I'm doing a birthday party for my 1, 6 and 40 yr old. I need a cute saying for the invitation?

Charlie

I need a cute saying to put on the party invitation. Please help!

Answer
How about something like- "still down with the kids!" for your 40 year old, or "no grown ups allowed!"? Maybe something teasing about the fact that --- is turning 40, like "it's all downhill from here." or just the word "Help!" being as you have your hands full with a one and six year old.
Just a few ideas. :-)

Help with planning my birthday party?

LCMM

So I'll be 16 on March 12th. Birthday party date for March 24th. I have some questions!

1-How soon should I send out invitations? 3 weeks ahead? 4?

2-Should I just do invitations through a Facebook event and phone those who don't have FB, or should I just stick to old fashioned, written, mailed invitations? Or both?

3-Should I just invite my close-close friends, as a smaller group (7ish people?) or should I do a bigger party with all of my friends (well, only my girlfriends :P)? The awkward thing is, if say, I invite person A, whom I'm good friends with, and don't invite person B, who I'm more just acquaintances with, person B would be offended because I invited person A, and not her. How do I get around that?

4-I'm thinking of a sleep-over party, good idea or no?

5-For events, I'd like to have dancing, singing, and dressing up. The main theme of my party is gonna be like "Gone wild at 16" or something, and we're all gonna dress up, do hair and makeup at the party (that's why no guys :) If I did a sleepover thing we could also do movies, and board games or something. What are some fun games to do that teenage girls would like? That a relatively big group can do? It could be an outdoor game.

6- I guess this ties in with #5, but what are some cool, fun activities that lots of people would enjoy? Like would card-making, or rubber stamping seem really weird? What about doing a cooking project with everyone? (All my friends will probably have fun no matter what we do, but I'm trying to think of something FUN, that would be able to include a decent amount of people)

Just some tips in planning and organizing this would be GREAT! I haven't had a birthday party in years, and what I did back then was little kid stuff, so I need some FUN ideas and help with planning!

Answer
LCMM,

Happy Birthday!

I can really only help you with the activity or game part. I don't know if you like trivia, word or party games, but if you do, then I would recommend that you play Outside the Box! It's a brand new team and party game (actually turns a good party into a GREAT party!)...more fun than you can imagine....check it out and see what you think:

birthday party invitation wording 6 year old image

Rachie

I am about to have my 12th birthday party and i have no ideas! I want this party to be AWESOME so i need really cool ideas! Thanks

Answer
I suggested these before:
Movie party theme for hall or at home. Have a movie themed party. They sell decoration kit and lots of decorations for this at oriental trading. com. If at home watch a cool movie, have popcorn and all kids of candy and junk food. Make or buy pizza and have sundaes. Have a sleep over with the girls if you want. Have a dance in a hall with this theme. Have everhyone wear a movie star costume. Favors: black gold metallic beads from oriental, directors clapboard photo keychain from oriental, sunglasses from oriental or windy city novelities (make sure to buy adult ones).

Luau, beach Hawaii: Orientaltrading has the coolest decorations and favors for this theme and the cutest tropical invitation in the bottle. Give your guests leis as they come in. Play Limbo, Hula hoop, and have a few grass skirts and everyone (including the guys) have to give hulaing a try. Again if you have room to do this at home or you can rent a small room. Tropical pinata. Twister. Hawaii site including games: www.alohafriendsluau.com. Cool invite: Flower lei and attach a printed invitation card.

Neon/Glow in the dark This is a cool theme!
invites:
For the invites oriental trading has neon badges. They are neon nylon necklaces that have a clear plastic case. You need to make the cards on your computer using the business card maker on your computer or just use the MS Word. You might want to put a really big VIP in color and on the back at the top Nicole's Neon Bash in cool color and font and then the party info, who what when.

