootsie rolls were spaced around the top of the walls and the cake was frosted gray.   It was great fun for the kids who were late 4 and 5. I planned 1 1/2 hours for a party with 14 guests and it was perfect.
