OH GOODNESS...... so, my daughter is... less than girly.... she asked for horses and monsters for christmas. she especially asked santa for a "horsey".
her favorite thing to play is "monsters" and she likes to pretend the beast from beauty and the beast is attacking us, or that she's the beast, or that i'm the beast, or a monster.... i got her a couple of hairy monsters for christmas and she's slept with them every night so far.
so, there's the background info on my tomboy. her third birthday is jan 20. i was planning on a butterfly tea party this year, and i asked her what she thought about that. a nice, girly, delicate, not-over-used theme. i get tired of the usual princess stuff, so i thought this would be great.
NO. she wants a MONSTER tea party.
seriously?
now, i don't know how many of you all have or remember 3 year olds, and i don't know if mine is an "average" child, but, she WILL remember and she WILL notice if this party is not a "MONSTER TEA PARTY."
AND SHE WILL BE UPSET.
and, well, it IS her party... so...
WHAT ON EARTH DO I DO HERE? i've custom-requested several things on etsy (because, honestly, how many "monster tea party" themed birthday party items are there going to be at walmart?), so here's what i have so far. i'm mixing girly monsters with monster-ey tea party stuff:
this is going to be her shirt and party invitation, with a bow on the monster's horn and a pink background where the orange in the circle is, and the monster will be holding a tea pot instead of a cup cake:

these will be some cupcakes, mixed in with some tea pot-like cupcakes, possibly purple paper bottoms with colorful (orange, green maybe) tea pot cupcake fondant or paper toppers:

i've suprisingly got the party favors already! they will be in some MONSTER sized tea-bag look-alikes and they are these:

http://www.lorisparties.com/Monster-Pop-Up-Party-Favors-set-.item
i think i will have it go along like a tea party, monster style. i may do mis-matched tea cups from good will or a thrift store or something... and i think a fun thing to have them do would be to make their own cookies for the food part (like, just have some sugar cookie dough and let the kids cut out some shapes and i'll bake them, then just serve them with the food and without icing)
some food stuffs i've come up with are: monster cookies (SOO GOOD!) mini bagels, some nice, healthy, kid-friendly herbal tea, and some miniature sandwiches.
i'm open to any ideas whatsoever, in any department!
so, what kind of games and decorations could anyone suggest for a monster tea party themed 3 year old birthday party?
lol... PLEASE HELP!?!?
