The idea for the cake sounds lovely.
For the lolly bag, you could always make some playdough and put it in a bag with a cookie cutter. Depends on the ages of the littlies though. Another idea would be some rubber ducks or other cheap bath toys.
Another idea would be to make a big cookie on a paddle pop stick - and have the childs initial on it - either in icing or lollies. You could wrap it in a bag and make it look pretty
Have fun!! ( I love doing the kids parties )
... Kids always love * stickers * in their loot/lolly bag, can buy a book full of sheets of stickers & cut out a panel of them (stickers of smiley faces, animals, happy birthday cakes & presents, anything unisex ...)
(Jaz ... i love doing kids parties to !! I get so excited with the organising months ahead & on the actual party day i get kisses & cuddles everywhere i go BUT then the last party was a bunch of 2 & 3year olds, LOL )
Thanks everyone.. sorry but ALL your invites must have been eating by the mailbox bugs..
BG - hmm no choccies in the baby bags but i might find something small for you, E is getting a bag... not you!
I hope the cake turns out ok, it sounds good but icing and i don't agree and putting it together could be interesting, glad it's only about 6 of us going to see and eat it.. the big party i am getting a pro.. hehe my excuse is i am fat, pg and i wont have the patience to make it pretty enough for 70+ ppl.... .lol
Thanks so much for the ideas on the goody bags, have decided the under 1's will get a book, some stickers, bubbles and maybe a whistle and of course a balloon, any little girls i will buy the cheap bright bangles and the little boys get a toy car!
The older kids are getting lollies (party mix ???) , a chocolate (might slip one in E's for you BG), a balloon, bangles etc for girls, boys toy for the boys and then maybe some stickers etc aswell.
What lollies do you guys suggest, i was thinking party mix, a chocolate, used to love the candy bracelets???, don't want to spend a fortune.. got 15 lolly bags to make and 6 baby bags!
The last couple of birthdays for my DD i have purchased from The Reject Shop a big bag of about 10 little sealed bags of soft lollies inside (that way they ain't handled if there are fussy parents) ... I think it might be called Party Mix or something like that, no more than $4 - $5 for the entire pkt
Pop a couple of Chocolate Coins and one Lolly Pop (also from The R J shop) !!
I'm pretty sure i have seen in BigW the Candy Bracelets
