Birthday tea - any ideas for a 7 year old ?

Spooky1

Instead of a party, we have bought our son a trampoline and would like to ask him to choose say maybe 3 good friends to come over for a birthday tea. I am going to do 'party' bags and 'party' food, but the entertainment will be the trampoline and playing together with his toys.

How should I word the invite?, any interesting food ideas?, any ideas at all to make this a memorable day for him? Thanks
I will make the possibly dinosaur shaped invites myself.
April - wow, how mean are you?, not called for at all....
I am in the UK - where a 'tea' party is considered just fine. Tsk, the language devide could cause complications if I let it!

Answer
I'm sure by 'birthday tea' you don't mean 'tea party' but inviting a couple of friends over to have dinner as some other answerers have been a bit confused.

I think for the invite you should just go with format for party invitations, but just swap 'party' with 'dinner'. Then you just have the normal details, who, where, when, what to bring (if anything), rsvp etc. The dinosaur shapes sound great!

Party food ideas: pizza, cookies, cupcakes, donuts, popcorn, toasted sandwiches, sausage rolls, chips and dip, soda, fruit juice, jell-o, gingerbread people, ice cream, fruit kebabs, lamingtons, chocolate mousse, rocky road, mini hamburgers, nachos, tacos, carrot & celery sticks, candy, chocolate, toffee apples and brownies.

To make it memorable, just make sure you have some other party games (as well as having fun on the trampoline). Take lots of photos and film (if you have video camera) and keep the kids entertained and safe.

Need Help With a Rhyming Birthday Poem or Invitation Wording?

Latasha St

Ok friends I need help, my baby Devyn will be turning Seven in February and I'm looking for a cute and different theme for her. Not your normal kid characters or princess. I was thinking maybe a All About Me with her photos & the number 7 everywhere but I don't reall know.

Answer
Seven year old kids need the theme to be kept simple ...
I have a grandson turning 7 in February also ...
>
Maybe the theme could be about the number 7 ... itself ...?
"All about me" ... is a bit boring for a birthday party ...?
If that is what you meant by "invitation wording" ...?
*
-Devyn is turning 7 and the party will be heaven-
There will be 7 gifts to win in the pass the parcel game ...
On the birthday cake, there will be 7 candles all aflame ...
You can win a prize if we pick out the 7 with your name ...
Each cardboard 7 will be drawn red and look the same ...
*
The 7 gifts can be very simple and cheap ... such as ...
A small packet of pencils or crayons.
A small bag of lollies.
A small puzzle toy.
A small coloring in book.
A small novelty book.
A packet of novelty playing cards.
A small bubble blower.
(((You know what I mean?)))
If all of the kids at the party are girls then a little cheap jewelry items, maybe?
With the cardboard sevens ... you just cut them out and color them and write each name on the back and then put them into a hat or a barrel or big plastic bowl and the birthday girl wears a mask or blindfold and picks out the lucky number 7 winner of the prize. It can be anything really but once again, it can be relatively cheap and fun but make it a bit better than the pass the parcel gifts, so a cheap board game that you get from a novelty shop or a skipping rope if the kids are all girls or if there are boys there also, make it a unisex gift. A cheap board game is more than likely the best but you can think about that.
Display that gift during the party.
Number 7 stick on badges.
Party hats with number 7 on them ... you can buy the stickers and stick them on to the hats.
Lolly bags/baskets, that they take home with number 7 on them, again, use stickers.
The birthday cake can be shaped as a big number 7.
Pin the tail on the donkey can have a number 7 for the tail???
The paper or plastic cups you use can have 7 on them.
And the list goes on.
I'm sure you will think of more ideas ... such as the balloons?

Are links for pics of hair etc allowed?

birthday party invitation wording for 7 year old image

Mika.Deser

This is random but it seems like every question that has any kind of picture or link gets automatically deleted. I've been trying to ask a question and it requires posting links to pictures but it doesn't seem like links are allowed. Am I wrong or whats up with that?

Answer
Click on the ABOUT tab. Click on Community Guidelines. They are quite extensive. Here is just part of what Yahoo says about what constitutes chatting.>>

Yahoo! Answers is a question-and-answer community of people sharing knowledge. We provide a couple of different ways for members to connect with one another, including email, instant message, and a comments area, so chatting in questions and answers is not allowed. When people use Answers to chat with each other, it lowers the quality of the site and inhibits knowledge-sharing.

Yahoo! Answers is not meant to be about gaming or playing a game, it is about sharing knowledge with other Yahoo! users across the world and, for this reason, questions involving gaming are not allowed.