Oriental trading sells Neon gangster hats.

favors:
Oriental sells neon sunglasses.
Oriental also sells neon jelly bracelets
Glow in the dark bracelets and necklaces, lot of sites have these.
Neon Twist and Glow lollipops.
Neon nail polish u.s. toy company
Neon lazer candy (just like pixie sticks but in neon)
Neon slap bracelet at u.s. toy company
Decorations:
More neon themes go along with Glow in the dark.

windy city novelties has neon tablecloths, cups, napkins. Just type neon in their search bar.

Balloons:
Shindigz has black light sensitive neon latex balloons. Again put neon in their search bar.

Shindigz also sells a neon lights personalized banner.

Oriental trading sells a neon fringe banner

Oriental trading sells neon balloon weights for the balloons you buy.

Party cheap has neon party horns and garland.

Glow in the dark sites:
glow source
shop.glogames.com Lots of games here.
Light God

U.S. toy company sells neon body glitter.
Windy city novelties sell lumi balloons that are balloon with lights in them.

Large neon party pack (kinda expensive) at windy city novelties.

So to search for neon and glow items go to all the party sites ands put that in the search bar:


These appetizers were great at our sweegt 16:

Taco Dip:
2 softened cream cheese.
1 16oz sour cream
1 packet taco seasoning.

Mix with mixer. Put in bottom of a cookie sheet. Top with shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and green onions. Use the cheese but you can altered the rest to your taste, maybe add black olives. Make 2 of these. Serve with tostitos scoops.

PUPPY CHOW
6 cups Crispix cereal
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
12 ounce chocolate chips
2 cups powdered sugar
Melt peanut butter, butter and chocolate chips together in the microwave or on the stove. Stir into cereal. Put powdered sugar in a paper sack. Put cereal mixture in and shake until well coated.
Silver Dollar Sandwiches:
These are silver dollar rolls made by your bakery in the grocery store. We have them in our store just ready to grab, for large orders call ahead for some. Anyway they are perfect for parties, hand size, neat. You buy shaved ham, beef and turkey. You put lettuce on if you want and some cut cheese into triagles and put on. Also put real butter on on side of the bun inside of course. And have mustard and mayo packets on ice in case anyone wants that.

GAMES:
Twister
limbo
get a pinata that matches a theme if you choose a theme.

Put a certain number of candies in a pie plate, fill with cool whip or whip cream and guests have to hold their hands behind their back and find the candies to win a prize.

Buy poster of a cute actor or singer (get one of a girl and one of a boy if you are having a coed party). Anyway, put lipstick on the guest, blind fold them and then spin them a couple times and put them in front of the poster and they have to kiss it. Whoever comes the closest to the actor or singers mouth wins a prize. This can be funny, especially if boys come and they have to put on lipstick.

Police/Jail: Isheriffs badges at shindigz. costumes and handcuffs at oriental trading.
Police line up board at oriental trading.
Police red flashing light at shindigz.
Police car cardboard standee at shindigz.
wanted posters at buycostumes.
Get some brick wall backgrounds to make a jail room or use for the walls at the stumps

I'm planning a 4yr old birthday party for my son and I'm planning on inviting his friends from daycare.

Jessiegurl

What kind of "kind" message can I add to the invitation stating to the parents that for the safety of the child a parent must accompany their child to the party at all times. I need help wording it and knowing if this is appropriate to add to an ivitation. *i might have a jumper and the location of the party is pretty big so i don't want unattended children running around*

Thanks for your help!

Answer
In my experience ( I have a 7 year old and a 2 year old), the parents stayed at the party, without being asked, up until her 6th birthday. I wouldn't leave my 4year old at a party, myself.

You sound like you want to make sure, though, so you could write the invitation as "Dear (name of child), you and a parent are invited to..."

I have received invitations that said "please, no drop-offs" which gets the point across but does seem kind of blunt.

I think it would be fine to put "Please, for the safety of everyone, at least one parent should accompany all children" I would not be offended by that.

One thing you should be prepared for, is that that may mean a single parent (even if single only for the day!) will need to bring along a sibling.
