Are you a Catholic Mom looking to throw a fun and unique birthday party for your child? Here are three ideas!
The Be Yourself Scrapbook Party!
Perfect for girls in “Middle School” and for girls who love crafts!
Perfect for girls in “Middle School” and for girls who love crafts!
The back of the Be Yourself Journal was left blank purposefully. Directions inside the book guide the owner to design the back cover to reflect her personality – and using Scrapbooking materials, stickers and holy cards are highly encouraged!
What you will need:
Be Yourself Journals (1 for each party guest) . These are perfect for party favors! They double as the activity and the favor!
A basket of holy cards
(I tend to get these for free in the mail all the time, you can also ask around. Sometimes people have no use for them, but feel bad throwing them out. )
Glue and Scissors
How to party:
Set up a table with a Be Yourself Journal as each setting.
Have supplies in the middle of the table “family style”.
Instruct the guests as they come in to find a place to sit. Each guest can explore the supplies and choose some scrapbooking paper to cover the back of their journal with; they should also choose one holy card that will be placed at the center of her back cover.
Guests can begin to paste the scrapbooking paper on the back cover and create their canvas.
Next, the holy card should be placed at the center.
After the canvas is created and the holy card is glued to the middle, encourage the girls to decorate around the holy card with inspiring quotes, stickers, photos, words/their name, etc.
In the middle, offer a snack. We did this as a mini-retreat and the hosting mom made chicken nuggets and mac and cheese. She also had Capri Suns out for drinks.
When the girls are finished creating, here are some more ideas for entertaining:
One – have them share their beautiful work! Let them say why they chose the holy card they used, what quotes and pictures they decorated with and what their most favorite aspect of their back cover is!
Two – tell them to turn to the “Would you rather” page. This is a great party activity! Have them fill it out then asked the questions out loud and let them share their answers, or ask them to raise their hands if they picked “pick flowers” or “pick pumpkins”. They really enjoy this!
