Being the mother of two boys whose prime interests are sports and WWF, it's a pleasure to hear that your daughter is so well rounded in her interests. I think it would be wonderful, rather than to single out any one or two of her hobbies and interests, to elaborate on them all at the same time. Perhaps a theme called " The World Accoring to ~her name~ " or ~Her name's~ World". Each table could be decorated according her interests... One with a British theme (a castle...guards..a crown with the royal insigna,royal ballet, some pictures with fake autographs of the handsome men of royality...like Prince William...Harry.... etc,) another table with ballet shoes, tutu...playbill from the ballet, ticket stubs, etc. For sewing you could use a sewing basket and fill it with assorted sewing goods..if you're using balloons you could get some pin cushions put heavy pins through the holes of large colored buttons into it and use them as weights to tie ballons around. For travel you could use a "Where in the world is ~her name~ instead of Carmin Sandiego. Find the logo and put her face on it, a map of the world or Europe with pins in the areas she visited or would like to visit, binoculars, bug repellant , travel bag. Some old stickers from luggage...a copy of a passport, etc. For shopping, try to get diffent bags from the stores she shops in and then some..Try Chanel, Tiffany, Bendels, Hermes, Prada. Use mylar stuffing and have oversized fake 1000 dollar bills sticking out of it (REAL bills would be greatly appreciated!!!...~jokes~)Attach ballons to the handles. Fake credit cards scattered on the table around them. If she's truly a Renaissance child dress up a table accordingly...a maypole in the center of the table with the ribbons going 3/4 of the way down so people can still see eachother. Tack the ends so it stays. A jousting scene or lances and the hats with the flowing sheer silks Animals and nature could be either set up as a zoo...or a rainforest with exotic animals and plants.

I hope that you've like some of my ideas or they have at least sparked your creativity. I'd love to know what you've decided on when you do. Mazel Tov!
