I am finally getting Miss Belle's party posted. She is cat obsessed and so it was an obvious choice to do a kitten party for her. Her birthday is right after Christmas so we tend to do a party at the beginning of January. This year she invited 5 little friends from school. Five little girls is SO much easier and quieter than pretty much any number of boys! It was a very relaxing party!
I typically love to go all out with a theme for a party. This year I had to scale that back a bit. With playing single parent for the month, there was only so much I could do. But I think it turned out great and Belle had a great time!
I found a cute invite on etsy. The shop name is PinkInkCreations. I would love to design these myself for my kids parties, but I typically run out of time and just have to order one.
However I did make the decorations! Lets start with the front door when the guests walked it. I put together a yarn ball wreath in the party colors. This wasn't hard to make but a little time consuming. I didn't follow a tutorial for it, I just did what I thought looked good. The 4 was green from my sons birthday a few years ago. I have an issue with getting rid of things that could be used again at some point. Because of that I had it on had and just had to give it a fresh coat of pink paint. I love how it turned out.
Once inside, quests were greeted with a chalk board sign. It instructed them to take a pair of ears and a tail (I crafted both of these items). It also told them to draw on their whiskers. (Which I now see I misspelled! Way to go me!) For the whiskers I just had a black face paint crayon.
I had to take a few photos of Isabella showing of her tail, ears and whiskers!
For activities, I had coloring sheets to do while we waited for all the guests. I had a several cat nip mice toys that I hid around the house and I had the girls crawl around like cats to find all the mice. We also had a pinata. Walmart didn't have a cat one so we settled on a Trolls Poppy one instead. It threw off the decor a bit, but Belle love it! The girls blew through the games quickly and so they enjoyed just playing with Belle's toys for a good portion for the party.
For food, we had a pink kitten cake. The best part of this cake was that it was rainbow tie dye inside, per the request of a certain 4 year old. I regret to say I didn't take a photo of the cake once it was cut. I also had goldfish crackers that you scooped up with a fish net (don't worry I bought a brand new one!) and swedish fish. I went easy for drinks and just did juice bags.
For added decor I also yarn wrapped the letters to say MEOW and set them by the food. For party favors, each girl when home with a kitten that they adopted complete with an adoption certificate that I print from a site I found off of Pinterest. However I can't seem to link it, because it is now saying not found.
Such a fun party with great friends!
