My daughter has already told her friends that she is having a princess party for her birthday. Does anyone have any unique ideas to put a new spin on it? I don't want to hire a character because her best friend just had Cinderella. Please help! I need ideas!
Answer
I had so much fun with my 3 year olds birthday party last month. We did the Dora theme... but you can do the same for a princess party.
I made personalized coloring books with my daughter's picture on front and each child's name. The second page has Dora songs and then I found coloring pages from the Internet and added approximately 10 pages to color and ended the coloring book with Dora's final song. I spiral bound the coloring book.
I ordered personalized candy and bubble wrappers from http://stores.ebay.com/CandyWrapperCottage and they came out so cute!
Dora music played in the background the entire time. I bought a lot of arts and crafts for the children to make, with the help of the adults, little backpacks and I added the map that I had already constructed for each child to their backpack. We rented a Dora spacewalk, which was out of their view and the map guided them in the direction of the spacewalk.
I had a three-tier cake made which was absolutely gorgeous. Oddly enough, Walmart made the cake and they did one heck of a job. It was basically a wedding cake but they created a Dora cake from it and like I said, it turned out beautiful. The cake was approximately 130 dollars.
The kids really enjoy the party, it has been almost a month, and we still have parents calling saying what a great time it was and asking me for ideas.
Maybe you could do something like this, but obviously with the princess theme and instead of a map from Dora, have a scroll with their mission. You can get arts and crafts making little tiaras for the girls and crowns for the boys.
Hope this helps!

Answer
Clothing for kids doesn't have to be high-dollar. I often shop consignment stores and yard sales. You can find name-brand clothes, barely worn (sometimes with tags still on) for a fraction of the retail price. Hand-me-downs aren't a bad thing! If you're passing boy clothes to a girl, you can add ruffles and ribbons to make them "girlier." Also, at the end of each clothing season, I shop the clearance racks for the next year.
For groceries, remember that it's often cheaper to buy generic than it is to buy name-brand with a coupon, and the generics are usually manufactured by the name-brand companies. If your grocery allows double coupons, take advantage of it, but only the the things you would normally have on your list anyway. Buy in bulk whenever possible. Avoid pre-portioned snacks, as they are far more expensive. You can put snacks in cheap baggies instead.
When it's time for school supplies, avoid the trendy notebooks and pencils. Instead, buy the less expensive plain ones and let your children decorate them however they choose. This can be a great back-to-school tradition for your family. You can purchase personalized pencils very cheaply through places like Oriental Trading Company. With backpacks, you're better off to make the initial investment for a good quality pack. I had one that lasted more than 8 years - through high school and out of college.
If your children are smaller, things like diapers can be terribly expensive. I've found that store brands work as well as name brands. This is true for most baby and toddler supplies, from wipes to bottles to shampoo.
Toys don't have to be fancy, either. You can make your own playdough and fingerpaints, and kids love it! Go to the library and enroll in summer reading programs for your child. Spend time outdoors and take advantage of public parks.
