My sons bday is next saturday he will be 3. I know that people will usually call and ask what he likes and what size does he wear? I thought maybe I would put on the invitation his size and the things he's into right now. I thought about listing it something like this: I love carrying cell phones in my pockets and wearing my daddys watches. I love super heroes and wear a size 3. needs work I know...suggestions welcome. would u be offended to get this info with the invite, I dont want to seem picky..we will appreciate any gift.
Answer
That actually sound pretty creative.
Also, when choosing invitations make sure to buy ones with pictures on them that go along with what your son is into. For example, if he likes spider man, get spider man invitations. You can also make your own invitations and choose what kind of stuff to put on it (maybe like a photo collage on the card cover of all possible gift choices). Or have a themed party where guests only bring gifts that match the theme. For my 21st birthday I had a Corona themed party and it was a hit.
Getting a little too complicated, but a kinda clever idea would be to make a web page of the party. So just tell all your friends and family the web page address and they can check it out for themselves online. Facebook has a group invite function that's pretty interesting and helpful.
Or if all else fails, just make a list of things on the bottom on the invitation that your son might like.
But wait, your son is 3 and has a cell phone?? *sigh* Kids these days... :-)
Good luck!

birthday party ideas?
Bridget
my brother recently broke his ankle and is on crutches. However it is his birthday and we want him to still have a party. He has 20 friends he wants to invite. We don't want to spend to much, and we can't have alot of walking involved. Any ideas?
hes turning 11
Answer
how about a surpirise party here is a idea
Surprise Party
Whatâs more fun than hiding 15-20 people in a small room for 45 minutes and jumping out in false alarm about 3 times before the guest of honor arrives?
Surprise parties are fun for all ages from younger kids to middle age to grandmothers and grandfathers!
Be sure to have the party somewhere that guests can easily find hidden parking or at least a location that allows them to walk only a short distance from their car. Make or order a cake, get balloons, food and goodies and be sure to hide all traces of the party until the special guest has entered the surprise area.
An excuse like asking the guest to check on your pet while you are away on vacation (and leaving a key under the doormat, etc) or having a friend or family member escort him or her to lunch is a good distraction to help keep the party a secret!
or this
Casino Night Party
For a big money theme, rent a hall or designate a large room in your home as the honorary casino. Plastic gold coins and paper money create the big-spenders atmosphere, scratch-off lottery tickets present the perfect party prize and black, red and white decorations, plastic cups and plates carry on the theme. Donât forget the poker chips!
Decks of cards, dice and felt tablecloths (for blackjack, etc) provide some entertainment, but consider looking around for cheap slot machines, roulette wheels, and so forth (consider renting if buying is out of the question).
Try to follow the theme for your musical selections and consider setting up a karaoke machine in case anyone is moved to tell jokes or sing songs.
Give each guest an allotment of play money and offer additional tender if they agree to play dealer for a couple of rounds (if you canât find people to sit in as dealers in the first place). At the end of the night, give the birthday guest his or her presents and also present the casino tycoon with the most play money a present of his or her own.
The fun and competitive nature of a casino should have your guests laughing for hours!
or this
Cocktail Party
For an elegant reception, cook some hors dâoeuvres and appetizers and purchase some wines and liquors for your guestsâ enjoyment. Define a dress code in the invitations and either obtain the services of a DJ or pay your teenager to play music man for the night.
Clear out a space for dancing and set up some chairs / sofas for lounging and conversation. This fancy soiree will be the topic of conversation for months to come.
Be sure to set aside a special place for gifts to be given to the guest of honor. Or, if you know of a particular âlargerâ or more expensive item the birthday celebrant desires, collect money from the guests as a down payment!

Simple Parties
By Kathryn D'Imperio
Barbeque / Cookout Party
Quite possibly one of the easiest all-purpose party themes around, this one is a classic event that friends and family love to come back for year after year. Buy plenty of hotdogs, hamburgers, buns, ketchup, mustard, pickles, relish, cheese and paper plates and napkins. Make some fresh lemonade and iced tea and grab a couple of cases of beer. If you have a pool, make sure your guests remember their swimsuits and towels⦠and warn the birthday boy or girl that he or she just might get dunked!
Guest Bartender Night
Everyone brings a bottle of his or her favorite or newly discovered liquor and a mixer: soda, juice, tonic water, etc. The host or hostess should set up a bar area as accurately as possible if the home does not have a bar set-up already. Be sure to have lots of ice and clean glassware on hand. Depending on your budget, you can get really cute themed glassware and plastic tumblers to liven up the party!
Allow the guests to take turns behind the bar, each creating one special âsignature drinkâ for the other guests at the party. At the end of the night, hold a vote for everyoneâs favorite drink and present the winner with a prize! (You can pre-purchase a special prize, give a bottle of unopened liquor, or collect a dollar from everyone prior to the contest).
Be sure to treat the guest of honor with a toast from the guest bartender after all guests have received the signature drink. Of course presents and cards will be accepted and stowed away for opening at a later time!
Potluck Party
Have all guests bring a different main course, side dish or dessert and enjoy! This type of party can work especially well for those on a low budget because all of the guests will be contributing to the cause. Another great quality of this party type is that picnicking and outdoor parties thrive with potluck parties due to the abundance of food already contained in separate dishesâall you need is a picnic table or two to line up the food!
If, after the arrival of all your guests, you end up with three dishes of lasagna and two baked hams, you know for next time that you should consider âassigningâ recommended dishes!
