Thank you so much! The party was this weekend and was a huge hit. We had eight 10-year old girls and they all had a blast. My daughter was delighted. Your materials are wonderful. The planning guide included everything I needed to know. Painless! Well, except for the fact that I'm ready to sleep for a week after having that many girls here (they talk A LOT). I've passed you website address along to several people who were amazed at how well put together everthing was. Best of luck to you! - Wendy Macias

Last night we celebrated my daughter's ninth birthday. We used the "Ghost of Marnie"party and it was a blast. The guests were extremely excited about the party as soon as they received their invitations; it was the "talk" of the third grade. The girls arrived with great anticipation, got into character immediately and proceeded to have a wonderful evening. Several of them went home asking their mothers to be "Aunt Mattie" and to have a ghost party. Thank you for the creative ideas...now I will start looking for a party for my soon to be seven year old's party. -Georgia
