OK so here's what I've planned down to timing, and hoping things run smoothly so the schedule can be followed to keep the fun flowing..
11.00am - Party starts
11.15am - Pin the pirate on his treasure
(11.30am - Game finish - move kids onto next game)
11.35am - Shape treasure Hunt game
(11.55am - Finish game up and get table ready for food time)
12.00pm - Food time
(12.20pm - get kids to put plates in the bin, finish up eating)
12.25pm - Another game
12.45pm - Cake
1.00pm - Party Finished
Decided not to do craft...
Loot bag items I have so far :party:
Pirate ball - $1.99each
Pirate bracelet - 40cents each ($1.99 for 5)
Pirate note book - 33cents each ($1.99 for 6)
Pirate party horn - 25cents each ($1.99 for 8)
Pirate balloon - 13cents each ($1.99 for 15)
So far each bag has cost $3.10.
Also have some pirate sticker sheets I was going to cut up and add a few to the bags.
Want to grab a few more things - rubber duckies and finger puppets.....and some gold coins (chocolate), or maybe what I have is enough????
I have prizes for the games - but not sure if that's a wise idea!!!
Prizes:smiliedance:
Pirate stationery (pencil, stickers, 4 skull erasers).
Pirate compressed towel
(There was something else but cant remember at moment)
Also have Pirate patches for the kids to wear if they dont dress up! And some pirate tattoos...
Food :chef:
Mini Quiches
Home-made chicken nuggets
Meat balls
Dips and vegie dippers
How's that sound?? Any suggestions???
I'm new to this 'others kids around' party thing, havent been to a kids party in many many years!
It's a dress up party too...
Now the 'kids' party starts at 11am, I was then going to have the family party guests arrive at 12pm, so are there for the cake, but not there for the 'kids' party as they have young kids and others are old... Have just sausages on bbq around 1.30pm. Has anyone done that?? Was it too much distraction??
