Write the information backwards so it will have to be read in a mirror. Great for a Spy or Detective Party!
Paste a picture you like to one side of a piece of card stock, put party information of the back, and cut the page into four to ten pieces. Deliver in an envelope. The receiver will have to tape it back together to get the message.
Make them original!
Write or print out the party invites on sticky labels and then attach them
to interesting objects:
- plastic shovels for a beach party
- plastic fish for a pool party
- bananas for a jungle party
- boxes of animal crackers for an animal party
- packages of flower seeds for a Spring party
Stick the invite inside a balloon,
then blow it up. They'll have to pop the balloon to get the invitation.
First, serve small amounts. Children can always help themselves to more, but party food often goes uneaten, and less on their plates at one time means less wasted
Fruit Kebabs: skewered strawberries, pineapple, grapes, apple or watermelon pieces go great. Tailor them to the season and your kids' preferences. Blunt the skewers if possible
Serving ice cream cones? Stuff a miniature marshmallow down the cone to keep the end from dripping
Freeze small eatables, such as cake decorations, maraschino cherries, gummy bears, grapes, etc. inside ice cubes for the party drinks. Excellent to use if you want the guests to drink fizzy water instead of soda (to keep the sugar intake down)
Ice Cream Soup: Most kids love playing with their ice cream. Give each child a bowl with a scoop of ice cream in it and have sprinkles, chocolate chips, raisins or candies available for garnishing
Drinks can easily be themed by slipping designs over the straws. Just put your design on squares of paper (magnifying glass for detectives, skull and crossbones for pirates, glittered stars for fairies) and cut two slits in the paper for the straw
Set out plates of cut veggies for kids to ‘graze’ from. Avoid dips for hygienic reasons unless kids get their own cups to dip in
