Make Your Own Pizza Station

Set up a buffet for the kids to put together their own pizza pies:

1. Put a disposable plastic cloth on a long table. Make the table accessible from all sides so everyone can join in the fun.
2. Make one half of the table the "dough prep" side. Scatter flour on the
   tabletop and put the pizza dough and small pies tins here.
3. Make the other half of the table the "sauce and toppings" side. Put
   bowls of sauce, cheese, and toppings here along with serving spoons.

You can go for a classic Italian look with the red & white check tablecloths, or max everything out with pizza decor from the invitations to pizza slice balloons.

Give your party a restaurant feel by hanging a chalkboard menu with "Happy Birthday" spelled out in chalk. Use another chalkboard to write pizza-making directions.
