| SUGAR AND SPICE TREASURE HUNT: The hostess hides a jewelry box full of old fashioned costume jewelry (brooches, necklaces, bracelets, etc.) – the perfect fashion accessories for the dress up game. Then, provide riddles or poems to help the children figure out where the items are hid. Each clue takes them to another, and to another, and so on. For example, a starting clue could be something like: “Welcome ladies, a treasure you will find, if you follow all the clues that I have left behind. Ring! Ring! Hello? If you need to find the phone, where would you go?” Of course the guests will head straight to the nearest phone where another clue tag hangs waiting for them. Other clue hiding locations could be in plants, under chairs, behind pictures, in the garden, anywhere inside or outside that you can think of. Make the clues easy enough the guests can find them quickly and have enough clues to run around having fun. Finally, have them find the jewelry box and then they can all put on jeweled accessories to go with their hats and dresses! Or, alternatively, you can have various plastic gems, trims, and other shiny decorative items in the jewelry box and then have basic wood cutouts with jewelry pins attached on the back of them. The guests can design their own jeweled treasures by gluing stones, trims, laces, and other shiny items onto the wooden shape cutouts. Each guest then has a great keepsake of theSugar and Spice Tea Party afternoon. Once they have their proper accessories, it is time for the fashion show. Put on some music, create a run way and watch them model their fashions. Taking digital pictures will allow you to send each of the young ladies home with pictures of their modeling debut. Lots more

Sugar and Spice MENU IDEAS |
|
Sugar and Spice conjure up images of sweet innocence and good memories. This makes Sugar and Spice an ideal theme for a girl’s Birthday party. Decorations of pink and purple, with lots of sparkle and shine are a must. But parties cannot function on pretty decorations alone. A Sugar and spice menu will help keep the guest of honor and her friends celebrating long past their bedtime.
With a theme of sugar and spice, one great menu idea is to have a cookie bar. Make sure to have sugar cookies, snicker doodles and ginger cookies. For a fun treat add a lemon cooler to the mix to add an extra flare of sugar.
Making lemon coolers for a sugar and spice party is a cinch once the following ingredients are gathered: one cup butter, ½ cup sugar, 1 ½ tablespoons lemon zest, grated, one egg yolk, one teaspoon lemon extract, ¼ teaspoon salt, 2 ½ cups flour, all-purpose. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Using electric mixer, cream butte in medium bowl until light. Gradually add 1/2 c sugar and beat until fluffy, stopping, occasionally to scrape down sides of bowl. Beat in lemon peel, yolk, extract and salt, Add flour and beat just until blended (if dough is very stiff, beat with a wooden spoon). Roll dough by tablespoonfuls into balls. Set dough balls on ungreased heavy baking sheets, spacing 3 inches apart. Dip bottom of 2-1/2 inch round glass into sugar. Press down onto 1 dough ball, flattening into 1/4 inch thick round. Repeat with remaining dough balls. Bake until cookie edges begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks and cool. Sift powdered sugar over the tops.
Having a cookie bar at a sugar and spice party will fill the need of all sweet tooths! By just adding even one simple food item to the menu will help create
a complete Sugar and Spice theme party feeling. |
