I have it mostly planned. I really just need help with coming up with what kind of food to serve and invitations.

Here is what we are doing so far...

So far we have decided for Kincaid's party...

We are going to decorate in black and white with just hints of orange (for the beak/feet)...we plan on putting a ton of black and white balloons on the ceiling (probably 50 of both colours) then a few (probably 25) orange. We bought these things that we will hang from the ceiling as well...probably 35 of them from the ceiling then the other 15 will go in go in goody bags.

And we bought these to put on the tables...

We are going with these plates, napkins, and cups...

We will use black forks and spoons with orange butter knives.

These will be the crafts...

For goody bags I bought some of those madagascar wobble penguins and these fun sticker things...you dress the penguin...Janelle had some pumpkin, witch, and scarecrow dress a sticker sheets at halloween and loved them.

My mom is making this...

except instead of making the igloos out of sugar molds, she is going to make the igloos into cakes...a white cake on top and a chocolate cake on the bottom. The center will be those snowball cookies, and she is going to probably make the penguins out of marzipan.

She's also making a bunch of these...

~Make your child's favorite sandwiches and use penguin cookie cutters to cut them into shapes.

~Penguin Jigglers - "Jell-O Jigglers" cut with the same cookie cutters as the sandwiches.

~ Poppy the penguin (http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/recipe.aspx?recipeId=36428) This cute little popcorn penguin can adorn your table or make a great gift!
