Daughter's 3Rd Birthday Party

I think that fairy wands would be cute. Fruit on a skewer with a star shaped fruit to top it. As a matter of fact, any type of snack cut into a shape with a cookie cutter would work! Pink lemonade in pitchers, or a punch bowl will look cute too, especially if you place a small lime wedge on the edge of each glass. The ladybug crackers here are cute http://bentobloggy.blogspot.com/2009/11/tinkerbell-fairy-...

This website is amazing for your theme

I also like the idea of mini foods . . . mini hot dogs etc because fairies are small!

Do a google image search for "tinkerbell party food". I saw a ton of ideas that way for your party.

Cupcakes with colored sugar sprinkles (pixie dust), anything flowery (since the fairies make them bloom) so maybe flower shaped cookies.

If she's into Peter Pan and/or Jake and The Neverland Pirates (like my daughter was/is) you can pull some things from that to enhance the theme...grapes for canon balls, pretzel sticks for swords, goldfish crackers and chips for fish and chips, gold wrapped candies (mints, chocolates, Hershey's Nuggets, Rolos) for treasure. My daughter started out w/ Tinker Bell for her 5th birthday, then warped it to Peter Pan and Captain Hook, and then Jake and The Neverland Pirates so we made it "all things Treasure Island". The one thing we changed was instead of "purple" as originally planned, we morphed it more into pirate colors (red and black) with hints of Tink.

Most things with Tinker Bell will be purple and green though.

You can make small sandwiches where you use both white and wheat bread for each, slice off the crust and cut on the diagonal to make triangles.

Cucumber:
Spread cream cheese on one or both slices of bread, add thinly sliced cucumbers and a sprinkle of dried dill.

Egg Salad:
Finely chop boiled eggs; mix in mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper to taste. Place a spoonful in the center of the bread and spread slightly, allowing room for crust cutting. Alternates: Ham or Chicken Salad

PB&J:
Easy!

Mini Muffins would be cute, too!
