Also you can get some blank folded cards and envelope sets. You could get a stencil for the # 3. I would align the 3 along the fold side of the card. Trace your 3. Cut along your lines and cut out the "v" along the right side of the 3. My idea is turning the card into the # 3, but also get a multi color pack of tissue paper. Fold your tissue paper to cut strips and then cut them into squares. You could also tear pieces off randomly, which ever you like best. Another way is to cut 1' x 2' pieces and cut fringe in the 2' length, but leave about1/4 inch at the top of the 2' length for a gluing panel.. Once you have your fringe pieces you can use some white mod podge or elmer's glue and overlap your layers of tissue fringe. Turn the #3 into a pinata style invitation.

There are many templates online as well.

Vintage Party Invitations?

birthday party invitations hockey image

Jocelyn L

I'm having a 50's party for my 30th birthday this year, but I want it to be authentic (nothing hockey). Where can I find great vintage replica invitations? I've done some searches but can't find anything that doesn't look cheesy.

Thank you!

Answer
Well they wouldn't be cheap, but you could go buy little vintage posters from a craft store and attach a piece of paper with the actually information on the back, kind of cute and vintage. They would probably be expensive unless you found them on the clearance rack (i've found some very cute ones in the clearance rack at Jo-Anne's Fabrics).. or you could print something of the computer or even try making your own! ((or try craker barrell)) always good stuff, vintagey, there! Hope that helps!

party ideas?

nycgurl081

im turning 14 in december and i wanna have a party cause i havent have one since i was 9. so i decided to have a dance party. im inviting guys and girls. i have a air hockey table but i think people would get bored doing that all night and i was thinking about having DDR but that would get boring. there will be music there of course. but what else could there be? any ideas are welcomed.

Answer
Hey I'm Sandi, and I'm celebrating my 14th birthday tommorrow. I'm gonna have a dance themed party and its going to be really fun. I invited 60 of my favorite friends. The party's gonna be from 7:30-10:30. I made a party playlist on my iPod so that i can play nonstop music. I moved the couches in my basement so that there can be a little lounging area. I am also going to Party America to buy black plastic mats to lay down for the dance floor. Ahead of time, me and my friends are going to buy glow in the dark paint and dip our feet and hands in it and make hand prints and foot prints on the dance floor. It is all going to be under black lights, which i mentioned on the invitations. I am going to have a fog machine and a strobe light tomake cool effects. Also, about half way through the party I am going to give everybody about 2 feet of toilet paper. they are going to be asked to put in on there body in the most creative way. About 6 of the most creative ones will be nominated to be in the fashion show. they're going to walk down, and show how they did. Then the audience will vote by cheering on which one they liked best. The top 3 will win prizes like a free movie and such. Since my friends are a little crazy I'm only going to have candy and water, so that nobody makes a mess. If the party gets kind of dull for the poeple that dont wanna dance, I'm gonna bring out my game of twister which can be made really fun with vaseline on it. Wish me luck! I hope nothing goes wrong!

Lady bug Themed party help!?

birthday party invitations ladybug image

Q. My daughters first birthday is coming up soon and it's going to lady bug themed... I have pretty much everything set for it ( table ware, out fit, banner, cake ordered, etc...) but Instead of buy id like to make my own centerpiece decorations. Ill only need about 4. Any good ideas?

Also what are some good ideas for party favors or goodie bags for the kids attending? What do I put in them besides candy?

Thanks for help in advance!

Answer
If your theme is ladybug, then I would put things that are black and/or red or things that have polka dots in the goodie bags. Some ideas for the boys: balloons, little bouncy balls, pencils, erasers, bubbles. For the girls: toy lip gloss, bracelet bands, toy rings, note pads. Sounds like you have most of what you need already, but you didn't mention the invites. I saw an invitation here that would go well with your lady bug theme: http://www.babycachet.com/Flower_Lady_Bug_Birthday_Invitations_p/mdid0103.htm

Ideas for a 6year olds party!?!?

