For Rory's first birthday last August, we did an Alice in Wonderland themed tea party. We held it at her doggie daycare, and I think it was fun time for all. We had Alice themed trivia for the "parents". The dogs had races, played a version of musical chairs (we used doilies taped to the ground instead of chairs), and the grand finale was a pinata that dumped out mini tennis balls (Rory's favorite toy) when it cracked. We also gave out "medals" to the winners of the different events. The daycare provided the doggie friendly cake, which was a bone shape. We did goodie bags for all the dogs (10 plus of her closest pals) that included a dog bowl that had "Drink Me" handpainted on it, a dog cookie from the local doggie bakery that said "Eat Me" (both takeoff of Alice in Wonderland), a collar charm, and bubbles (trying to keep with the theme). Okay, I got carried away...now we have to find out a way to top it with her second birthday! |
