A Medieval Birthday Celebration

We dutifully present a Middle Ages-inspired festival complete with a tournament for the brave, ceremonial craft-making, and a fire-breathing cake. Let the fun begin!

Turn your invitation into a royal proclamation of festivities. Using a font such as Lucida Calligraphy, print each invitation on parchment-style paper (found at craft stores). You can use this dragon image to add some flair to the invite. For a worn look, tear the edges of the paper, then roll each invitation into a scroll and tie it with ribbon. Let the birthday child hand-deliver the invitations, or mail them in paper towel tubes (seal the ends with packing tape). Click here to use our exclusive online printable invitation.

MEDIEVAL CRAFTS
Before the knighting ceremony can begin, squires must extract a mini Excalibur to reveal their noble name. Plus, don't forget the Knight's Code of Honor, Rule #1: Never leave the castle without proper garb and your family crest.

GLORIOUS GOBLETS
Raise a glass and shout "huzzah!" for the birthday child with easy-to-make goblets. To make these supping vessels, simply use glue dots to attach acrylic jewels to plastic glasses.