Q. I want the theme "tutus & tiaras" for the party, but need some ideas on what creative things I could do! Help please!

Answer
MAKE THIS A PARTY TO REMEMBER. vIDEO TAPE IT AND Take plenty of pictures so he can laugh at it 20 years later.

Write down a list of people your little one would want to invite to the party, about three weeks before the celebration. The list may include some of your son's classmates, friends from church, cousins and close family friends with children who are close in age to your child. For a smaller crowd, choose six guests from the list that your child would want to celebrate her birthday with.




Choose a theme for the party. If your little girl loves gardening, a birthday party with a flower or ladybug theme is best. If your son has become interested in sports, a party with a basketball or soccer theme will make his sixth birthday memorable.







Determine the venue for the party. If you only have a few of your son's or daughter's friends over to celebrate, your home or backyard may be suitable. If most of the kids in your son's class are attending, the local park could be a better choice.




Plan the menu. Include a general array of kid-friendly foods, or organize a menu that fits with the birthday party theme. For example, if your daughter wants a tea party for her birthday, bake a selection of cookies shaped like the number six and iced in her favorite color. Or, you can simply put together a menu most 6-year-olds would enjoy: i.e., mini-pizzas, a sundae bar, chips and cookies.




Create invitations that specifically announce your child's sixth birthday. Use phrases like "(Birthday boy)'s turning 6!" or cut out a large number 6 from invitation stock paper and add six stickers to the front of the invite. Choose colors or shapes for the invitation decorations that are among your child's favorites.




Send out invitations about two weeks before the party. Include essential details like the time the party starts, where it will take place, and the party date. Request an RSVP at the bottom of the invitation so that parents can confirm their child's attendance.


Purchase the party decorations and other supplies you'll need for the celebration. Streamers, a tablecloth and balloons will make the main party table especially festive, and a cutout of your child's favorite cartoon character can be taped to the doors or windows of the party space. Buy the items you'll need to keep the theme consistent as well. For instance, if your 6- year-old loves doing crafts, buy beads and string so that the guests can create necklaces and bracelets at the party.




Order the birthday cake, or prepare it the day before the party. Include your child's favorite colors in the icing, along with six brightly colored candles, or a large candle in the shape of the number 6.



Create party favors that display the party's theme for guests to take home, such as magnets or picture frames in the shape of the number 6. If your son's birthday party has a basketball theme, purchase orange circular gift bags; fill the bags with candy, mini-posters of basketball players, and a tiny replica of a basketball.

How do I organize a murder mystery party at home?

birthday party invitations free online image

volatile22

I want to organize a murder mystery party at home, where guests come over and are given specific characters. Does anyone know how I could go about this? There's kits and stuff online, but they're all on sale, I'm looking for a free one, any ideas?

Answer
Write your own. It's free, easy-ish to do, and you (knowing your guests better than most people) can give them characters that you wrote with them in mind.

Start with a setting, characters and why they're all together. e.g. it's Don Delfino's birthday, but the gangster's been found dead. All the guests have motives, from the money-hungry fifth wife to the bitter daughter. Setting is the Don's restaurant. Characters are:
Lola Delfino: the Don's fifth wife
Danny Delfino: the greedy son
Darla Delfino: the daughter cut off from the family fortune, etc.
Jimmy Jones: an infamous "businessman" and friend of the family.

Clues: gun, note from murderer threating the Don/ another character, etc.
Create a time line for the event e.g.
6.30 guests arrive
6.40 Jimmy welcomes everyone
6.45 the Don is shot (you could play a gunshot sound effect)
6.50 character finds first clue

On invitations/email/whatever set the mystery for the guests, give them their character and the character's background, as well as the names and backgrounds of the other characters e.e.

It's 20's Chicago and business is booming. At least for Don Delfino. And hey, by the way, you're been invited to his birthday. It's the biggest night of the year. And Don wouldn't want you to miss it. Hopefully he won't either...
Your character is: Jimmy Jones
Your background: Even though you've been telling everyone you've been "doing business" in NY, you've actually been on the inside for the past 2 years. And it's because the Don framed you. Hey, you didn't actually think he'd take the fall for anything. Did you?

