A Harry Potter Birthday Party for Kids

My kid's Harry Potter party

This is a record of my daughter's 6th birthday party with a Harry Potter theme.  Since then, thousands of Harry Potter related ideas have been posted, blogged and pinned, but in those days, not as many people were doing it. We even got a Special Mention gift certificate from birthday party ideas.com.

We started preparing about 6 weeks in advance for a summer party.  Our party was for 5-7 year olds.

Invitations

In the story, the writing is emerald green and the seal is embossed in purple. I printed out letters on parchment colored paper using some free fonts available at the time. The invitations were sent in cream colored envelopes with the purple embossed seal on the back.
