I’ve been to a few birthday parties….and have had a few as well!  Goodie bags are always fun for the kids, but after awhile it’s the same thing over and over.  Don’t get me wrong, I like the candy every now and then too!!!!!  We try to keep it age appropriate and within a budget.  For Ava’s little playgroup party last week we did a craft….and what fun we all had!  I went with the foamie art from Hobby Lobby.  They made door hanger things, spelled out their names and decorated with princess stuff for the girls and airplanes/trains/race cars/etc for boys.  What a great alternative!  Last year, a friend told me that she received a little wooden stool (painted with her sons name) as the “goodie bag”.  If you have the time to paint each one individually, more power to you!!!!  But still a great alternative!!!  Maybe at Aden’s birthday party in November the kids can make a chirstmas ornament or something?!?!?!?