You could also plan finger food around the theme you choose, and get costumes if you want.

Good luck!

I am planning a fashion show birthday for my niece and need ideas on invitations?

Heather S

I do not have a big budget so I am trying to either make them or print free ones. Any suggestions?

Answer
Buy some card stock. Go to google images and type "fashion show" or "project runway", and print out one of those images. Another idea, that might include you niece in making the invitations, would be to buy a fashion magazine and cut out pictures that she can use to decorate the cover of the invitation. The inside should give the specifics about the party (date, time, location etc.)

Here is a site that lets you print out invitations for free:

http://invitation-nation.com/party.html?kw=0&cid=4&catid=163

If all else fails, you can buy invitations online. Here is a suggestion:

Birthday party ideas for a 16 year old girl?

birthday party invitations bowling image

icesk8er

Does anyone have any good ideas for a 16th birthday party? I have a medical condition which limits my physical activity (my sports are limited to swimming only right now). I'd like to keep things affordable. Any ideas? Thanks!

Answer
For me at that age (17 now) I just wanted to have fun and chat all night. So we didn't really have anything planned, we were just gonna go with the flow, see what would happen. We put mattresses in the living room, hired some movies and we'd see what we'd do. The only thing that I really had planned was the food. I always like doing something special in that area, like, for example: to gourmet (I'm not sure if that's the word in English (I'm Dutch)), which is where there's a big heating plate on the table and everyone's got it's own little pan to cook. Chocolate Fondue is also real fun to do together, a big pan full with chocolate fondue (http://www.lhj.com/home/Chocolate-Fondue... and then all kinds of fruits, cookies and cake to dip in it. Or to bake pancakes together or for everyone to create it's own pizza. Or to create your own desert with buckets of icecream, fruits, sauces, whipped cream etcetera etcetera. Although this may be a bit more cheezy and young then mature. (I still like it tho)

Also what always will be fun: bowling, miniature golf, swimming, giving each other beauty masks and makeovers and all the other cheesy, cliche girly stuff.

If you're not having a sleepover, just a fancy dinner party is so much fun as well, especially when you all prepare it together! With the whole invitation thing and fancy dress code, even tho you might not be that fancy at all!

PS: at my party: we ended up watching all the movies rented, making a walk through the forest at 2AM, having huge english breakfast and having chocolate fondue and pizza for dinner.

What theme should i use for a joint birthday party?

I can't kn

My daughter will be two on November 15 and my little sister will be 11 on November 5.... My sister asked me to do a joint birthday party this year. I'm sure its what my sister wants and I don't feel like it would be taking away from my daughter they absolutely adore each other! I want a theme that will be fun for the older kids but still age appropriate for the lil ones its mainly going to be a family party with just a few close friends for each girl. I already know the main food will be my homemade pulled pork as its traditional for all my family birthday party's. Each child will have their own cake as they will both be blowing out the candles. I also already have a venue in mind.
Now I think I've covered everything!
If you have an idea for a theme that both girls would enjoy please answer!!!

Answer
How about a princess-for-a-day theme? It should be fun for the older girls to be treated like royalty, yet still magical for the younger ones!


Snack ideas:

~ Spark-mallows: Stick a decorative toothpick into a marshmallow. Dip the marshmallow into milk, then into Jello powder or Pop Rocks candy. Serve on a decorative plate.
~ Sweet Salad: Take melon balls, cut up strawberries, berries, etc topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with sugar. Maybe serve with a fruit smoothie.
~ Princess Puffs:
Bake frozen pastry puffs and cool. Fill them with whipped cream and top with powdered sugar. Drizzle with melted chocolate.
~ Fairy Tale Mini Fondue: Gather ¾ cup heavy cream, 21 ounces chopped white chocolate, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Heat the cream in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat until itâs hot, which usually takes 2-3 mintes. Then, add the white chocolate and stir until it is melted. Then, stir in the vanilla and pour it into a decorative bowl. You can use strawberries, berries, cake, etc for dipping.

