and I need your help Ladies! Her birthday
is February 4rth but we are going to have
it on the 3rd!! I dont even know how to go
about doing this. I would ask my mom or
Joeys Mom for help but then they will try
to do it all and um no im not having that
lol.
Her party is going to be done in
Tinkerbell. Shes also going to be dressed
as Tinkerbell 
I found a cake that I REALLY love but it
will cost me $130 soooo Im going to try to
make one like that. I really hope I can.
Im going to try to this weekend.
What kind of food should I have there?
How much is too much decorations?
Im thinking about doing a pinita if I
could find one thats Tinkerbell. Uhhh I
dont know and I have little time to plan.
I dont even know where Im
having it yet just not here.
ANY Ideas will be great!

Tinkerbell is such a cute idea! =)
and i think a pinata would be
appropriate...
little finger foods and things little kids
would like
maybe make pink punch to drink (maybe
somehow figure out how to put like
sparkles in it)
im still thinking... lol

I love the pink punch idea! I wouldnt know
how to make it sparkle lol.
Fruit is a good idea too!!
Dani its a fairy cake thats 3 tear (sp?).
lol Its at walmart. They have a 2 tear one
but it wouldnt be enough cake for
everybody because the tear on top is all
Amelias lol.
Were inviting somewhere around 50 people.
Our family is BIG and they all have
something to do with Amelia so I didnt
want to not invite someone. I know almost
all would come

thats really cute but you can find it
cheaper on other sites and with as many
ppl as you have coming you should buy in
bulk instead of preset packages.
I think you should do that since shes only
gunna turn 1 once. you can always do
tinkerbell next year

For my sister's 4th birthday, my mom went
freaking crazy!!! She did a Princess
theme, but did almost all of it
herself...she had one of those cling
pictures of a huge castle and they made
foam picture frames with "Princess
Jessica" on them (or whatever the kid's
name was) then took their picture in front
of the castle and printed the pic for the
kids to take home in the frame. Very good
idea and decently cheap. You can get the
foam stuff at Hobby Lobby. Then she did
like those cheap $1 fake silver platters
(Dollar Tree) for chocolate covered
strawberries and then they did 2
activities, they decorated foam crowns
with jewels and they made edible castles!!
It was a really good time and all the kids
enjoyed it. Maybe this gives you some
ideas....sorry I wrote a book!! : )

we are having macys bday the 2nd at the
park and i think im gunna rent a clown
that face paints, magic shows, and balloon
things cuz the bounce house is unnecessary
at a park. we are doing Ariel theme. there
should be about 15 kids between 3 n 6 so
we are gunna play pin the tail on the
mermaid and a pinata and maybe a sack race
but where would you get sacks? macy likes
to jump in pillow cases so i thought other
kids would enjoy it.

That one is cute too! You can also buy
the things individually so maybe you could
by like the plates and thankyous and such
that you really need from there and then
by balloons, candles etc somewhere else
like walmart that would be cheaper... Do
you have any party stores in your town?
We have a Party America store here that
sells tons of stuff and I think its a
little cheaper

i think its a cute idea (both)
Amber you can get a full sheet cake from
walmart that will feed 50 ppl for probably
around $60. PLUS you can have it decorated
with a theme from the book of themes they
have in the bakery.

Is it going to be an indoor party?
I really love Martha's idea with the
sparkling punch,you could also freeze lime
green ice cubes (use lime juice, or just a
tinytinytiny pit of green food coloring in
the ice cube tray), because that's Tink's
color. I know for a fact kids LOOOOVE
sparkles, so you can try to put them
anywhere just to add to the thrill (and it
doesn't have to be messy). If price is an
object, you could always make your own
pinata with papier mache (it's not too
difficult, but making a Tinkerbell shape
may be...you might have to go with a star
or something similar but simpler), or just
take a light pink or light green
tablecloth and glue sparkles all over
that, and you can get those tablecloths
for fifty cents. Do that same with
sparkles on green and pink balloons, and
get them filled with helium...you can also
use and silver or sparkly Sharpie and
write "Amelia Turns One!" on the
balloons.
You can also maybe buy a smaller cake, and
then make little cupcakes too, with green
and pink icing and maybe a Tinkerbell
decal, if you can find one...if not, you
could just use cute little color
coordinated sprinkles. For an easy
activity, you could lay out coloring
sheets of Tinkerbell, and the kids could
do that for awhile.
Chocolate covered chopped up strawberries
are a really cute idea, I say go for fruit
and pastries mostly, but in small portions
because the kids are little. And acruz
suggested the silver serving platters,
those are great and you won't have to
worry about them breaking...remember, add
sparkles to everything!
I'll keep brainstorming.

There are some cute Tink designs there
that would look awesome on whatever cake
you decide. Keep shopping around til you
find something you like...try not to get
them specially made if you can help it,
those can get expensive.
Not a problem, this is so fun to think
about, I'm thinking maybe I should have a
Tinkerbell themed sweet sixteen!
