Decorations

Our backyard was decorated with enlarged Dalmatian yard displays (dogs and puppies from a Dalmatian coloring book.) These are easy to make using an overhead projector, white poster board, and a black marker. Cute and very inexpensive to make.

Party Tableware

Tables were decorated with Dalmatian stuffed animals that I have collected over the years.  I made personalized Dalmatian placemats for each child using the Dalmatian logo from Print Shop Deluxe III computer program.  I had these laminated for long term usage.

Costumes

I made Dalmatian party t-shirts for each child at the party.  I purchased packs of white t-shirts (3 per pack) in a variety of sizes.  I used t-shirt transfer paper from Hewlett-Packard that I found at Wal-Mart in the computer supply section.  I used the same Dalmatian logo that I used for the placemats. Just follow the directions on the package. Very easy to do. I printed the Dalmatian logo with the following info printed underneath the Dalmatian logo - Michael's Dalmatian Party- and the date of the party underneath.  Simply iron on the logo to the shirt following the directions on the HP t-shirt transfer package.

Food

Cake/Ice Cream: We served a Dalmatian cake made from our local bakery. We served individualized ice cream single serving containers that come 12 to a pack at your local grocery store.  Children were able to top their ice cream with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and chocolate sprinkles.  We served variety packs of single serving chips that were displayed in a dog basket.    We served single serving Kool Aid bottles in various flavors.

Games and Activities

We rented a Dalmatian moonwalk from our local party rental service that was very reasonable ($80.00) This was our gift to our son instead of various wrapped presents.