Drink idea:
~ Princess Punch: Mix any flavor of Kool Aid with 1/2 cup of sugar, and add 2 quarts of cold water. Pour in a can of frozen grape concentrate, then stir until it is all dissolved. Then pour in a 2-liter bottle of cold ginger ale, stir gently, and serve. I suggest making this in a punch bowl.

For the cake, I would suggest getting it from a skilled baker, or even better, making it yourself. Then, you can customize it however you like. I would suggest using edible glitter on it, and instead of having regular candles, use sparkler candles.

Also, on the invitation, you could make a dress code and have everyone dress in royal attire. Give the birthday princesses tiaras!

There are many, many ideas on the internet for princess parties on the internet, Iâll include a few links at the end.

Hope this helps, and hope they both have a great birthday! ~â¥

What are the best games to play at slumber parties?

camping party ideas kids image

Kodiakk

My 8 yo son is having a camping party in the backyard .Ages are 7-9 years old about 10-14 kids any ideas for some fun safe games?

Answer
Something really fun would be to set up a scavenger hunt for the kids. hide items or describe things that can be found in your backyard (something tiny that crawls... something green and alive) anything like that and the first team to collect them all gets like icecream first or something. another fun game would be to have a water balloon fight or water gun fight.. it is summer so anything water is awesome haha. Capture the flag is a fun game too. Have two teams divide the yard in half and have kids have a flag area and a jail area. They run across trying to snatch the opposing teams flag and if they are tagged they go to jail. The kids can be freed from jail if someone from their team comes to get them or if they escape without the jail guards catching them. Kinda chaotic but fun..


There are a ton of fun ideas on this website..
http://www.funattic.com/game_list.htm

I like the water games best!

Hope you have a happy party!

I need help with wording for my dad's 50th birthday invitations?

birthday party invitations grown ups image

Syrian gir

I am throwing my dad a surprise 50th birthday party. I thought it would be neat to have the theme as the 60's and 70's since that was when he grew up, the only problem is I can't figure out what to say in his invitation. I want something unique and that goes with the theme. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer
It depends on the type of person your father was when he was growing up. It is entirely possible that he and his friends don't remember most of the 60's and 70's so you can word the invitation any way you want.
Just have every one bring a favorite memory, put them all in a binder and have fun reading the memories. These and be signed or unsigned depending on the writers desire to remain a respectable member of the community.

Should I do a separate or joint invitation?

birthday party invitations joint image

gcoolie

My son is turning 3 and his cousin is turning 7. We've decided to do a combined birthday party. I'm planning to send out an evite as the invitation. Should I make a separate evite for family and a separate evite for my friends so my friends do not feel obligated to bring two gifts? My friends do not know my son's cousin who is turning 7.

Answer
If they don't know about the cousin's birthday, it would probably be most appropriate to send out to different e-vites.

How do I politely explain that gifts are NOT expected at my birthday party?

Casey

I'm having a joint birthday party with a friend of mine in November at a local Mexican restaurant. I'm getting ready to send out the invitation email in a few weeks, and I want to make sure that everyone knows that neither I nor my friend expect gifts. We just want everyone to have fun and come hang with us. I'm afraid if I mention the gift thing in the email, however, it'll almost sound like I'm sort of fishing for gifts. You know? How would you phrase it?

Answer
I would simply say, screw the gifts, bring your empty stomachs and alcoholic tendencies to the party.

