Birthday party supplies

I love to plan memorable parties and playdates for my 2 and 4 year old. I'm often asked where I get fun supplies for the gatherings. 

For my daughter's upcoming (March) Barbie themed 5th birthday at Lyndhurst castle... 
   
I'm making tissue paper flowers, with tissue paper from the dollar store.
For the "Barbie Beauty Boutique", I purchased feather boa's from Halo Heaven. 
I scored these gown boxes at Christmas Tree Shop...in packs of 10 for $1.00! For treats, jewels or place settings, still deciding. Necklaces are from Target's $1.00 bins...do love you the $1.00 bins as much as me?  
Also, at the Christmas Tree Shop I purchased dozens of colorful rings for just a few dollars!
On Martin Luther King day I was in Greenwich with my children. A stroll through town lead us to Claire's and to these...33 ouchless hairbands rolled to look like a lollipop! Is there anything cuter? Each girl will receive one so that she may sport the iconic Barbie ponytail!     
Homegoods currently has lots of Barbie stationary with Robert Best artwork. I grabbed a couple of boxes of these notecards so that I can hole punch the corners, add ribbons and hang them from the gift bags sans the envelope!     
Now, I'm working on some of the "Barbie" details to pull it all together! What are some of your birthday party resources? Have a fabulous weekend!

    I love those paper flowers you made. When I was a little girl my grandmother taught me how to make roses out of toilet paper (of all things) and a bobby pin. Then we would spray them with perfume :D. For the life of me, I cant remember how we made them.
    Barbie note cards are simply divine. When is the party?
    Have a wonderful weekend.

    What a fun party this will be! Love the Christmas store but none here, so when I travel to western NY I tend to stock up while there.

    This looks like the 'yummiest' party. I love it! I have several R. Best Barbie calendars that I will frame out my faves from for my littlest's room. She is almost 2 so I have a few years to plan the ultimate girly party.

    I believe being a mom preparing a birthday party is funner than being the party princess~~~ Have fun special one!!
