Conestoga Wagon Centerpiece
For the party we made the kitchen table look like a Conestoga wagon. (Sometimes I wonder about my ideas!!!) It was fun but, it took some planning. We made the frame out of pvc pipe. We covered it with muslin and added plastic wagon wheels. We used the bandanas as a table cloth. We used an old boot as a flower vase. We made a boot cake and decided that the children's "signature cake" would be cupcakes. We made the cupcakes look like little bales of hay. All in all it was a great party.

The Triplets' 6th Birthday Invitation
I printed the invitation on cream colored card stock using a calligraphy font. It was a Letter of Marque.

Around the edge of the invitation I tore the paper and burnt it. These were rolled up and sent in a bottle (I got the bottles at party city).

First page of Passport
There was a place for the childs photo. They filled in last name, first name, date of birth and gender. I also added date of issue and date of expiration (the date of the party). The next page was an Itinerary of the Archeological Expedition to Machu Picchu with the information about the party. The triplets used the names Missouri Nick, Louisiana Hannah and Arizona Sam.
Second Page of Passport
This was a history of Machu Picchu I typed. At the end I mentioned the Rosales University reached an agreement regarding an expidition on August 2, 2008 by Missouri Nick, Louisiana Hannah, and Arizona Sam to Machu Picchu to search for treasure and artifacts. The following page was a map of South America showing Machu Picchu.
Third Page of Passport
This is the statement which the children signed. The following page was Visas. This page was stamped when the children completed a task and found clues for treasure.
Adventure to Machu Picchu: Birthday ideas and how-to's
The triplet's 7th birthday party was an adventure to Machu Picchu. An "Indiana Jones" theamed party. I sent out passport invitations. The guest had to fill them out, insert their picture and bring them to the party. The party was at our church's gym. We had set up three stations where the kids performed tasks and received stamps in their passports. They also had to find keys at each station that would open a special treasure chest for each group. It was in place of a pinata. When the guest arrived they checked in and received their party favors which were "Indiana Jones" fedora hats, and canteens. They were divided into three groups. Each group started at a different station at the same time. Then they switched to the next station as a group. Once each group had been through the three stations and had their keys they used them to open their treasure chest. After that we had lunch and then cake and ice cream. See pictures for further ideas and how-to's.
Treasure Chests
The children were divided into three teams. Each team had to complete tasks and find keys that would unlock their groups treasure chest. We did this instead of a pinata.

Personalized Beach Towel Party Favors
I found beach towels on sale and bought enough for each guest. I cut their names out of freezer paper to make a stencil. After I washed the towels I ironed on the freezer paper stencil. Then the kids used spray fabric dye to stencil each child's name on their towel. See the slide show for further information.
