What are some tips for planning a 3 year old (girl) birthday party?

rebecca c

My daughter is turning 3 at the end of the month. The party is going to be small but I want it to be a memorable birthday for her. I am going to make her a barbie birthday cake but not sure of the party favors or games. So far the only game that comes to mind is pin the tale on the donkey. (Need ideas for a few more games). As far as ideas for party favors, the kids who will be invited will be 2, 3, 1, and 6 - all boys except for a girl (my daughter's 3 year old cousin).
I guess I should have said this before. Even though I'm having a barbie cake for Shelby, it's not going to be a "barbie party". I let Shelby pick out what kind of cake she wanted, she picked Barbie. Really surprised she didn't pick Spiderman LOL. With more boys than girls coming, I don't want to do a big girly theme. Just a big day of fun.
Thanks everybody for all the advice and links!

3 year old birthday party?

Proud Momm

My daughter will be turning 3 and we've began to think about birthday preparations. Were just planning a small get together at home with only close family, but she is having the hardest time deciding on what to do her party in lol. She loves the Little Einstein's, Olivia The Pig, The Backyardigans, The Wonder Pets, Dora and Diego, and so on....she is driving me nuts wanting all of them and of course she doesn't get that it can be just one lol. How did you decide on a birthday party theme once your toddler got old enough to tell you what her or she wanted?

Its just going to be cake, ice cream, and gifts from family..nothing major because were taking her to an indoor water park as her gift from us. I know that a party theme isn't a "big deal", but still, I want her to feel involved.
We've been looking at decorations and characters online..maybe it would help if I took her to an actual party store. Thanks.
