[quote=Anonymous]Best party we ever had and the one I planned least for (at last minute):

One of the pottery places (where you go in and paint and then they fire in their kilns) came to our home.  They brought everything for the kids (I think we had 12 total, as someone dropped off a sibling!!) and took the materials back to the shop to fire.  All the kids were in the same class at school, so we distributed the finished products there -- this was a 'sanctioned' invite as we invited all the girls in the class, so we had permission to do the distribution without hurt feelings, so to speak.

Before their arrival, I'd not really planned anything -- I can't remember where my head was but it was obviously somewhere other than planning this party! -- but the next thing I knew, a posse of incredibly excited little girls created the time of their lives dancing to the Wii in the basement (I threw some glow sticks into the room when I realized how much fun they were having ;)

Cake and snacks followed the firing (very easy snacks including fruit)

Gift bags included a mix CD (this was obviously about 6 years ago) that we played throughout the party.  They also included very cheap oversized T shirts that we got at AJ Moore or Michaels for $3 each.  If I were doing it now, I'd have all the kids sign every shirt with fabric markers as an added plus.  The T shirts were, of course, the smocks for painting the pottery.

Some parents stayed and had conversation and grown-up snacks; others dropped off.

We rented a long folding table and chairs for about $40; the pottery place as noted brought what they needed; and we were golden.

I smile just remembering it, both for how much fun and how easy it was and how much better (in some ways) than other parties I stressed about for MUCH longer.

Good luck OP![/quote]
