It’s a PJ Party!!

My daughter wanted to have a PJ party for her 6th birthday! This was a great way to have a “fake sleepover” for little ones not quite ready for staying overnight (or for Mamas who aren’t quite ready for that!)

The girls arrived in their PJs at 5 p.m. to deocrate their own pillow case with fabric markers. For dinner, we served fruit cups, raw veggies and pizza. After dinner, we played some fun games to get the girls moving; pass the pillow (whomever got out was able to pick a prize), bingo (all the words had to do with a sleepover birthday party) and freeze dance (we saw some “moves like Jagger”).

Cupcakes were followed by popcorn and a “Strawberry Shortcake Sweet Dreams” movie. I didn’t want to send the kids home too wound up! Their loot bags consisted of a star wand, hair ties, a friendship bracelet and a star sugar cookie. Each girl also took home a box that had homemade blueberry muffins and juice for breakfast the next morning.

I still can’t believe I have a six year old! Happy birthday to a sweet and wonderful daughter that brightened our world 6 years ago.  You are a true miracle. Mommy and Daddy love you!

Credits: The color scheme we chose was yellow and blue, to represent the moon and stars. All of the plates, napkins, cups, straws, loot bags, boxes, twine, cupcake liners and lanterns were purchased online at the TomKat Studio Shop. Please go and check this website out! They have a fabulous selection and their prices are extremely reasonable. The cupcake stands were designed for the The Cake Girls in Chicago and should be available for sale on their site soon!
