Step 2: Preparations be made! A soirée with Nancy has to be spectacular. Here are some ideas to make sure that your event is the fanciest party of the year!

• Bonjour my name is . . . Print out the name tags and bookplates provided. This way thegirls will know each other’s name and can personalize their own copies of Fancy Nancy. Justprint them out on Avery Laser 6874 (3” x 33⁄4”) labels for the perfect party giveaway.

• Stand up straight! Proper posture is an important part of being fancy. But a girl can’t practice with a book and wear a tiara at the same time. The obvious solution is to use abanana instead. Have attendees balance bananas on their heads while walking around thestore. (It doesn’t hurt to teach them to wave like the Queen while practicing being proper.)

• Ribbons and bows! One bookseller or volunteer should arrive not dressed fancy. With ribbonsand self-adhesive bows, the girls at the event can transform this plain girl into a fancy girl!

• Pinkies out! Cookies with a hole in the middle are perfect for snacking—and for practicingeating with your pinky out, as Nancy suggests. Hand out cookies and show the girls how to use the cookie as a pinky ring. Serve juice and show them how to drink with their properpinkies out.

• Fuchsia is the new black! Fuchsia (that’s a fancy wordfor purple) is Nancy’s all-time favorite color. Give the girlspurple pens and crayons for writing on their name tags,bookplates, and working on their activities.

• Decorations are a must! Decorate your store with pink andpurple ribbons and glittery streamers. And remember: A partyspace can never be too fancy!

• Get busy! In the following pages you will find fun activities foryour guests to complete at the party or take home as party favors.Make sure you have plenty of markers, crayons, and colored pencilson hand.

Step 3: Enjoy the soirée and celebrate the Fancy Nancy in you!