What are good themes for elementary dances?

camping party decorations kids image

Melody M

I am in charge of coming up with a theme for our kindegarden and 1st grade mommy-son dance. Last year we did 70s and each kid took home a tie dyed shirt. The year before they dressed western and ate BBQ and got a hat. I need a fresh idea that is relatively easy for parents to dress as, and inexpensive to put on. We have very limited time as a parent backed out and I took over at the last minute. 3 weeks!! We have a DJ, and we have food. I need decoration/costume ideas that young kids will be familiar with and adults will enjoy. Some ideas we have thrown around so far are:

pirates
superheroes
50's sock hop (i.e. Grease)
prehistoric (cavemen)

any thoughts or comments or other themes?
thanks

Answer
Hey, Theme dances are always a good time, I used to work at a summer camp for 5 years and we had at least one every session. Of the themes you listed I would go with ether the pirates or super heros. Sock hops just aren't fun for kids these days, they don't get them. Pre-historic could be fun, but you wont get very inventive costumes really. With Pirates or super heros, you can really get imaginative with a costume while keeping appropriate. Some themes that worked well for me that I have used have been beach party themes, Colorful theme (have them dress in their favorite/s colors and you can have odd colored food and such), and another popular one is like a movie theme, where you dress like your favorite actor or actress. That last one might not be great for the age group but its somthing to think about. Those are my thoughts on it, but from your list deffinatly pirtates or superheros.

I am looking for unique first birthday ideas. My son is turning one in September, and since it will be mostly?

Melissa Yo

I am looking for unique first birthday ideas. My son is turning one in September, and since it will be mostly adult friends at the party, i am looking for something that is not cutesy and cheesy! Any ideas or ideas of places to look for crafty ideas? thanks.

Answer
What about a camp theme? It isn't too cutesy, and there are lots of fun ways to make it perfect for adults.

The color scheme is easy - green and brown for the woods. There are some new camping theme paper goods available as well - http://www.birthdayexpress.com/browse/_/N-i/Ntt-camp/results1.aspx?AID=10645522&PID=1151654

Serve "camp food", hot dogs, kool aid, granola/trail mix, smores (yum!) and popcorn.

Lanterns and small branches from trees in vases are fun decorations. Wildflowers are great too. Set out any forest themed stuffed animal you have...bears, owls, foxes. Throw a few pinecones around for good measure. Set up one of those fake flame torches (sold usually for Halloween) on the buffet and surround it with wood for a fake fire!

Have a fire if you can (September should be perfect weather for it).

Play good camp music. Almost anything by Bob Denver is great. Or get an audio recording of ghost stories!

Have a camping theme movie playing on the tv - Ernest Goes to Camp, Daddy Day Camp, The Great Outdoors, Meatballs are a few to choose from

Have everyone leave messages for your son to read when he is older by signing something with a camp theme... a canoe paddle, a camp t-shirt, a duffle bag.

Party favors are easy - inexpensive items like whistles, compasses, travel sized bug sprays or sunscreen, flashlights. They work for the theme and are useful too!

We have a Bar/Bat Mitzvah Camp theme party. You'll have to adapt some of the ideas but it has more decoration and favor ideas in it.http://www.party411.com/PlanYourParty/Occasion/BarBatMitzvah/LetsgotoCamp.aspx

We have several more kid's birthday themes here if you'd rather do something different, adults would probably enjoy bowling, circus, outerspace and cowboy too

how to jehovah witnesses celebrate the conception of Christ?

80th birthday party invitations wording image

witness913

they refuse to celebrate any birthday, but just because the bible does not order us to celebrate the inception or the birth, what is so wrong with celebrating the birthday, symbolically, of Christ's arrival, whether at inception or birth? JWs believe Christ was probably born closer to September, why do they not set aside an event to celebrate that? They seem to deprive themselves and their children from celebrating much of anything. I find this less than humble.

Answer
Jehovah's Witnesses often reject birthdays as "pagan" and will therefore refuse to participate in them. In addition to this, Witnesses also reject birthdays because they claim that they are placed in an unfavourable light in the Bible. The Bible only mentions two instances of birthdays (at least explicitly). These are Genesis 40:20-22, and Matthew 14:6-10. Two pagan rulers are in view: Pharaoh and Herod.

