I am hosting a surprise party for my husband, and I would really like it to be adults only, the problem is we have a family FULL of children. How do I politely word this on the invite? I don't want to put "adults only" Any other ideas???

Answer
Can the people you're inviting easily attend without their children? If so, I see no problem with putting straight-forwardly on the invites that it's grown-ups only.

If the people (or some of the people) you're inviting cannot easily attend without their children, then maybe a friend or relative would host a kids' party at the same time. You could coordinate the invites so that people realize that their needs are being taken into consideration as well.

What are good ideas for my party?

My 16th birthday is coming up so I wanted to have a really different theme for a party. I didn't want anything fancy or classy like most girls do at my age, so I settled on a Superhero Sweet Sixteen party. I thought it would be different and fun to dress up with my family and friends. Do you have any ideas for decorations, invitations, lights etc..? I'm having it at a club, if that helps. :) Thank You!

Hi

I'm a professional party planner. I have a page of Superhero party ideas on my site at:

http://www.party-ideas-by-a-pro.com

Go to Party Themes A-Z then select Superhero.

A lot of the ideas are aimed at kid's but there are some for adults too, and I'm sure you could adapt some of the ideas to suit your age group. Ideas include:

Invitations made out of Superhero eye masks

Invitation wording

Superhero themed drinks recipes:
Red, White & Blue Captain America drinks
Green Hulk Juice
Black 'Dark Knight' punch
Purple Joker Juice

Superhero themed food:

Batman logo shaped black bread sandwiches
Superman logo toasted sandwiches
Green Jell-O Kryptonite
Hulk Gamma Ray Pea Soup Shots
Captain America Red, White, and Blue Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
Captain America Red, White, and Blue Ice Pops

Decoration and Styling Tips inc:

Line trays with comic book covers
Make food cones out of comic book covers
Make a home-made Bat-signal

There are also ideas for Superhero party games but most of these are aimed at kids, although you might be able to adapt the Superhero training obstacle course and substitute with more age-appropriate challenges / dares / forfeits etc.

Hope that helps
