      Dear Reader,

      In this book you’ll find ideas for 12 parties—one for every

      month of the year. From January to December, there’s always

      something to celebrate!

      The games, decorations, crafts, and recipes in this book are

      sure to make your party fun, yummy, and memorable. You’ll

      find all the know-how you need to put it together, plus tips

      for before and after the party, too.

      Each party can be a sleepover—or not. It’s your call. And you

      can throw any party during any month. Want snow in July? Or

      a summer carnival to warm up a wintry weekend? The only

      requirement is a smile.

      So if you’re interested in . . .

      traveling around the world in an afternoon

      sipping a snowball soda float after a snowball fight

      creating a summer carnival in your own backyard

      . . . then grab your calendar and pencil in a party!

      Your friends at American Girl

      Party Basics

      What about invitations?

      Ask your parents how many guests you can

      invite, and show them your list before you

      make invitations. When passing out your

      invites, be considerate. If you can’t mail

      them, give them to your friends privately so

      that no one feels left out.

      How long should I plan?

      It’s best to give your guests at least two

      weeks’ notice, and you’ll need about one

      week to get all the other details in place.

      Two weeks before the party…

      Invite your guests.

      One week before the party…

      Write up a shopping list. Head to the store

      and pick up everything you need.

      A few days before…

      Think about how