Jehovah's Witnesses argue that as negative things happened on these men's birthdays, then all birthdays must be evil. This is clearly a case of guilt by association as far as the Watchtower is concerned. But is this really sound reasoning? What is the source of the evil in the Biblical accounts? The birthdays or the men (Pharaoh and Herod) themselves? Obviously, it is the men who did the evil. There is nothing to suggest that these men did evil because of their birthdays. These men did evil all the time not just on their birthdays. Also, in the Genesis account, Pharaoh also did some good by setting a man free!

Witnesses often argue that there is no mention of birthdays being celebrated by any of God's servants in the Bible. Although there are no explicit references, it would appear that there is a possible implicit reference to birthday celebrations in Job (Job 1:4, 5). If this is talking about birthday celebrations, they seem to be being spoken of favourably. Job talks about Job's sons each holding a feast on "his day". In Job 3:1-4, the same Hebrew word for "day" (yowm) is used when Job curses the "day" of his birth.

Another point worth considering is that of the vast amount of chronological data in the Bible, regarding the ages of people. Obviously, there can be no doubt that Jews and Christians were certainly keeping track of people's ages. Just a couple of brief example: Moses was 40 when he was called and died at age 80 in the wilderness. There is even the recording of Jesus' age, when He was 12 and visited Jerusalem with His parents (Luke 2:42). Are we really to conclude that the arrival of a persons birthday would produce no celebration, or emotional response at all? In the light of the fact that Christians were certainly keeping a record of people's ages, one could easily imagine that such an occasion could well lead to some sort of celebration. What is an individuals definition of `celebration`?

There is nothing explicit in the Bible that that commands us to celebrate or not to celebrate birthdays. Rather, the Bible has given us a general guide on this issue when it says that we should each be convinced in our own minds (Rom. 14:5) as to the importance or non-importance of a particular day, and that it should be a matter for the conscience of the individual, between them and God, as to whether we celebrate that day or not. However, in contrast to all this, the Watchtower clearly enforces the non-celebration of certain days, to the point that a person's standing before God Himself is in jeopardy, if a birthday is celebrated in any way. The sad thing about all of this is that it is the Jehovah's Witnesses themselves who end up suffering, particularly their young people. Jehovah's Witness children can be made to feel unnecessarily isolated from their class mates when they have to decline invitations to birthday parties, and non-Witness relatives can be unnecessarily offended by the refusal of JW relatives to send them birthday or Christmas cards.

God Bless!

how to get good grades in 7th without getting distracted?

Lacey

well for starters , i never give it my all when im doing work .
grades ; math 65 history 70 english 80 science 80

But ! i want to get into a very good high school "poly" that's one of the hardest schools to get into , you need an 80 average ..... i could have good grades but i get distracted by friends or really anything , no i dont have adhd . i need tips and open to new answers , thanks(:

Answer
Here's a few good ideas.
For getting distracted during class:
Ask your teacher if you can switch seats so that you aren't near your friends. If you don't want your friends to get their feelings hurt, ask the teacher if she can move a couple people around or move you during class like you got in trouble or something so it doesn't look like you asked to move or something. It might be boring at first, but if you really want this, you have to work for it.
Sitting near the front of the class can also help, too, because you may not be as tempted to not pay attention. If you have time where you work by yourself in class, ask if you can bring an iPod so that you can play like instrumental music (not necessarily classical, if that's not your thing, you can go to stereomood.com and pick instrumental for some cool, but still instrumental music) Instrumental music is helpful because it distracts you from people around you, but you aren't distracted by the words of the song, either. If you aren't allowed iPods, you can try just earplugs or something.

