Turning 7 Fairy Style

Sadie turns 7 next week, to celebrate we had a fairy party last night. The party was a lot of fun to create and received rave reviews! We had the party on a Friday night so it wouldn't consume our weekend, it also gave parents a chance to go out if they wanted too. I put it together a little on Wednesday and Thursday evening so we were ready for Friday. 

Waiting for our guests
We decorated with what we had and balloons.

When our fairies arrived their first stop was at the fairy beauty shop. Were they had their hair glittered, simple fairy colored eye shadow applied and a butterfly nail applique. They received their wings, and halos too.



The fairies next step was to the wand station, to choose and make their wands.

We played 3 party games
The games:

1.  I hid 6 party rings in the main party room.  I told the girls Tinkerbell had lost her ring, and we needed to find it. The rings were the prize.
2.  We did a fairy toss with the decorated bowls and rattan glittered balls.
3.  A fairy version of hot potatoe, passing a thimble with pixie sticks. When the fairies got out they got to sit and enjoy their pixie sticks.  It took the sting out of getting out.

Then it was time to eat cup cakes and open presents! 


Passing the thimble.
Happy Birthday Sadie!

Sadies "real" birthday is on a school day, so instead of bringing cupcakes and to avoid the cost and waste. I am making her bottles of pixie dust, from the dollar stores Sports Bottles with powder candy pack. A new label and few ribbons to each bottle will make a fun inexpensive classroom treat.
