4 Strawberry Keepsakes
2 Strawberry Shortcake Posters (made those with a gift bag)

Note*
It will be really helpful if you list all the activities you will have during the Birthday Party, including since you will start for you to follow every moment as plan, this will prevent dis-organization, you can have a family members or friend to help you-(Birthday Planning). This will help you prevent you will forget some activity; you have to consider that you can't be doing or be everywhere to do all in the list. Also make a separate list for the party favors, raffles, piñata, candy bags, etc...) Make a set up map group-where all the tables, food, drinks, etc... Designate a place for each group--put them together the best way that it will work for you and your guest.

All of your helpers need to know where all the materials-treat bags, piñata, activities etc...Are in one place to pick when needed by them. Assigned one person as a photographer to keep all the beautiful moments. I recommend that you take pictures of all your display setting before the party to keep in detail for you album and a guide for your next Birthday Party.

As you can see it took lots of times and planning to have a wonderful Birthday Party that my daughters will always remember as a Very Strawberry Happy Moment....

Hope these ideas can help you organize and plan your next Strawberry Shortcake Party...
