THEME Hi, my name is Brittany and my friend Georgie had a really great party last year when she turned 12. The theme was Beauty and the Geek, like the hit TV series and the invitation told us
who was invited (there were about 10 girls going). Before the party, we had to pair up with another girl and decide who would be the beauty and who would be the geek. My friend Charlotte and
I paired up together and decided she would come as a beauty and I would come as a geek. Before the party, Charlotte and I spent time together orginising our costumes. Hers was really cool and
pretty and mine was a dorky outfit with some dorky glasses.
GAMES The party went from 5:30pm to 8:00pm. When we arrived we were welcomed to Georgie's backyard where we sat on the grass and talked until everyone else arrived. The first game was a catwalk competition. In our pairs we had to make up a short catwalk routine and show it to everyone, you could also just do a simple 'best costumes' competition. Georgie's parents judged the winners. Then we played apple bobbing. We all lined up in two teams of beautys, and geeks. then one at a time we had to run and pick up a piece of chopped up apple from a bucket of water, run back to the line and place the piece of apple in a small bowl. Each team member did this until all the apples were gone from one teams bucket. That team is the winner. A slight variation of this game includes stopping after a certain time and counting the apples in each teams bowl to determine the winner. another game was a nail polish game. The birthday girl placed a bottle of nail polish on a chopping board in the middle of a circle that everyone sits in. Then she spins the bottle. When the bottle stops, the person in which the lid is pointing at, has to paint one of their nails in that colour. The game ends when everyone has all their nails painted in different colours! everyone's favourite game was definately the chocolate game. Everybody sits in a circle, with a chopping board in the middle. The chopping board has a block of chocolate in the middle and a knife and fork beside it. The birthday girl starts with the dice and rolls it once, then passes it on. When somone gets a six, they sit in the middle of the circle eating the chocolate, one piece at a time, with the knife and fork while the other keep rolling. The next person to roll a six takes the chocolate eating position while the other girl sits back in the circle. The game stops when all the chocolate is finished. FOOD AND DRINK during the party there was a bowl of punch (but it was actually peached iced tea) that people could go and get when they were thirsty, but after the party games we all went inside for pizza, sausage rolls/party pies, lemonade, fruit kababs etc. Hope this helped!
