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.

Ideas for a 3 year old Spongebob Party?

marineband

Not sure if I want to have it inside or out... I was thinking of making Krabby Patties and have bubbles. Anyone ever make a spongebob cake? Thanks!

Answer
My daughter turned 3 early this month and we had a SpongeBob party. It was fun! We first made the invitations, we aged paper with coffee and then printed the invitations, wrinkled them and then rolled them up and tied them with green raffia (Seaweed).

This is what is said...

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 girls birthday party?

fallen dar

My daughter will be turning 3 in June and was in need of some ideas for the theme. Its goin to be a pool party I have done the tinker bell theme and the disney princess'. Is there any other themes I could do? Thanks for the help!

Answer
since ur having a pool party, why don't u do a little mermaid/ beach theme?
u could decorate the pool area and ur home like it was under the sea.
if there are going to be more younger kids, make sure u have plenty of adults to supervise the pool.

here are some ideas for invitations. i'm sure u can find cute, inexpensive ones at a party store.

what are some good ideas for a 10 year olds birhtday party?

birthday party invitations 3 year old image

chelsea

my 10 year old sister is having a birthday party and its ganna be held at our house. shes inviting like 7-10 of her girl friends and i was ganna do their hair and makeup..but i mean, what else should we do? pictures? ideas?

Answer
This is just a cute quick idea for anybody probably ages 10-teen The night before you are hosting your party go to the supermarket and buy a bunch of icecream and a bunch of toppings.INVITATIONS- Anything colorful and creative:You probably want to involve something with icecream on the invite. If the kids are younger you might want to tell them to bring old clothing. Before the party fill a spacious room with 2-3 tables and you put disposable table cloths onto each table.Depending on how many kids there are that is how many tables you will need. On each table put any size pan but all the pans should be the same size. On each table put 2-3 tubs of any flavor ice cream the kids enjoy. Put the same amount and the same kinds of icecream toppings on the table and appliances (like spoons plastic or not)When the kids arrive (at about five) dont let them in that particular room yet because you will want to keep it a surprise for the other kids or your kid if it is a surprise. Have everyone gather into a different room than the one with the tables and just let them hang out until 5:15. After that if you have a pool let them swim for about an hour.(until 6:20) and then have them come in for dinner (pizza or anything you want it depends on how everyone likes food or what kinds of food they like)After dinner it will probably be about 6:45-6:50 and gather the kids into the room with the tables and split them into 2-3 teams depending on how many kids are coming. Tell them they have a certain amount of time to make an ice cream cake(I'D SAY ABOUT 45 MINUTES)at the end of those 45 minutes everyone will vote for which cake is more good looking and that will be the cake they have for the persons birthday. When thats done at about 7:50 let the kids get dressed again and take them outside at eight where there will be music and a bar with drinks like soda and lemonade whatever the kids like and snacks if you want you can make up fake money for the kids to purchase that kind of stuff. Dance the night away until about eleven go inside and open your gifts and at eleven thirty change back into your bathing suit and go for a late night swim until 12:45 settle into a jacuzzi or go inside. When your inside change into your pjs. set up your sleeping bags pop in a movie and make popcorn and have a tiny piece of the other cake.play truth or dare or paint nails or do facials until everyone falls asleep. The first one to fall asleep will have a bunch of practical jokes played on them. In the morning have a breakfast buffet and you could swim again too. Give each girl a body lotion and lipgloss. Have their parents come at 12p.m.

Is it appropriate to request "no gifts, please" on my 3-year-old's birthday party invitation?

Q. I will be inviting about 20 children and their parents to my daughter's birthday party. Most of these children go to daycare with her, but the parents don't know each other very well. We always attend parties she is invited to but hate having no idea what to get for kids I don't know! I think I may be saving other parents that same feeling I have every time I open another invitation. Am I wrong?

Answer
I don't blame you- I wouldn't want 20 pieces of junk sitting around my house for me to clean up. Chances are your three-year old just got a bunch of toys for Christmas and doesn't need any more.

I would request, "You and your child's presence is the best present- No gifts, please" on the invitation just like that.

You may recieve gifts and you should send a thank you note for the gift because some people just can't show up without a little token gift.

Birthday Party Invitations for my going to be 3 yr old Nephew?

birthday party invitations 3 year old image

Tanya L

Does anyone know of any good sites that I can either order or make and print birthday party invitations for my soon to be 3 year old nephew? He loves lawn mowers and vacuum cleaners. :) Anything along those lines would be cute. Thanks!

Answer
Hi Tanya!

You could check Etsy.com or Ebay.com. Someone there might have something you are looking for.

I also custom create invitations for birthdays, etc and would love to do something along those lines. I don't have anything at the moment with those on it, but I could certainly do one for you. If you'd like to see some samples, email me and I'd come up with some design for you. My email - jsbutrfli@gmail.com. You can also take a look at my websites to see my work. Links below!

Whats a polite way to tell a friend they cant bring their daughter to a dinner party?

Julie

I already sent out the invitations and did not put "adults only" on it for fear that they will think its a party to get drunk, because thats the type of people they are. it is only adults coming and their child is a spoiled whiney bratty 3 year old. this kid disrupts the whole party with tantrums.
so whats a nice way to say adults only without seeming like an invitation to get smashed?

(the birthday party is at a restaurant and everyone is paying for themselves)

Answer
Call them on the telephone and tell them that you forgot to put "for adults only". If they say they cannot come then so be it, your party will still be a success without them.
