Event SuggestionsFancy parties are always well planned!

A posh party takes some serious planning. Here are some ideas and suggestions to make your gathering the best in town!

• Decorations are a must! A party space can never be too fancy! Decorate your store with streamers, balloons, and anything pink and sparkly.

• Get to know your new friends! By the end of your event everyone is sure to have made a new fancy friend or two. To help them get to know one another’s other’s names, make sure everyone who comes is given a name tag. The name tags are also a great way to personalize a new copy of Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy. Use the sheet provided in this booklet and make copies on Avery 5163 (3" x 3 ¾") labels.

• Make an entrance! To begin your event, introduce yourself, greet all your guests, and have them greet one another. What is the fanciest way to greet your new friends? Curtsies, of course! Have all the girls show off their most elegant curtsies, and then have everyone settle in their seats.

• A dramatic reading! What would a Fancy Nancy event be without a reading of Nancy’s new book—Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy? As you read the book, encourage your guests to become involved in the story. Have them repeat back the fancy, French vocabulary and enact the emotions and actions in the story. Drama is very fancy!

• Keep your guests entertained! At a posh party there is never a dull moment. Be prepared to keep your guests entertained by having plenty of copies of the reproducible activities in this booklet. Also, be sure to have a supply of crayons or markers on hand, so everyone can share in the fun.

Enjoy the event and celebrate the Fancy Nancy in you!

Fancy Nancy would never attend a party without a proper invite! That would be very un-fancy. Distribute these invitations to all the little Fancy Nancys you know to spread the word about your fabulous party!

Fill in the details, photocopy them, cut along the dotted lines, and put them into customer bags. Or hand them out in your store. Everyone will be so excited to attend your event!
