KNIGHT BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS FOR INVITATIONS

SCROLL INVITATIONS - Use parchment paper or scroll-type scrapbook paper. Write out all of your party details in calligraphy or use an Old English font. Roll invitations into scrolls, tie with a ribbon or seal with sealing wax, and mail in a paper towel tube. For extra fun, have someone dress up and hand-deliver the invites as the court messenger.

DRAGON INVITATIONS - Download a dragon and print off on cardstock. On the back, put all of your party details.

CASTLE INVITATIONS - Download a castle and print off on cardstock. On the back, put all of your party details.

KNIGHT PHOTO INVITATIONS - Cut 8 1/2" x 11" piece of card stock into two pieces and fold in half. Using decorative scissors trim edges of photo of your child in KNIGHT attire, so photo is slightly smaller than card stock. Glue photo to the front of the invitation. Put "Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Noble Knights & Fair Damsels!" above the photo. Either type or handwrite on left inside the above wording:

EMBELLISHED READY-MADE KNIGHT BIRTHDAY PARTY INVITATIONS - Buy ready-made knight theme invitations and embellish picture with glitter, ribbons, jewels, etc.


KNIGHT BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS FOR COSTUMES

Invite everyone to wear their knight and princess best or supply your guests with a few items to turn them into little knights and princesses. You could give the boys a helmet and sword and the girls a tiara and wand. You could also mix in a few crowns if you would like, but most of the boys will probably want to wear a knight's helmet.

If you're not feeling inclined to make your child a costume, here's some adorable options to consider for your perusal.

For your fair ladies, be sure to check out our HOMEMADE PRINCESS COSTUME


KNIGHT BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS FOR DECORATIONS

The best colors for your knight birthday party are purple, red, blue, green, yellow, and silver. Create a memorable party by turning your party room into a castle.

• Create some crowns out of cardstock and decorate them with glitter and stick-on jewels. Staple them to yard stakes and line your walkway with your "crown" stakes.

• Create various colored flags out of poster board, cardstock, or construction paper. Staple them to yard stakes and line your walkway with your "flag" stakes.

• Hang a sign on the front door that says "Welcome to Sir Phillip's Castle."

• Create a castle-looking entrance at your front door. You can either use refrigerator box cardboard or go all out and make it from plywood.

• Hang metallic foil curtains at your front door to create a dazzling castle entrance.

• Hang fabric on your walls that has a stone print design to create that castle-renaissance look.

• One of my favorite decorating mediums is gossamer because of its versatility. You can use it to create walls, walkways, cover ceilings, furniture, etc. to instantly transform your party room into the theme of your choice. For a knight party you might want to use a flagstone printed gossamer.

• Make a throne for the birthday knight by covering a high-back chair with purple velvet fabric. Place the throne on a large wood box, painted black or brown, to raise the birthday knight higher then his royal subjects.

• Sprinkle gold foil-wrapped chocolate coins on the tables.

• Create a treasure chest using an old trunk and fill it with birthday presents.

• Hang play swords on the walls.

• Decorate your walls with shields made out of poster board and decorated with large crosses, coat of arms, and accented with medieval stickers.

• Hang tapestry fabrics on the walls.

• Hang posters of castles on the walls.

• Hang streamers in your doorways or tie them back to create a curtain style appearance.

• Decorate ceilings with twisted streamers and clusters of balloons with curling ribbons in your party colors.

• Display knight, princess, medieval type of toys in the party room for decoration.

• Put knight Mylar balloons on the birthday knight's chair and helium balloons on the other chairs.

• Put a sign on the bathroom door that says "Knights & Princesses" or "Knights & Damsels".

• Hang strings of white Christmas lights around the perimeter of the party room and doorways to give it a low-lighting castle appearance.

• Create a table centerpiece by attaching a bouquet of theme balloons to a toy castle.

• Laminate pictures of castles. Use a medieval themed calendar and create placemats. Speaking of barnyard calendar photos, they are perfect for creating barnyard-themed placemats. If the photos are large enough to stand on their own, just laminate the picture and they are ready for you to serve up your grub. If the photos are too small, then glue them to construction paper and then laminate.

  KNIGHT BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS FOR FOOD

  Remember, back in the day, forks, knives, and spoons were just about nonexistent, so keep utensils to a minimum. Serve a medieval buffet and be sure to label everything with fun medieval names. Here's some knight birthday party ideas for theme food:

  DRAGON DOGS - Slice hotdogs lengthwise, but do not cut completely through them. Fill with a strip of cheese. Unroll refrigerated crescent rolls and separate the triangles. Roll a hotdog up into each triangle and bake as directed in the crescent roll package.

  MINI DRAGON DOGS - Cut each crescent roll dough square into 4 pieces, wrap around mini sausage or hot dog, and cook according to crescent roll directions. Serve with ketchup and mustard.

  MEDIEVAL CHICKEN - The perfect finger food and lends itself to an authentic fare. Serve wings and legs.

  SWORD SKEWERS - Fill skewers with cut up fruits like pineapple, apples, and grapes.

  STEW - Create bread bowls using small round loaves of French bread. Cut the top off, hollow it out, and fill with your favorite stew. Serve with the extra bread for easy dipping.

  VEGIES - Corn on the cob and baked potatoes.

  DRAGON NAILS - Buggles. Kids love to put them on their fingers.

  DRAGON SCALES - Doritto chips or any other chip that is in a triangular shape.

  ROYAL BERRIES - Strawberries dipped in chocolate.

  NUGGETS - Hershey Kisses with the nuts. They have royal wrappings of gold and silver foils.

  DRAGON'S BREATH - Gatorade.

  KNIGHT'S GROG #1 - The day before freeze apple juice in ice cube trays. Mix two liters of ginger ale, sprite, or 7-Up with 1 liter of apple juice. Serve in mugs with apple juice ice cubes.

  KNIGHT'S GROG #2 - Serve Sparkling Apple Cider in decorated plastic goblets with stick-on jewels, glitter, sequins, and anything else you can find that dazzles.
