How to throw a puppy party:
Decorations
Hit the $Spot at Target for cute dog items.
Invitations
Cardstock and a little "origami" skill!
Activities
Let each child adopt a puppy from the "Rescue Shelter."
and groom their new dogs at the grooming station.
Craft
Make beaded collars
with shrinky-dink dog tags
for your new pets.
Games
Have a Bone Scavenger Hunt,
and play "Trainer" Says.
Food
For the kids:
Hot dogs, puppy chow, Scooby snacks, and cocoa puffs served in new dog bowls UNDER the table.
For the adults: all of the above, and tomato-mozarella-basil skewers served ON the table.
Cake
You are on your own!
(I made this one a day ahead in case I had to hit the grocery store bakery for a backup!)
But it turned out okay!
Treatbags
(or in this case, "doggie bags"!)
Inside: a mix CD of dog songs, a "dog" whistle, a candy (necklace) collar , Scooby snacks, and a heart pillow that says "I woof you."
Add all together and get one happy birthday girl!

None of you saw the exocist mom moment before the party.... head spinning and everything.
in a million years... when I have kids... and they have birthdays... can I hire you to do their parties? :) or at least give me a "bday parties for dummies" guide???
I love that I have you on retainer...and you are so reasonably priced!! The party looked fabulous! We may have to copycat in December!!
