We used bright markers to handwrite the invitations, and reminded her friends to bring their fav doll to the party. To: Your American Girl or other favorite doll Inside, we added a tiny little invitation (clip up a few other notecards) that said: We used notecards with bright colors that I’d found on sale ($0.69 for 8) and stashed away.
I used the additional cake mix to make cupcakes and decorated those with picks ($0.29 on the sale rack at Michael’s), adding stickers ($3.59 for a nice generous pack, also from Michael’s) to each side. Added a mini-Am Girl Doll (her current fav, Kit, $22 at the AG store) and the tiny book and did a little with decorating icing. I made a 9″ x 13″ marble cake with chocolate icing. It fits nicely between our pillars near our front door. And a Pottery Barn banner I got years ago that was worth the $29. I have a bright balloon flag that goes out front for all the kids parties. For this one, I used lots of red and stars, with hanging stars, red balloons (coupon so they were $.06 each at Party City), red table cloths. I’m continually on the lookout for party decorations and other items. Outside of the American Girl Doll store (which would’ve broken my party budget), it’s tough to find items. Then start collecting ideas and supplies.
But even now, it makes me smile to think that was her current passion.) Whatever it may be! (Last year we did a dog party for Caroline. This was an American Girl Doll party for Caroline, our now 8-year-old sweetie.Īs you’ve seen, I go with a theme that reflects the birthday child’s interests at that time.
