specific page, choose the menu option View/Go to. Use the rotate page option within View menu

option if you need to rotate the pages sideways to read them.

You do not have to print the party all at once. It is stored on your computer and you can come

back to the file anytime.

Before you print you should have on hand: (you do not have to print everything at once)

1. White bond paper (regular printing paper)

2. White card stock for the invitations, thank you cards and perhaps some of the activity

materials.

3. Iron-on transfer paper if you plan to create a T-shirt iron-on .

Card stock is also called index stock or 110-pound paper. The designs are not setup to use

perforated greeting card stock. It’s assumed you will cut the invitations on the crop marks.

You can find both card stock and T-shirt iron transfer paper at your local office supply store.

Single sheets of card stock may be available at print shops like

Cake decorations

Once upon a time, Kings and Queens ruled the land, dragons roamed the forests and fairies grantedwishes. There was a special kind of magic in the air. You can have that same magic as you turn yourchild’s special party into a Fairy Tale Party, Knights of the Round table party or Medieval Castle party. You add your guests and food, then have fun yourself!

The party can easily accommodate a mixed gender or all boys or all girls party by selecting the appropriateprojects. Your party should last between 2 and 2 ½ hours depending on whether you serve a meal. Included in your PartiKitTM file are the games and activities you need for your party.

You may print invitations with which to invite your guests. It is best if you mail them at least two weeksbefore the party. A few days before the party, call any invited guests who have not responded to theRSVP.

The games involve some activity and require you to have open space where the children can movearound. If it's a rainy day you should be sure to have a room about 20 feet long.

Stuff the favor bags and write each child’s party name (on their name tag) on the bag.

wand.3. Upon instruction, the children begin to pass the wand from hand to hand behind their backs around

the circle. The guesser opens his eyes. They all keep their hands in constant motion so that it looksas if they all are passing the wand at the same time.

4. The guesser at any time can say “Stop in the name of the King”. The players quickly stop passingthe wand and the center player tries to guess who has the wand. When he guesses correctly bypointing and saying "Show me your treasures" he trades places with that player, who then takes histurn in the center and the passing and guessing continues.

Printing and assembling instructions for multi-paper decorations found in this kit. Lay the pieces next to one another to resemble the finished poster.

Cut the bottom margin from the top two papers (1 and 2).Cut the right margins from the two left papers (1 and 3).

Line the papers together so the image is lined up correctly at the top and the bottom..Put small pieces of tape to secure the papers, use just enough to be able to turn it overand still have the image stay together.

Attach as much tape as you want to the back of the poster to secure it together.

You may wish to trim the overall margins so they are even.
