Today we celebrated the girls upcoming 6th birthday (SIXTH! How is that possible?) with a few of their friends. Never having planned a party with kid games before, I was a little nervous, but Pinterest served me well and all the activities were lots of fun!
The theme was Princess/Hello Kitty. That’s what you get when you throw a party for twin girls! Thankfully both those themes are entirely pink. :)
Cousin Alli gifted the girls with their very own princess tiaras and wands before the party (after also curling their hair into gorgeous ringlets), so the girls felt very much like princesses:
For games, after the kids all made Fruit Loop necklaces, we did “pin the crown on the princess”:
And a fun game where I had the kids bop balloons all over the room accompanied by princess music, and then every child grabbed a balloon when the music stopped. I drew a name out of a bag, and then that child got to pop their balloon and do the silly activity that I had previously placed on a piece of paper inside the balloon (like hopping like a frog, or making a crazy face). The kids LOVED getting to pop balloons!
Then we had the kids see who could wrap each other up the fastest and best with yellow crepe paper to simulate Rapunzel’s hair:
And of course we had to do a piñata!
They had worked up an appetite!
For their cake, I copied a picture that my aunt had posted on Facebook of a dress made entirely of cupcakes. I had my local grocery store bake, frost and assemble them:
And then I added a wand, tiara, ribbon, and sugar pearls for decoration. I loved how it turned out!
So did Danny (note to self – bright pink frosting is difficult to clean off of just about everything, including skin!):
Lastly, the kids used these awesome sticker-by-the-number kits to decorate their own foam tiaras. Here’s Becky sporting hers, along with a candy-hued blue mustache:
And here’s Danny’s self-made version:
I couldn’t have done this party without amazing help from my mother-in-law, my niece Alli, and some of the big sisters of our guests who are expert child-wranglers. It was a group effort, and the girls (and I) loved every minute of it!
How very awesome and so filled with love ~ thank you for sharing their party with us <3
