DD1 has requested an "at home" party this year negotiated down from a sleepover
I'm sure I'm missing something though. This is the plan: (by the way, not in UK, and it's winter here, so outside play not an option)
Total 14 7yo girls oh dear god help me
Time: 2:30 - 4:00
Frozen theme (DD is obsessed, she doesn't know I'm making the party a "Frozen Party")
Kids arrive, do some dancing and general playing. DH is in charge of decor - he has plans involving paper snowflakes and fairy lights.
Once everyone has arrived: games: pin the nose on Olaf, musical statues, etc etc
About 3:15 party food
Sandwiches
Cupcakes
Fruit skewers
Biscuits
(Maybe jelly and icecream)
Popcorn
"Olaf noses" (baby carrots)
Then cake
(Almost all the food with have to be home made/baked as DD2 has dairy and egg allergies and I'd like to not have to stress about her getting things she isn't allowed have, which will truly ruin the party).
After cake, more dancing, maybe one more game. DD has made noises about a piñata so DH may be looking into that.
All go home at 4:00 and I collapse in a heap with a large gin.
But I feel like I'm missing something. The party is 10 days away.
Any expert advice gladly welcomed. I thought of doing something crafty with them at some stage...
Oh sod it, and party bags too. There will have to be party bags, won't there?
