my little pony party

When my daughter asked me ifcshe could have a "regular" party I had to ask her to clarify. Turns out she wanted a small party with a pinata, a pin the tail game and just plain playing! Wecheld her My Little Pony party last week. I didn't have a lot of time to plan so the simple theme worked well. I took advantage of all the commercial goods out there and went to town! The kids played, had an unicorn pinata and a pin the cutie mark on the pony game. I also used a face painting kit I had to paint cutie marks on their faces and there was a little craft I picked up for next to nothing at Michael's. The coup de tat was finding candy eyes, triangle and oval shaped candies in the cake decorating aisle! I decided the kids could decorate cupcakes like pony faces! It was such a hit and I saved a lot of money by making cupcakes myself. Check out the pictures!

My daughter is set on having a my little pony party. With my oldest daughter going off to college within 2 weeks of the younger daughters party I had planned on not doing much this year. However, I have changed plans. We I am throwing a very small party and with only a week left, I intend to keep it simple. Thankfully there are a lot of commercially available items for this theme. Activities will include a pinata, a pin the tail game, and making caramel apples. I plan giving the guests cutie marks too. The rest of the time will be spent playing. Stay tuned for photos. I am anxious to see how this comes together in a week's time!
