Birthday Parties.....?

Kimberly M

My daughter will be starting Pre-K August 6th. Her 5th birthday will be on September 8th. We still have the "family" parties, so my question is- should I have one party for her Pre-K class (that will include about 16 kids if they all attend) and a seperate party for the family, or just one big party? I am not sure how it goes with inviting the whole class. I know you have to send an invitation to everyone but how many of them usually come? Just trying to get some feedback on the issue for budgeting... any comments appreciated
Do you think it would help if I had the party at the end of september to give her 2 full months to make friends with the kids at the Pre-K?

Answer
No need to have a seperate party
talk to her teacher to see what is customary in the classroom
usually the parent sends treats & or party favors
be sure to ask the teacher about allergies amongst the class as some are very serious like peanut allergies & that is a very hidden ingredient in most store bought treats
If & when your daughter asks for a party with friends a simple way of dealing with how many to attend is tell her she may invite the amont of friends as her new age will be
5 yr b-day = 5 friends
6 yr b-day= 6 friends ect.

then give her ideas that you are willing to do for the party
afternoon tea party (dress up in adult dresses & accessories)

beach party ( get beach theme activities at the dollar store & use a wading pool or sprinkler in the backyard)

sleep over-1) paint fingernails & toenails, give each other facials & make-over's & hair- do's(....this one is better a little closer to pre- teen age)

sleep over 2) movies popcorn slumber party

sleep over3) backyard camping : tent, sleeping bags, make s'mores ect

roller skating party

bulid- a- bear workshop

so many ideas I could go on forever

8 year old birthday party at an equestrian center?

Heather M

Would you let your 8 year old go to a birthday party where there would be pony rides or would you think it would be too dangerous? My daughter wants to have her party at an equestrian center which hosts birthday parties and gives pony rides--the pony is on a lead rope--but last time we went, two ponies became startled and kicked off their riders. One little girl's wrist was broken. I'm okay with the risks of horseback riding, but before I agree to having her party there and invite her classmates, do you think their parents will even let them go?

Answer
I think its a great idea. On the invitation just have, "Parents are requested to stay" printed with the location. That way the parent can judge for themselves We added that on the roller rink parties when the kids were younger and we knew here would be some that could not skate.
We've never had a parent complain. If they couldn't stay they had another parent cover for them. At 8 I'd think they'd want to stay with the kids.
Good luck.

What to write on my Birthday party invitation?

Kiley(:

Woo, celebrating my birthday on December 11th (which is not my birthday, but very close to). :) I'm going to go roller skating. There will be about 10 people there, so I decided now is a good time to do the whole invitation thing. I don't want to do the whole, "You're invited!" cheesy thing. What can I write on the front that's appropriate for a 14th birthday party?

Sorry! I don't know why Yahoo put this question into this category.

Answer
''You are Cordially Invited To''
I'm just kidding.
You could put:

Skate On Over To [Your Name Here]'s sweet 14!
And have like a picture of a roller skate or a invitations that look like roller skates.
...I never thought I'd be answering a question like this in Woman's Health, lol.

Happy B-day! My B-day is next month too haha.
Dec. 30th I will be 20 XD

I need to start planning my birthday party now! Oh no! What should I do?

iheart_you

I was thinking about a roller skating party. Any ideas on how to decorate, what to eat, what to wear, and any other things? My birthday is on January 11th and I need to decide now to mail the invitations. Thanks! :) â¥

Answer
Hey!! When's your birthday??? A roller skating party sounds really awesome and super fun! Some other ideas though might be to go to a movie theater or mall, rock climbing, or even at an amusement park! For the roller skating party, I would decorate with cardboard snowflakes, fake snow, and try to make it as much of a winter wonderland as you can!! Food is a huge factor when planning a party! It is important to get something that everyone will like and is yummy!!! I would suggest ordering pizzas, bringing warm hot chocolate, and for snacks something like cookies, brownies, or chips!! Of course, no birthday would be complete without an ice cream cake! Choose your favorite flavor of cake (chocolate, vanilla, lemon,etc.) favorite ice cream flavor (cookies & cream, mint chocolate chip, strawberry, ect.) and there you go! You will definitely want to be warm at the party but not overly hot and sweaty! Maybe wear a light sweater, skirt with leggings, and warm socks with the skates!! Or you could wear a sweater with skinny jeans (regular jeans are fine too but I have found that skinny jeans go inside of skates better), mittens, and a nice scarf! Also, it would be cool if you gave away small goodie bags away at your party! I know that when my friends gave goodie bags away at their parties, it helped me to remember what a great time I had and you are giving them something as well as them giving you birthday gifts!! The goodie bags don't have to be expensive either! You can just put small items in them like lipgloss, chapstick , candy, stuffed animals, necklaces/bracelets, mittens, bubbles and anything else you think they may like! Games are really fun at parties too, so you guys can play truth or dare, board games, hide and seek, card games, or any new ones you can invent you own! The main thing is to make sure you have everything planned out for your birthday a few days in advance at least so that there will never be a dull moment at you party and everyone will have tons of fun!!

⥠I hope this helps! â¥
Happy Holidays!
