I ended up with 9 girls (including my 2) and 5 moms attending. When the girls and mother's arrived, they walked through the kitchen and oohed and aahed at the decorations and then dropped off their gifts in the family room before heading back to the living room to decorate hats (where I had put the kitchen table, which worked great for a work surface). I had plastic woven hats from the Dollar Store which I lined with a little bit of felt because they were scratchy. I had cut flower blossoms off of bunches of artificial flowers (I put a little hot glue at the end so the blossoms wouldn't pop off) and had them in baskets by color, as well as a basket of ribbon to match the flowers.  Each girl picked a hat, flowers and ribbon and when they got the flowers arranged on the hat, I hot glued them and the ribbon (tied in a bow with long ends to hang down their back). Those that were done or waiting made beaded bracelets with pipecleaners (a favorite activity of my girls) so they weren't just standing.   As soon as all the hats were done, we went back in the family room and took pictures in front of our ficus tree, which made a nice background. My husband was the photographer and he took mother & daughter pictures, and then one of each guest with the two birthday girls.  We stayed in the dining room to decorate picture frames. I had cut a 5x7 frame and opening out of foam sheets and had foam stickers (pack of 200 from Dollar Store) that they could use to decorate. I had originally come up with a more complicated design for the frame involving Popsicle sticks, but ended up with just the foam frame and some adhesive magnetic strips. We will send the pictures from the party with the Thank You notes and they can put it in their frame and put it on their refrigerator!
