Suggestions for 7yr old girl bday party?

[sovexxed]

Looking for something reasonable in Mississauga. Winter, can't really do anything out doors. Leaves my house or an indoor play ground. So far, can't find anything below $250+.
Suggestions???

For how many kids?

[sovexxed]

Was thinking of about 6.

Fantasy Fair, the indoor amusement park at Woodbine Centre, has some birthday party options:

You might also want to take a look at "Upstairs at Loblaws", which is $18 per child, but I think they have a 12-kid minimum.

Thanks for the sugg. Trying to avoid driving because we'll have to get booster seats for all kids. Loblaws is great idea but kinda pricey.

If you've got the time for a little bit of prep work, would you consider doing it at home? I find it's pretty easy, especially if you pick a theme. There are lots of resources online. (I'm a stay-at-home mom so I have some time to plan these things!) My daughters' birthdays are both in the cold months too so it makes it a little bit harder.

Last year we did a Fairy Party for my daughter's 6th birthday. After food, cake and presents, I find you only have a limited amount of time for games and activities (and the kids just like to play with toys too). We did a couple of crafts: decorated some premade fairy wings (from the dollar store) with gems, glitter glue, ribbons, etc; decorated a fairy wand (I used large size Pixie Stix as the stem and attached a large bristol board star to the top and added curling ribbon around the base of the star). Treat bags included some candies, stickers, etc and a fairy headband (I decorated hairbands with some glittery pipecleaners and little flowers,) and the girls had their fairy wings and wands. I got a lot of good feedback from the parents about it. It's seems that kids are so used to going out somewhere for a birthday party that a home-based one is a novelty!

Another idea. This year we did a horse themed party. For invitations we got some unpainted wooden horses from Micheals (they were 2 dimensional). We painted one side and wrote all of the party info on the reverse side and then attached a magnet so the girls could hang them on their fridges. I had a difficult time thinking of horse-related crafts, so we played some games: pin the tail on the horse, stack the sugar cubes (horses like sugar cubes as a treat), musical chairs. I also printed off some horse-themed activity sheets in case we needed to a filler activity. Treat bags included some PONY-tail holders, horse stickers, other little things and I wrapped them all up in a bandana.
