My parents were awesome party-throwers and I've hosted numerous theme parties for adults--second childhood, Shakespearean evening, winter beach bash, 1940s--and for my daughter--farm, jungle, Valentines and this one. I suspect this party is the one she'll remember all her life. It's a legacy I hope she continues!Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263988256560129564.post-27175473275399004512012-02-20T21:52:29.569-05:002012-02-20T21:52:29.569-05:00I've never thrown a theme party, but I remembe...I've never thrown a theme party, but I remember my sister had a morning-time theme party for her 12th birthday. Her friends came over in the morning (I guess it was like brunch time) in their pajamas, bathrobes, and slippers. Some girls went all out and had curlers in their hair, used make-up to make dark circles under their eyes, and brought their favorite pillows and teddy bears. My parents made all breakfast foods and there was even a waffle birthday cake! I can't remember what the games were (I was only 6 at the time). I remember it was a cool party, though!<br /><br />I love this Harry Potter party idea. I hope everyone had a magical time!Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13934230198562773803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263988256560129564.post-51973036101695227922012-02-20T16:39:31.990-05:002012-02-20T16:39:31.990-05:00it definitely is a time-saver.

She really wants the components to build a radio-controlled snitch so muggle quidditch isn't quite so "lame" to use her terms. :-)Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263988256560129564.post-58272284239263936552012-02-16T17:17:46.912-05:002012-02-16T17:17:46.912-05:00Here's hoping the planned activities fit the a...Here's hoping the planned activities fit the amount of time scheduled!
