Planning Your Party
If possible, we suggest you begin planning your party 4-6 weeks in advance. This will provide plenty of time for online orders, mailing invitations game and craft preparations. If that's not possible, don't panic...you can still have a fabulous party, using this guide. Begin with matching
Polly Pocket party supplies. Then, add the party games, crafts and ideas provided below, along with your own personal touches to host the Polly Pocket party of your daughter's dreams!

POLLY POCKET INVITATIONS

Mail invitations 3-4 weeks in advance. Make your own Polly Pocket invitations using card stock paper and a flower cookie cutter for tracing. Trace the cookie cutter on the paper. Cut a small circle, or use a pom-pom, for the center for the flower. Trace the edges with glitter glue and write the party details on the back using a glitter gel pen.
"Hey Polly Pal, aren't birthdays totally cool?"
Please come to my fab-tastic Polly Pocket party
You can bring your favorite Polly Pocket if you want!"
For a special touch, hand deliver invitations tied to a lip gloss or nail polish.

DECORATING FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY
Create a festive mood using Polly World as your inspiration.
Decorate the table with matching party items. Hang plenty of balloons and streamers in bright colors; hot pink, purple, bright yellow and orange.
Fashion an easy party table centerpiece with a bouquet of balloons tied to a Polly pocket house or Polly Car. The toy will double as a birthday gift when the party is over! Add some of your own personal touches if you feel inclined; beanbag chairs, flower pillows, tissue flowers, posters etc.
Tips: Draping your furniture with fun fabric or sheets will add
to the decorations and protect your furniture as well!

Variation : Trying to minimize the amount of paper products you use at your next party, but you still want a matching theme table?
Cover your table with a white sheet, which is easy for stain removal.
Use a few of the party items your daughter wants, but hen add real glassware and a fresh flower centerpiece. Scatter sequins or matching candies down the center of the table. With your daughter's help, make flower napkin rings using 2 inch pieces of a paper towel tube. Wrap the rings in tissue paper and add flowers made with sticky backed craft foam.

POLLY POCKET PARTY GAMES AND ACTIVITIES
A Special Welcome
Upon arrival, give the girls a fun, but simple make-over with the help of  another adult/teen or two. You'll want to have enough help so that the waiting time is minimal. Then, let the girls select special hats, hair ties, jewelry or other Polly Pocket fashion statement!

MAKE AND TAKE BODY GLITTER
Girls can mix their own body glitter with this simple recipe.
You'll Need
cup aloe vera gel
fine polyester glitter (any color, available at most craft stores)
One small cosmetic travel container for each girl -the kind you might 
put hand cream in with a screw top.
To Make: Fill the containers 1/4 full with aloe gel. 
Pour a small amount of glitter in the container. Provide wood craft sticks or plastic coffee stir straws to the girls for mixing. Add more gel until the mix is complete. Close the lid. Decorate sticker labels with gel pens and attach it to the container.

Polly World Treasure Hunt
Before the party hide Polly Pocket dolls, pets, clothes, toys, cars, and accessories. Send the girls for a hunt to find the hidden items. When all of the items are found, allow some time for playing. The girls will have fun creating Polly World! You can also create a fun scavenger hunt with clues. Provide the girls (as a group) with one Polly Pocket doll. Hide clothing and accessories. Each item will have a clue that leads to the next.

Pin the Flower on Polly
Enlist a creative friend or teen to draw a picture of Polly.
Trace a flower on her shirt. Provide the girls with flowers made with craft foam, that match the flower on the shirt. Use sticky-tac or double sided tape on the backs of the flowers. Players will attempt to attach their flower on or near the traced tee-shirt flower. Don't forget the blindfold and to turn each player three times before they take their turn.

Polly Dress-up Race
Provide each player, or team with a Polly Pocket doll, clothes and  accessories. when you say "Go!", players will race to be the first to get their doll dressed with the provided accessories.
This party game can also be a relay race, where each teammate takes a turn and then undresses Polly for the next player.
The first team to finish wins!

Polly Picture Time
Enlist a talented teen to paint a picture of Polly Pocket and friends on a large piece of cardboard (appliance boxes work well!).
Cut a hole where Polly's face would be. The girls will  take turns getting their picture taken while peeking through the hole.

CRAFT IDEAS
Use stick on jewels, glitter glue and gel pens to make any of the 
following items:
Decorate picture frames and take a digital or Polaroid 
snapshot for the girls to take home.
Use small canvas bags (craft store) to make purses.
Decorate a small wood or foam framed mirror.
Decorate pre-cut foam door hangers (craft store).
