Theme : Wizard

A Wizard Party is a great birthday party theme for a Harry Potter fan. Have your child held you design invitations, decorations, and activities that tie-in with the Harry Potter stories. Or take your child back to the days of King Arthur's Court and the most famous wizard of all... Merlin!

A wizard party is also great fun for Halloween... magical, but not too scary.
