Decoration Ideas
Well it is Pink Poodles in Paris - so lets start by thinking PINK. I am not big on spending a ton of money on this stuff and I always try to find things I already have to save the cost of going overboard. There are ways to decorate without costing you a fortune.I go by this party rule "KISS" Keeping it Simple Saves.
You just need touches of decorations. Spend your money on other things. What I love to do at parties is use Helium Balloons and this is why. It is festive, inexpensive and I have the kids take one on their way out the door - they think they are getting something extra, but really they are helping me clean up. So what you can do is this: Get a whole bunch of Pink balloons blown up and find some trinkets like, nail polishes, make-up etc.. useful items with some weight. Cut the strings at different heights and tie one of those items to the bottom. Place your balloons all over the room - they will float and be weighted down by the item you tied them too. Then as the kids leave the party have them take one - so now they get a balloon and a trinket and you do not have to deflate them all later.
Also try and find things your daughter may already have that is pink or that will fit the theme and decorate some with that. Of course you will want to add some more stuff you may have to purchase, but if you can defer the cost - then do it.
You can really go crazy buying decor and there is a lot out there - but small touches are just enough to get the theme across.
Just be creative.

Oh the Table Setting
For me again - I like it simple, but boy can you really out do yourself here with this theme. I usually never buy plates with the designs either, but I may buy maybe the napkins or cake plates only with the theme on it to just add to it - for that touch. For me plain pink works, but many like the theme decor plates. Sometimes plain with one or two touches is enough. I also like fancy cups, in this case the Eiffel Tower cups (see below to purchase), have the guests name on them and then they become favors too. I love multi purpose items.Some inexpensive touches you can do is add some pretty bows to your chairs using tulle - this adds a nice fancy touch. Choose a solid pink table cloth - or one of my favorites as well as the kids is this:
Get some white paper - you can find this in big rolls at some of your local office or craft stores, and use this as your table cloth. Then have a bunch of pink crayons on the table so the kids can draw pictures on the table. You can even have some pre-done before they come or stamp pink paw prints here and there.
Another cool table cloth idea is to do one pick with a clear on top of that with photos you can print from the internet or have colored, or photos of your child in between - they love that too.
Some other ideas:
Pink cloth napkins rolled up with fancy rings
Placemats - you can make them yourself - find inexpensive fabric and just cut them with pinking sheers
Nice Eiffel Tower centerpiece
Make it fancy - the internet is a good source for ideas - Google search Pink Table settings and look at images for inspiration

Food Ideas for your party
This is yet another area parents tend to go crazy. From my years of party planning I have seen parents really go crazy with the food to only be left with tons of left overs when the party is over. So many kids do not eat much at parties - they are too distracted or just don't plain eat. So again use my "KISS" rule here - Keeping it simple saves.I find finger foods to be best for the kids - simple small things they can just grab and eat. You can still do this and have fun with it, but do not go crazy with a three course fancy meal - save yourself the money - they are not gonna eat it. The other rule is this - if you do not want to feed kids a meal and save money then choose to have your party in the safe time zone. I say that is between 1-5pm. Also have on the invite - Snacks and cake will be served so parents know to feed their child before the party.
So with that said lets talk fun snacks for the kids.
Things you know the kids would like to eat - just because this is a Paris party does not mean they are gonna eat crepes. Just make the ordinary look extraordinary - use normal food on fancy pink plates. But still have the kids favorites like Pretzels, Chips and Popcorn.
Party Food
Keep with your PINK theme - have Pink Lemonade - juice boxes are always good.
Pigs in the blanket - looks fancy and they are bite size.
Popcorn - Have Pink lunch bags filled with some.
Cubed Cheeses
Peanut butter and jelly Sandwiches cut into triangles (watch or allergies)
Some Good Websites I like for food ideas:
Family Fun
and
Kraft Foods
Finger Food Books on Amazon
On to the Games
Now the fun part - Game ideas. When planning your party always be prepared with everything you need including an itinerary for your games - in case you forget something. It can get overwhelming with all those kids in the house. Keep the games simple and age appropriate. I will give you some of my favorite game ideas for this type of party, but again the internet is full of great ideas so if mine do not work for you then just give it a search and find some that will.Tips for planning games:
Decide ahead if you will be giving out prizes or just play for fun - remember prizes can add up the cost of the party.
Always have enough games so you do not run short and have nothing to do.
If an child does not want to play do not force them to do so.
Be prepared - have all your props in one box
Make an itinerary of games on a piece of paper ahead of time so you know what you are doing.
A great game idea resource is:

Pink Bubble Gum Blowing Contest
Ok so get some Real Bubble Gum - my preference Bubbalicious - make sure you get Pink/Strawberry. It is important to have the right gum - Double Bubble does not work well. Give each child a piece - let them get it all nice and chewy. Then on go see who can blow a bubble and who can blow the biggest. The kids will be laughing so hard with this.Winner Prize idea:
A pack of gum
FiFi says - Like Simon Says
Have all the kids get lined up and play this game just like you would Simon Says, but instead it is called "FiFi" says.Have an area set up with a sign that says "Le Dog Pound" so when the kids are out they have to go site there.
Have them do things like: Bark, Pant, Get on all fours, Jump etc...
Game Tip:
Have a list of commands written out ahead of time - it will help you out. Trust me.
Winner Prize idea:
For good listening skills: Dog Ear headband, Cool Ear Muffs or A pair Earrings
Great Prize Idea
Le Paris Poodle Restaurant
Now this is fun. Here is what you will need: A Lightweight serving tray, 2 or 4 Plastic Martini Glasses - filled with water or marshmellows (less messy), Umbrella, Fun apron, Pink Puppy Ear headband, Eiffel Tower Prop, White Gloves.This is how it works and you can adjust any of the items as you see fit.
Dress the guest in the Apron, Dog ears or any costume of choice (you can even do funny mustache or those fun glasses with nose and mustache - just something funny). Then set up the Eiffel tower out in the room or yard. Then on the tray put your glasses and other items you choose on there. Now have your guest in one hand hold the tray and in the other have the umbrella (it rains a lot on Paris). The task is to have the guest walk with the tray out and around the Eiffel tower and get back without losing any of their items. You can even have a timer set so they have to move fast. Oh and they have to carry it high like servers do.
This is so funny - so have your cameras handy.
Winner Prize idea:
A cool re-usable cup

Great Prize or Favor Idea
The Pinata
Kids love the Pinata - What can I say about this one? Personally I like the one you bash, but now a days it is the strings. So here are some tips to add some extra fun.Pinata Tips:
Tie some play jewelry on the strings - then when they pull they get a prize - be sure to have enough for all
Have pink lunch bags for filling
Have the guests take turns using the first letter in their name and the alphabet - helps fighting
Fill the pinata with pink items and avoid candy overload

Cake Ideas
So we are nearing the end of the party and it is now Cake Time. The kids favorite party of the party.The cake instructions for the one in the photo can be found here: Instructions for Poodle in Paris Cake
Maybe you do not want cake and you want to make things easier: Then do cupcakes with pink frosting and let the kids decorate them with an assortment of ink candies.
Poodle Party Cake Toppers
Pink Poodle Cupcakes
Fluffy, mini-marshmallow-covered cupcakes are doggone delicious. Love the ears? They're made from marshmallow peanuts.1 box cake mix (18.25 oz.)
2 cans (12 oz. each) whipped vanilla frosting
Pink icing color
24 pink marshmallow peanuts
Mini pink marshmallows
1 tube brown decorating icing
Red Hot candies
1. Prepare cake mix according to directions for 16 standard cupcakes and 16 mini cupcakes, using paper liners. Bake mini cupcakes 15 to 20 minutes and standard cupcakes for 25 to 28 minutes. Let cool completely.
2. Combine cans of frosting and tint pink. Frost all cupcakes. Cut 16 of the marshmallow peanuts in half lengthwise. Cut remaining 8 marshmallow peanuts in half crosswise, and shape into cones for noses. Place one cone shape close to edge of each mini cupcake. Arrange lengthwise marshmallow halves on either side of the mini cupcakes for ears. Cut mini marshmallows in half and arrange around peanut marshmallows. Pipe two eyes, using tubed icing; attach Red Hot at tip of each nose, using pink frosting. Place mini cupcakes on their sides on top of larger cupcakes.

Pink Poodle Chocolate Covered Rice Krispy Treat Party Favor
You can order these yummy treats at The Party Animal. Use as a party favor or a fun treat for the kids during the party. Each treat is 4-5 ounce, individually wrapped and on a stick. They are HUGE and the kids love them. They are made fresh to order and many styles are available. 
Check out these mini marshmallow Poodle Cupcakes
Pink Poodle Cookies
Party Favors
This is another area where people seem to go nuts. People seem to think they need to send the kids home with an expensive gift as a thank you. Remember favors are just a small token to say thanks for coming - not christmas gifts. I do not know at what point favors became $20 dollars to each child - that is just insane. Now kids do look for favors at the end of a party - them love them, but you can keep them simple and inexpensive too.A lot of times party crafts can become the party favor - so you spend the money on crafts and it also serves as the favor - like in the stuffable poodle party (seen above).
Just when choosing your favors - think useful items - I cannot stand when my son or daughter comes home from a party with bags full of pounds of candy and junk. I know you all know what I am talking about. So just think of what you would not mind your child coming home with and watch for sales and great deals on bulk items. Once again utilize the "KISS" rule - Keeping it simple save.
