Placemat Invitations Create some clever invitations for your next Cookin' Up Fun Party! Find some colorful paper placemats at your local party store and turn them into invitations. Just fold each placemat into quarters, making sure the colored side is on the outside, and write the party details on the inside. It's a great way to get the party started!

Living Room Cafe Let your kids dine out...without having to go out! Transform your living room into a restaurant by setting up small tables and chairs. Cover the tables with paper tablecloths, silverware, napkins and plastic goblets. You can even create centerpieces with small bouquets of helium balloons popping out of kitchen pots, bowls or measuring cups. Voila! You've got your very own living room café.

Chef Hats Every aspiring chef needs a chef's hat! Before the party starts, set up a table with glitter pens, markers, stickers, tape, silk flowers and white paper chef's hats (available at your local party store). When the kids arrive, direct each of them to the table to decorate their very own chef's hat to wear during the party!
