Do you get what I'm saying? An 8-yr-old may like a pirate party, but not a backyardigans or something. Loving scurvy Jason pic with the superorganized closet in the background. We've done the jumpcastle at the house party for the past two years and loved it.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441607585776350586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005234532014158396.post-72941880682961896552009-07-24T06:28:10.944-05:002009-07-24T06:28:10.944-05:00Love your blog!

I printed invites on brown paper sacks and then burned the edges with a match. I can send a pic if you want. Cheap and really cute! I got pirate swords and eye patches for oriental trading and we had a treasure hunt in our backyard. I had picture clues that took them from place to place. The treasure was candy, bubbles, etc and they each got a bag to take some loot home. For the cake - I made a pirate hat. Cute and cheap! let me know if you want to see pics and need more info.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691360904867898746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005234532014158396.post-42603824381669550532009-07-22T14:22:19.033-05:002009-07-22T14:22:19.033-05:00You know I'm not that creative, I had to have ...You know I'm not that creative, I had to have help with Anderson's 1st birthday theme.

You can buy most pirate stuff at the Dollar Tree for.....yep $1. He has gotten so many pirate vests, swords (oh no did Ms. Montessori Teacher over here give her kid a sword?!?!? yep ;) ) eye patches and tons of beads from the Dollar Tree. And you know those red bandanas are not hard to find at the Wally World.

He loved it. It was very reasonable. We did everything ourselves from invitations. It took time but it wasn't expensive. We invited all our friends and family to come dressed in their best pirate gear. My best friend dressed as a gypsy and did mustaches and tattoos on everyone in her "beauty parlor", we had foam sword fights, we had pirate food, made treasure map invites......anyway, I can tell ya all the junk we did and how we did it if you are interested.Rebecca Setzer Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00987932838466752483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005234532014158396.post-90895634415802240402009-07-21T23:03:48.399-05:002009-07-21T23:03:48.399-05:00One other thing, depending on what he's into a...One other thing, depending on what he's into at the time, you could let him dress up for the events and/or tailor the events around that particular interest.Rachel Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03893403038985836386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005234532014158396.post-61205288794347149272009-07-21T23:02:04.450-05:002009-07-21T23:02:04.450-05:00For my son's 3rd birthday (he didn't reall...For my son's 3rd birthday (he didn't really have any friends) we made a type of scavenger hunt for him. I made up flyers for all the things he was gonna get to do that day and we did stuff all day long and he got to open presents several times. Examples of what we did: Breakfast with Grandparents, Lunch at favorite place (McDonald's), Toys R Us (to pick out toy w/ his birthday coupon), Chuck E Cheese for dinner & play, Ice Cream shop for dessert. He loved this. This was fairly cheap because it was only our immediate family and we didn't have to contend with a bunch of kids. Ashton has since grown out of that phase so we'll see what kind of parties I have to get into in the next few years.Rachel Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03893403038985836386noreply@blogger.com
