A Knight Birthday Party. That's what he wanted. I did my best.
I used the masks as decorations.
The sword was a birthday gift.
These tunics were so easy to make.
Knights and Princesses.
They decorated shields and hats.

Opening Presents.
It took me a few years to figure out that opening presents at the birthday parties wasn't going very well. Usually the birthday child was crowded and mauled with presents being shoved in their face by the anxious givers who wanted them to open theirs next. Sometimes they were so anxious, they would open it for them! It became a mosh-pit of presents and wrapping paper with toys flying all over the place. Two minutes later all the gifts had been opened and I had no idea who had given what.
I have found two solutions:
1. Spin the bottle
Birthday child spins it. Whoever it lands on gets to give their gift.
2. Present your present to the King (pictured here).
Birthday child calls someone's name and that child bows before the king and presents their gift. They then get to sit next to him while he opens it. NO ONE is allowed in the Kings circle unless their name has been called. It worked out fabulously! The kids loved it.
