Getting to know you night

I told the girls to bring 3-5 items from home that describe them, their talents and interests, in a bag so that no one could see what they brought.
I had the refreshements set up in one room to start the night, and we then made our way to the another room for the rest of the night.
I had a sign on the entrance table instructing the girls to leave their bag of items there.
I had some name tags so that everyone would know everyone elses name
(which would come in handy later).
I made a bunch of owl ornaments for each sister to take home with them as a party favor
For the refreshments I got a little cheesy and did owl cupcakes, which are all over pinterest.
I didn't LOVE this idea, cause it is a bit cheesy, but thought that regular old cupcakes would be boring, so I did it!
While the girls were eating and visitng, I was in the other room setting up all their items on display.
I grouped them together and numbered them.
We then went around and guessed who brought what.
This is where the name tags came in handy, in case there were girls who did not know eachother.
I created a list for each of them to write their guesses on.
After everyone was done looking through the items and making their guesses, I had each girl in order, come up and describe the items they brought and why.
The girl that got the most correct got a prize.

I made some pumpkin cookies, that turned out flat and blah, and since I only used one side of each oreo for the owls, I cut the pumpkin cookies in circles the same size as the oreo and sandwiched them together using frosting to keep them together and dusted them with powdered sugar. I am not sure how they turned out cause I didn't try them, but that was just a last minute concoction.