Here are a few examples of what we consider chatting:

How (are you, old are you, was your day, is everyone today)?
What are you/What am I (doing, thinking of, wearing, etc.)?
Guess my/Can you guess my/What's your (name, age, sex, weight, birthday, location, etc.)?
Who is fromâ¦/Who plays â¦here/Who wants to chat
Do you like my (avatar, web site, poem, etc.)?*
Who wants to celebrate my birthday, drivers license, first 100 points, level 7?
Where is user (nickname) gone?
Avatar games and games of any nature

We also consider questions that call out other users by name to be chatting. If the intent is to ask a follow-up question in response to someone elseâs question and that person is not available via email or IM, post a new question thatâs open to everyone in the community to answer â there might be someone else whoâs better equipped to answer it.

* Please note that exceptions to this rule would have to satisfy two criteria: The question would have to be 1) advice-seeking and 2) knowledge-worthy. For example, it would be OK to ask, "How can I improve my poem?" or "How do I make my avatar look more attractive?"
_____________________________________

Without knowing the exact wording or the Q that got dinged, I can't say 100% either way, but if you posted a question that said, "What do you think of my hairdo?" or "Do you like my hair cut?" these are considered invitations to chat, not seeking knowledge of any value and only seeking an opinion for your own use. If your question was, "What way could I style my hair for a fancy party?" " or "What is the latest fashion for hair colouring this time of year?" those questions are not violations because you are seeking knowledge.

Also, when you receive a violation, posting about it can be a violation in itself. Word it very carefully. For example, "Who reported me?" is an invitation to chat, to gossip, but "Could anyone tell me why questions might get deleted?" is okay because it is seeking knowledge. This question you're asking now is legit because you are seeking knowledge.

The links are also a potential red flag for spam, solicitation, and may lead to a shock website such as pornography. You should tell members what is in the video. It is a violation to say, "What do you think of this?" and post that question with a video link. You should not post videos to places outside of Yahoo that ask members to do surveys or to subscribe. That is a violation.

Trust me, you should take the time to really go through the Community Guidelines. Also, if you have questions about how Yahoo works, instead of risking a violation by posting in Q&A, you should make these inquires in the Suggestion Board. As you can tell, I have, in a short period of time, become quite knowledgeable about what is abuse and what is not, just by posting several questions in there. The regulars who hang around to pounce on your question will, for the most part, make things clear right away, though even they disagree sometimes.

I hope that helps. Nobody likes a violation. I got one for telling someone they had posted their question in the wrong category. Thought I was being helpful but I was "not answering the question" so somebody reported me.

what to do on a birthday party?

Q. im turning 23 this june. i need ideas on how to make my birthday a blast. usually i just take my friends out for a meal. any unique ideas? im thinking of a trip somewhere, maybe at the beach etc., but what do we do there? also if theres any idea, it would be much appreciated :)

Answer
Hip Hop Theme
For those who love to dance, a hip hop theme will make a memorable party. Invitations that resemble backstage passes are simple to create with a computer and a photo program. First create a rectangle that is 4 inches by 7 inches, and fill it in with any color that will complement the party color scheme. Then, add a square picture of the guest of honor to the top of it. Type in the important party information below the picture, and be sure to tell guests to dress in their best hip hop clothes. Baggy shirts, baggy pants and tennis shoes will make a great outfit for a hip hop themed party. On the side of the invitation, create a strip that runs lengthwise from top to bottom and fill it in with the color black. On that strip type the words "Backstage Pass," and turn the words sideways to make sure it fits. Using white lines in different widths, create a bar code and place it at the top of the black strip to make the invitation look more authentic. Invitations can be delivered in a lanyard, so guests can wear their backstage passes around their necks. As guests arrive give them sunglasses, fake gold chains and fake gold rings to wear throughout the night as party favors.

Decorating for a hip hop themed party is simple. Hang large posters featuring various hip hop artists on the walls. Cardboard cut outs of stars also can be used to add to the ambiance. Hip hop has gone through many transformations over the years, and includes things like graffiti and break dancing. Incorporating various parts of hip hop into the decor will not only complement the theme, but provide additional entertainment for the party guests as well. On one wall, hang large sheets of butcher paper and have cups filled with Sharpie markers in various colors. Allow guests to use these markers to create their own graffiti throughout the night. Hip hop stars like elegance, so the decor should resemble a party stars would attend. Use strands of white Christmas lights as the main source of lighting, and consider having a disco ball hanging over the dance area. Purchase white balloons, streamers and table linens to decorate the area. Serve food in bowls that look like crystal, and allow guests to drink beverages from champagne glasses. If the budget allows, have an open bar for guests who choose to drink alcoholic beverages. For additional table decorations, scatter fake diamonds on the table top along with candles on crystal candle sticks.

