I focused on the kitchen where they would be eating. I replaced our kitchen table with a folding table (so I could fit 9 girls, with my two girls sharing one end) and covered it with a light yellow sheet, tying and taping it up under the table so little legs and feet wouldn't catch on the sheet and pull everything off the table! I had pink paper plates with white napkins and used fancy ponytail holders in pink, purple and white for napkin rings (purchased in the dollar aisle at the grocery store). My only breakable item on the girls table were glass sherbet dishes that I used for fishy crackers, but they didn't need to pick them up to eat the crackers. The favor cups were plastic wine cups (8/$1 at the Dollar Store) that I filled half way with pastel M&M's and then topped pastel Life Savers (individually wrapped) to take up space as the cups were too large to fill completely with M&Ms. I put a silk flower in each one and tied a pink gingham bow on the base of each one and added a ponytail holder to match the one they had for the napkin ring. I had stickers with their names on them so they would serve as place cards as well. I had a small white porcelain tea set lined up down the middle of the table with pink flowers sprinkled down the middle as well. I had found flower garland at an amazing price a year ago or so ago with no idea when I would use them, so was pleased that I could attach a pink rose garland along the back of each chair as an extra touch. I had tulle swagged along the top of the glass doors going outside with bows, curling ribbon streamers, balloons and flowers tucked in it. I also had pink and purple crepe paper streamers from the light hanging above the table to each wall. I had a boquet of helium balloons anchored on the floor on either side of the window and that was where the birthday girls sat. On the kitchen island, I had a white 3-tiered dessert tray in the center with six crystal taper holders with light pink tapers and pink flowers strewn about as well. I used my good china (white with violets) in addition to glass and white serving dishes. We had Baby Einstein CDs playing, which is classical music that is easy on the ears, and provided a very nice, calm background.
