bella01, I designed a car mat for my niece and nephew for Christmas and had it printed by spoonflower, and it turned out great! Just got it all up on my blog today.

Thanks everyone! Yes, this party was VERY budget-friendly.

As far as the donations-for-gifts concept, this worked for us for a few reasons. 1) Simon had already decided that he wanted to save his own money for this charity (www.4-more.org). 2) The crowd was full of close friends - we don't go overboard with gifts in our circle anyway. Of course the grandparents showed up with quite the haul of presents, but also a gigantic shopping bag full of change!
3) I think it helped that we didn't tell people what to do or not to do, the option was still open for traditional gifts, but the kids had a great time handing over baggies of coins.

All in all, Simon and his friends raised $254 for 4-more's efforts to bring clean water to Rwanda. (Which is a lot more than we spent on the party)