Hire a DJ or have a friend or family member control the music for the evening. In addition to popular club music, include hits from the past. Guests will enjoy hearing songs from artists like Michael Jackson, Bel Biv Devoe and TLC. For added entertainment, hire a professional to teach guests various break dancing moves or hold a dance competition and allow guests to challenge each other to see who has the best moves.

80's Theme
An 80's theme is not only an easy theme to create, but it is one guests are sure to enjoy. In addition to the important party information on the invitations, be sure to tell guests to dress in their best 80's costumes. Women can wear skirts with leggings under them and belly shirts. Men can wear jean jackets and a concert T-shirts. For party favors, give guests glow necklaces and fluorescent hats as they arrive at the party.

Decorations should complement the decade as well. Balloons, streamers and table linens in fluorescent pink, yellow and green will instantly give the room an 80's look. Black lights will help set off the fluorescent colors. In addition to the party favors given at the door, set bowls of jelly bracelets, slap bracelets and glow sticks around the room. Not only will it add to the decor, but the guests will have fun playing with them as well. Hang posters of popular stars from the 80's around the room, and have a TV set up to play old music videos with the sound muted. A fog machine will add a great special effect to the dance area as well. For entertainment, play various songs from the 80's and let guests dance the night away.

Toga Party
A toga party is a fun theme for a 23rd birthday bash. Send invitations telling guests a toga is required. Guests can purchase togas from a costume store or they can easily make one out of a sheet. Keep extra sheets on hand in case guests arrive who are not in proper toga attire. Keep decorations to a minimum, with streamers, balloons and table linens in coordinating colors. A TV can be set up to play the movie Animal House in the background to get guests in the mood for a wild party. Keep food to a minimum as well; in fact, simply serving chips and dip is fine. Alcohol, preferably kegs of beer, is the main focus of a toga party and should be randomly placed throughout the party area. To entertain guests, make sure there is a large dance area, and turn the music up so the guests can enjoy the night.

I'm 14 and i want a job any ideas?

birthday party invitation wording for 7 year old image

jimmy s

I need a summer job staying at home all day is boring
any ideas for a 14 year old boy with these types of experiences:
i know how to use microsoft word ,acell etc
fixing cars
selling things online
building things like go karts
putting and taking things apart safely
good artist/sketching
so if anyone can give me some ideas
thanks

Answer
Here's a short list of summer jobs which you can create to generate income:

1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item.

2. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor's equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour.

3. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour.

4. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel.

5. Visit your nearest beauty salon and ask to be trained as a shampoo person who is also willing to sweep up fallen hair on the ground and do set ups [arranging dye kits, curler holders, etc.] for a set hourly fee.

6. Become a sign flipper by contacting your nearest realtor. A flipper is someone who stands at a major intersection and flips a "For Lease/Rental" sign in order to attract visitors to an open house or to a particular real estate listing. The hourly pay is at least the minimum wage.

7. Become a stand-in-line person for a ticket purchasing agency at various entertainment venues, i.e., theatres, forums, concert sites which involves getting up early and standing in line for the later appearance of a ticket agent who purchases top of the line tickets for a particular popular concert. It requires having access to a cell-phone to notify the ticket agent when your queing number comes up. So, call up you local independent ticket sales agency and offer your services for a fixed hourly fee.

Good luck!

I'm looking for "invitation wording" for my 25th birthday.?

krishafran

To be held 07-07-07. I'm just too busy to be creative, and all I've found is the same ol' "lordy lordy look who's 40", nothing for soon-to-be 25 year olds. Casual, backyard party with frozen drinks, BBQ, the usual. Any suggestions would be great! I need to send these out by Tuesday(06/26/07), so thanks in advance for the help!
Oh, I am looking for something "cheesy". I could come up with time/date, come celebrate, etc. on my own. Something creative please!

Answer
try going to polkadotdesign.com, swoozies.com, invitationconsultants.com. they have a great selection of invites to steal wording from. i would either focus on the BBQ aspect or the 07-07-07. The lucky 7's theme would be great if you were going to do a Casino night kinda thing.

and remember...you can always break up your age (21+4 she's going to celebrate...the party starts at 7 so dont be late!) OR you can say the year you were born in (Born in 1982...)

Write down every word you might want to use. Cookout, drink, tasty, twenty-five, etc. and look at the ones on those sites (look at 5th bday, BBQ, bridal showers too!...you might get some good ideas!)

I wish I could help you more but I am chasing a baby around.

Here is the wording for the invitation I just did getting ideas from some of those sites:
"We're having a cookout
its sure to be fun!
our pint-size hostess
is turning one!
Please join the party
and see whats in store!
There will be cupcakes and lunch
and so much more!"
