An American Girl Birthday Bash

Since all three of my daughters have an April birthday, we celebrate them all with one big spring par-tay! They love American Girl dolls and so do their friends, so we thought we would celebrate the American Girl way. We did AG crafts, played relay races and just enjoyed a day with our dolls. We even served the dolls their own sandwiches and peiti-fours. It was perfect!

• Desserts

  Cupcakes and a sweet station!

• Party Favors

  The kids all decorated an American Girl treasure box and made a bracelet and necklace which they took home along with an AG gift bag filled with a mini AG book, AG stickers, notebook and mini doll food and paper goods.

• Activities / Games

  We played several relay races that the girls could do with their dolls. We divided into three teams of ten and raced to pin clothes on the clothesline. The first team to have all the clothes in their hamper hung was the winner. The second relay required each girl to race with their doll in a stroller to a marked spot and back. The winning team was the first team to have all 10 players back in line. The last relay required each girl to pull a card from a bucket that had different tasks for them to complete. Each bucket had the same required to task for each team to finish such as, singing happy birthday to the birthday girl, dancing a funny jig for 30 sec., crab walking to the clothes line and back, swapping their dolls clothes with someone elses, etc.

• Budget

  $2,500
