Invitations

We printed on papyrus (parchment paper) and wrote everyone's names in hieroglyphics.

Decorations

We used the brown paper that I mentioned-It's called builder paper and you can get it at Home Depot or Lowe's and it's MUCH cheaper than the rolls of paper that you buy at the craft stores. We used chalk to draw huge blocks and then glyphs and drawings to make it look like the inside of a pyramid. We then hung it from the ceiling in the house to make it feel like the inside of a tomb. We also used tulle (clearance at Hobby Lobby) draped outside over the arbor to look like mosquito netting at the archaeology dig.

Party Favors

The goodie bags were small plastic flower pots (3/$1 at dollar store) filled with tiny little paintbrushes (used in a dig to remove dirt) and small spiral pads with mechanical pencils and candy.

Games and Activities

We did wrap the mummy (toilet paper), a dig, where we filled kiddie pools with sand and buried gold coins and pieces of clay pots that were broken (make sure to break any sharp edges) and some of them were spray painted gold. Also inside each sandbox was the first clue of a scavenger hunt. All of the clues were written onto paper that I had boiled in tea, so it looked really old. I also have a calligraphy pen, so I handwrote the clues. Part of the hunt was to go into the "Alexandria Library" (my dining room-closed off with brown paper and candles burning) and search through tons of huge Egypt books that we have for information leading to the next clue. Oddly enough, they learned a lot about the Egyptian gods and didn't even notice! If they couldn’t figure out the clue, they could use some of their gold coins to purchase help from an adult.
