Rosieben I think sometimes he is a teenage girl he certainly is a one off!!:rotfl:

Some fantastic ideas thankyou everyone!

I will definitely let you know how it goes, keep an eye out end of April for the post with the title...

I agree with pizz and cips - lots of 4 yr olds don't like fancy stuff. Try and fid where he got the idea from so you knwo you understand what he means - quite an unusual choice.
Good luck - you could have battery candles?

what a fantastic idea - love him!

Already had some great suggestions - how about making it a retro resturant and going round with the dessert trolley??

maybe some tiny table gift/ place settings instead of a party bag (if pennies will stretch to it)

I can not help thinking about the restaurants that do children's party's with balloons tied to the chairs and a picture to colour with crayons while they wait. the special cake with sparklers and the lollipop at the end.

Picked him up from school today and gave him some of your suggestions and he is SO excited about them!!! Bless him,

Loving the idea of balloons on chairs and gifts at the table instead of party bags:j

I REALLY DISLIKE PARTY BAGS!!!!!!!:p

I'm going to have a hunt about for table decs in the £ shop as for a menu he'd like dips and soup and meatballs and chicken nuggets and potato and mushrooms and chips please!!!:rotfl:

Then he'd like to go the the country park and have ice cream or ice lollies!

I'm beginning to get into this now!!!!!!

If you can beg borrow or steal a laminator then making place mats is a really nice activity. Just print off a template (there are loads on line) and then give them pens and stickers to decorate it with. Once they are done, laminate it so that they can wipe it clean after dinner and take it home.

hi great idea sounds fun to add a small idea if you put a smal bit of different food colouring in each plastic wine glass you can make magic drinks as you pour each one will be a different colour the kids are so impressed with this

Blue Elephant & Meritaten What lovely things to say thank you!:heart2:

Well.... as far as prep goes we've started to put a menu together. Auntie and auntie's boyfriend have been roped in as chief waiting staff (experience essential, sense of humour desirable)

DS has chosen the friends he'd like to invite, I said 5 and he chose his step brother as one of those which leaves his brother and step sister, I have decided they ought to be staff (just to keep the theme) So step-daughter aged 9 and littlest son will be head maid and Butler complete with outfits - I'm really hoping the maid pulls a cinderella moment just to add to the authenticity......:rotfl:

So far that is as far as I have got but it should all be good fun, I'll keep you posted and please keep the ideas coming!!!!

Thank you all Mx :T
