Alexa's 4th Birthday Party Thoughts! 1.20.12

Alexa's 4th Bday is coming up on March 1st. I have been thinking of cute ways of doing everything on a budget. Things like party favors , decorations & food ideas.
For party favors I was thinking of using baby food bottles & filling them with candies & tying paper /ribbon around the lid part. But I would hate it if one of the kids drops & brakes the glass jar. :( So I'm still thinking of kid friendly party favors. I do NOT like pinata idea at all!!

Theme : Im thinking of doing Strawberry Shortcake - thats only if I can find someone to bake a cake that I fell in LOVE with. I first need to confirm with Alexa what is it that SHE wants as her birthday theme ;).

How cute would this be ? Only if it read " Come to my 4th Birthdya & Party ! " <3

So these are just some basic ideas, I need to remind my self that this all has to be done on a very tight BUDGET!

For food part - Im debating between home : Pizza & cupcakes or Johns Incredible Pizza! Think, think, think!!!
