DD's best party ever was a Be My Bear party at home and I think she was 7. After making the bears, we named then, made them birthday cards, and sang happy birthday to them. Each one had a fairy cake with a candle in for their bear and then we sang happy birthday to DD.

I had a few outfits wrapped up as prizes and we had a teddy bear's tea party on a blanket on the floor with pizza cut into small pieces, mini waffles, mini jammie dodgers, mini marshmallows and mini chocolate fingers.

It was a brilliant party and the DC said it was the best one they'd ever been to [smug]. It was the only party I have ever received a thank you card for and it was from a boy's mum who'd named his rabbit Carrot.

Build a bear type parties were very popular with my daughters too.

Other parties they have liked are:

• Sleepover (my DD had her best friends over last year, aged 6. It worked fine)
• Fairy parties
• Gymnastics
