Finally, an easy party. Unicorns are awesome so having a unicorn birthday party was easy! Using our party planning guide, this party is a HUGE success.

Theme This year, we went away from a specific character, simply because she’s growing up. She wanted something “timeless.” I’m not kidding….her words! So she went with everyone’s favorite mystical creature – the Unicorn!  Location She had so much fun last year at her sleepover, she asked for another one. Reluctantly, I said “yes but this is the last BIG one!” She had 8 of her friends and allowed her sister to invite 2 little ones. 12 – that means there were twelve 6-9 year old GIRLS in my house, at one time…..that was too many. But we survived and I can honestly say I WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN! 3-4 girls – FINE! 12 – NOPE!  Date The date was a little tricky this year because Thanksgiving break was changed due to our hurricane issues, so we did the party the weekend BEFORE her actual birthday. Saturdays are always best to do sleepovers. Parents don’t feel rushed. Sundays tend to be laid back days for most, so no one is chaotic picking up the kids. Although, Friday might be better for getting them to sleep!  Invitations Now – don’t fall over – but I did not use Etsy for her invitations this year. I know….it felt VERY wrong…but it seems like the older they get, the less important the paper invites are. Besides, at 9 – if you don’t know her friends parents – you probably should. So I used something I have used before, with amazing success EVITE.com The best part? I didn’t have to wait for Moms and Dads to call. They just click the RSVP button and it came right to me! You send the invite to their phones! Hence, the comment “if you don’t know the parents of their friends, you probably should.” Especially at this age, it is really important that you know their friends and the families of those friends. They are very easily influenced and morals can come into question….. Decorations For decorations, we did balloons and some really cool little plates…guess where I found them? DUH! Target! Another trick I learned this year…..blow up your own balloons with this tank. I learned a trick from the last sleepover – don’t waste your money on organic juice boxes – the kids will drink a million of them and they are still high on sugar. So – this year – we went with Hawaiian Punch and plastic cups. How, you might ask, does that make more sense? Easy. Label maker! Make labels for all the children, stick it to the cups, and its there until the end of time….or the next morning. We used them as part of our goody bags too!  Food Food was going to be hard since there were sooooo many little people. BUT what does every kid like? PIZZA! I just ordered a few large pizzas from our favorite pizza place, had them delivered, and set out some unicorn birthday party themed snacks.  Menu Frozen Yogurt Cubes Supplies Directions Unicorn Pretzel Horns Supplies Directions Games My favorite part of EVERY party is the games. I love to find things that will keep them entertained for more than 10 minutes. Pin the Tail on the Unicorn So the birthday girl is a pretty good drawer – an Ar-tee-st if you will. Using her plates as her guide, she drew the unicorn on the poster board. Each child made their own horn using metallic markers and plain white paper. If you want to make it easier, you can print the horn from a website and just have them color the horn, but again….I’m looking for TIME WASTERS!!!! Unicorn Horn Toss Supplies Directions After a few hours of partying, the girls got PJs on, brushed their teeth and returned to the living room – ready to watch a movie. The birthday girl had already decided that she wanted to watch Incredibles 2. We made several bags of popcorn and hoped for the best! Goody Bags The next morning, everyone got a unicorn Pop-Tart and a goody bag. We put paper straws, unicorn erasers, unicorn memo pads and the previously mentioned plastic cups inside the bags, and wished everyone on their merry way!  We all survived……and there will STILL NEVER be another sleepover birthday party in this house!  How do you feel about sleepovers? Would you plan your own unicorn birthday party? Happy Party Planning,
