Our Pirince and Princess birthday party is coming together :)

I have come to discover it is a challenge to plan any child's birthday party, figure out how to make it fun and not go broke at the same time. This year it has been even more challenging since I have decided to throw a combo party for all of my children, one 4 year old boy and two 1 year old girls. Though it does save money to just have one party instead of two, it was tough to decide on a good location that would be suitable for all of the children. We decided that Burger King would be a good location. It has a built in activity for the kids, meals that come with toys (so no favor bags req), each child also gets a crown ot wear and the location was pretty much in the middle of all the places that our family and friends live.

Since I am a big fan of themed parties and arts & crafts time, I decided that a prince and princess theme would go good with Burger King. Over the past couple of weeks I have been finding and creating projects for Aiden that go with that theme. I have already gotten pink crowns that have a 1 on them for the girls and we are going to make a crown for Aiden that has a 4 on it. In our area a minimum of a $40 food order will get a free kids meal for the birthday kids. Plus since we are going to have so many adults there, they are going to see about us being able to get a reduced price on drinks for all the adult guests.

For our party decorations we are going with pink, green, and purple. Green is Aiden's favorite color and we added a girly color for each of the twins. I found some ideas that we are going to incorporate into arts and crafts time so that Aiden can participate in making most of the decorations. There is a flag banner project that we are going to do that will help him practice color patterns and sewing, we are going to make a few table toppers from colored paper crowns, pom poms and pipe cleaners and we are goiing to see if we can come up with any other creative ways to incorporate crowns into our decorations while we are at it.

I am excited to get to work on these projects and to share them with you so that you may be able to try them with your inspiring artists as well. :)
