I've looked in vain for plain green party pags. I've found plain green party boxes for the food but I wanted bags as well. Can any of you come up with a company who can do both?

Even better, a company that can do Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle ones but I'll be happy with plain green!

You might find green ones here if you ring them

did you try this place have a look at this

Just to let you know that I bought green tissue paper to wrap the party bags (the stuff is mostly flat so this works well) and my green food boxes arrived this morning.

I'm tempted to make & wrap turtle bandanas round the food boxes so they look more turtley

Dear Soupdragon,

If you are enjoying all this work for a birthday party then I am happy for you and go right ahead.

If you are not & are getting stressed out then CHILL OUT!!!! I have been to MANY birthday parties in my time and have listened to the views of the birthday child and the small guests. NOT ONE CHILD ever said to me "Hey it was great, the party bags were co-ordinated with the invitations"! I promise you, you are the ONLY one who will notice.

5yos like good games with lots of prizes and the chance to run around and scream.They also think its really funny if someone throws up in the middle of the floor ..................

Eh?

soupy _ I think its sweet that you are putting effort into it. My boys would be really keen on turtley bandanas -

have you got a boy into TMNT Lesley?

Nope, just one boy too big now for TMNT - the rest are girls. So we only obsess about Barbie and all things pink.

Not that I wish to be sexist, I'm sure some girls love the TMNT too ( she adds hastily, not wishing to hurt the feelings of any turtles reading this).

SD - just ignore me if i've misunderstood, I'm pregnant , sleep deprived and irrational........

Although I will add that DD2 s highlights from the 6!!!! parties she has attended since Christmas were:

"I liked it when all the children jumped on the sofa and pretended to be monsters"

" It was funny when Aidan was sick all over the floor"
