So when my oldest child turned 7 last year, we decided to put our weekend fun to good use. We threw a party at the "Backyard Water Park". It was so easy and the kids loved it!
First I started with the invite, which I pieced together with things I found online. All though I think I could have drawn it myself (maybe next year).
Then I started planning decorations. Banners, signs, streamers...
I even did a table with beach towels and sunscreen.
Next it was time for the food. We had pigs-in-a-blanket, sandwiches, sausage balls, pretzels sticks dipped in white chocolate, and cupcakes.
I made sponge balls using sponges from the Dollar Tree that I cut up and then put together using rubber bands. The kids had so much fun throwing them at each other.
These are the best and only water guns I will ever buy. They are from the Dollar Tree and are so super awesome! We have had some fro a few years now.
Instead of spending a ton of money on party favors I just for these water bottles from .... wait for it....The Dollar Tree and painted the kids names on them. Now they can use them and use them again!
After the set up and clean up, this party was so easy! The kids entertained themselves and we enjoyed their fun. Some of the parents even got involved with the fun!

Liz that's just too cute! What a great idea for a party! I had always done parties at party places but for my daughters 8 birthday I did a tea party and I have to say it was so much fun! It's really true that with just a little planning you can come up with a home party that entertains and doesn't cost a fortune! Thanks for some great ideas!
Water slides are the best gift to kids especially in summers. Water Slides are available in good designs and rates on this site Water Slides. I purchased one, it is durable and long lasting with affordable price as well.
What did you use to write the kids names on the water bottles to make it permanent? Was it a paint or form of a Sharpie?
