Child Taming

How do you subdue over 20 wild children hopped up on sugar and excitement without tranquilizer darts? Call in reinforcements!

A very special thank you to Color Whims here on Oahu. They dove into our bit of Chaos head first. They even sent emails to my shy princess to prepare her and build her excitement. They also had a special talent for putting each child at ease. The balloons were out of this world. My only regret was I didn't snag one for myself. He even did giraffes! He made balloons that would literally devour that standard little balloon dog you normally see. I'm still wondering how in the world you get balloons inside of balloons??

The face painter was so gifted! My little wild cat didn't wash her face for TWO DAYS! Notice the sleep smudges on her kitty nose right under her happy eyes?

So thank you Color Whims . Our Princess Kitty was thrilled. We couldn't have asked for more amazing people to share such a special day with. Thank you for a party that will live in her memory forever. If you're looking for birthday party entertainment on Oahu we must say they are puuuuurfect!

Fun Party Invite or Favor

This is an idea for easy and inexpensive party invites or favors.

You will need:
Postcards or card stock
Ribbon lined Alligator hair clips (Suckers will work also)

Use a box knife to make parallel cuts of equal length on your card. They can be horizontal or vertical. Now just squeeze the clip open and weave it through the slit. Punch a hole in the upper corner and tie it to a balloon. It is the perfect fun little party favor or invitation.

Need a little help lining alligator clips? http://www.girlythingsbows.com/ is one of my favorite sites for very simple and basic instructions. The instructions listed across the top of the site are in alphabetical order. Once you have a lined clip you can glue on anything from crystals to buttons. My favorite are satin roses. Or you can slide in suckers in the slit instead and just tie ribbon to the stick.

I had the card featured in my example custom printed by Vista Print, http://www.vistaprint.com/. They are always having free offers. I only had to pay shipping. I recieved over 100 small postcards. I also use Vista Print to custom print thank you cards, care instructions, personalized invitations and business cards.
