P.S. My husband went to get the pizzas and there was no "organizing" them into stacks...the girls bombarded him and we just started throwing slices on plates and they were grabbing it. Also, permanent markers come in handy to put their names on their drinks and have them leave those on the kitchen counter to cut down on spillage. We also played "dance freeze" where they freeze when the music stops. :)

I had 2 crafts ready for the girls and they were simple...they all enjoyed them and some girls wanted to make more than one of each craft which was fine. The crafts were: 1) Foam Door Knob Signs - they used different colors of permanent markers to write their names or messages (shhh, studying, no boys allowed, etc.) and small foam stars, hearts, etc. to decorate their door knob signs. 2) "Fancy" Pony Tail Holders - I bought regular pony tail holders and some sheer ribbon (?1/2 inch wide)...they could cut the ribbon into about 6 inch pieces and tie pieces of ribbon onto their ponytail holder(s) to make any color combinations they wanted
