Mix and Match Birthday Themes


What kind of party do you plan for a child with diverse tastes and interests? How about mixing and matching themes.

The Lil Diva (9) discovered soccer this year. She bugged me for years to play, but each time it came to sign ups, she bowed out. This year, we made it through sign ups and she loves the game. She's also very quick, so once she gets down all the rules of the game, she'll be a powerful player.

She knew she wanted a soccer theme for her party, but since it was at night and it's cold out now, we struggled to come up with sports related activities for the kids. So, we mixed her soccer theme with a tea party for the girls and their American Girl dolls.


In addition to the snacks, we served sandwiches. Then after presents the girls had tea with their cake. The dolls were their guests.

We all had a fun time. And the best part, even though it was the weekend before Thanksgiving, most of my cleaning is done for tomorrow, so all I have to do is wash the kitchen floor.
