The party is OVER and it was a big hit! We played loads of games, had 11 giggling girlies and ate tons of ice cream cake! The kids loved the hot dog octopus's (but don't bake em, they just get hard and "crusty" according to Serenity). You just cut em and boil em (or wait till after b/c you forgot and burn your fingers LOL).
Here is my 6 year old in her new outfit from Auntie Sarah and her crown!
We had balloon issues - we ran out of helium, so we had to thumb tack them to the ceiling (way cheaper to do this in the first place I guess) and the ones we did fill were like mini grenades (let them go and wait for the scary POP!) Overall, we did get the effect we wanted though.
There was fishing for felt fish (more on that later)
Had some crab races - masssssive giggling as they stumbled over their skirts!
1/2 hour before the party was scheduled to be over we ran out of stuff to do ACK! Brilliantly, I decided to let them watch Serenity's new Barbie "A Fairy Secret" movie which most of them hadn't seen. They were so worn out that you could have heard a pin drop!
The party was a great success and Serenity said that she had "the BEST time EVER!" I had one parent tell me that her daughter now wants a great party at home, just like Serenity! Very cool!
What was your fave birthday party theme from when you were a kid?

PS - I used 26 rolls of streamers! Good thing they were cheap!

That looks like the best party ever.....I love the decorating with all the balloons and streamers :)
Love the decor - really looks like they were having fun!!! My fave party was a surprise - I still remember the party favors - balloons with cardboard feet - Mom made 'em all. That was back in the day when most parties were at home! Lately, I've been able to convince my boys (well, the last few parties at least) to have them at home as we can do more fun stuff! They sorta get it, but since most kids these days are having them out, it makes it more difficult. Sure helps when you have a creative mom,eh?
Take care, Shanna
Love kids parties, makes me sad mine are grown up, but if they're around on their birthdays, we do goofy stuff!
AND, my sons BD is April 1st!
Great special effects!
looks like it was a wonderful party!!! what a lot of work you went to, I'm so glad your babe loved it!!!
Doesn't it make it all worth it when they say things like that? Ailis said her 6th b-day party was "the best day of my LIFE!" and I was just thrilled! The balloons and streamers look awesome! My friends still remember my b-day party where we went sledding down the pipeline. Simple, but sooooo fun!
i JUST WANT CAKE!!!
The party looks great! Those balloons and streamers are perfect - my fave shade of blue! :)

You did a great job Carrie! The jelly-fish in the entrance way were so effective. Serenity is a lucky girl to have you go to all this work. It felt very magnical being there.
