Hi to all you lovely people out there,

my dd is quite girly, has any one got any ideas on decorating the hall, ie balloons, confetti, party strings, best place to buy, i have looked on ebay. anyone got any novel ideas on table decorating, food table and guest tables, lst remembered still have no cake. thankyou to anyone who will reply.

Just a few of ideas:

Put disposable cameras on all the tables for guests to take pictures then you collect them up at the end and you will have a load of memories for your daughter to keep.

Send a pretty blank note book around and all ask all the guests to sign and write a little note to your daughter.

And also have pictures of your daughter from birth onwards (maybe baby pic, first day a school etc etc ) enlarged and put them up on the walls of the party venue for her and all the guests to look at. You could do this by either putting them up randomly over the walls or you could make up a board of picture memories and take it with you to put up.

If she is girli does she have a favourite colour? If so then it would be nice to have all accessories, decorations, plates etc in her favourite colour.

Lastly make sure the music is exactly what she wants, maybe even send request slips for music to her friends.

Oh and if you have a cost co card or know someone who has or you could join, the cakes are very big and only £10.99 and you can have whatever you want written on them.

If you are doing your own catering you will get lots of help from the old style board.

Why not take up the idea here

to find the number one song each year on her birthday and make a CD of "her" songs. I think this is a fabulous idea (will certainly be taking advantage of it next year for Mr P's Ruby wedding anniversary...and then 6 months later for my parents 40th anniversary) - I think it is a brilliant idea!!

I hope your dd has a wonderful birthday!