For staying focused outside of school, getting organized can help a lot. Try to study outside of your room as much as possible (you aren't tempted to watch TV, play video games, get on computer, etc) and talk to your parents about wanting to buckle down so they can help be accountable for you. As for getting organized, get a separate binder/folder for each class, and put all your work/notes/study material in designated binder/folder. Then, decide how much study time you need to have per subject. Let's say you decide one hour per class per week (I can't remember how difficult seventh grade was, but I suggest you pick higher numbers =] ) Anyway, write out a schedule for your whole week that includes sleep, free time, time you're in school, eating, study time, and hygiene time, getting ready time, etc, etc. List EVERYTHING you can think of. You may want to start out by studying more than you think you should, so that 1. You can overprepare yourself and see how that improves your grades. If you like your grades, stick with it. If you don't like them, raise the study hours, and if you are making 100% on everything, and every test you finish in 2 seconds, you can probably lower your study time ;) and 2. If something comes up (your friend asks you to come to a birthday party last minute and you really don't want to miss), you still have other study time that will help make up for it.

Last, but not least: WILL POWER.. I know it's difficult, but saying yes to one birthday party invitation is fine. Going out every night of the week and never studying is quite a different story. Learn when to say no to friends and yes to studying. Sometimes, you just have to work for what you want. If they are your true friends, they will stay with you through this difficult time you have to get your grades up.

I know you can do it!! :)

Where in Las Vegas do they sell Despicable Me party supplies?

birthday party invitations amazon image

Anonymous

My niece is having a birthday party and we want it to be despicable me themed. She loves the movie so we thought it would be pretty cool. i just dont know where to find the supplies & invitations for the party. help?

Answer
Did you try a party store? There is one in Bocca Park in Summerlin, but I'm sure there are other stores around Las Vegas. You can also try ordering supplies online. I just found a Gru Vs Vector cake topper on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/Despicable-Gru-Vector-Cake-Topper/dp/B003Y3OLW8/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1357608643&sr=1-1&keywords=Despicable+Me

Unfortunately, the only other supplies I was able to find are costumes for about $30 each. Depending on your budget, though, and what they look like you may be able to use them as decorations. Toys R Us seems to have the most of them.

http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=despicable%20me&origkw=despicable+me&f=Taxonomy/TRUS/2254197&sr=1

I'd probably do that and use on online image to either print out my own invitations or take it to an invitation shop to have them custom make them.

What can I do for a surprise party?

Nanna Bear

I need to plan a surprise party for my friend, have it at my own house, and I can't spend too much money. Any ideas?

Answer
Okay well you need to send invitations. Make sure you tell them it's a surprise party and to keep quiet about it! On the invite tell people to bring a desert or you can assign people things. (If their last name starts with an A-H, they bring soda, etc.) If you go to a party supply store like Party Tree, you can get low cost party items. Target and Wal*Mart have good ones too. You can make your own surprise signs and Happy Birthday signs. If you need help ask one of your other friends to help you with the decorating (you could even split the costs!).


Good Luck!
Have fun!!

What are good birthday party ideas for an 11 year old?

mayalovesn

My daughter's birthday is June 5th and she wants to have a slumber party. However, I think that would be too much trouble and tried to convince her to do something else. She told me that kids her age don't do parties at places anymore. Any ideas?

Answer
If you have backyard, you can suggest her throwing a camping party. Invite 3-4 of her best friends to join the party. Setting up the tend themselves will be one of interesting activities. Don't forget to provide plenty of foods, so they can roast over the open flames. This way, you can still watch their activity, yet your daughter wish about a slumber birthday celebration is met.

what are some good ideas for a 10 year olds birhtday party?

birthday party invitations 3 year old image

chelsea

my 10 year old sister is having a birthday party and its ganna be held at our house. shes inviting like 7-10 of her girl friends and i was ganna do their hair and makeup..but i mean, what else should we do? pictures? ideas?

Answer
This is just a cute quick idea for anybody probably ages 10-teen The night before you are hosting your party go to the supermarket and buy a bunch of icecream and a bunch of toppings.INVITATIONS- Anything colorful and creative:You probably want to involve something with icecream on the invite. If the kids are younger you might want to tell them to bring old clothing. Before the party fill a spacious room with 2-3 tables and you put disposable table cloths onto each table.Depending on how many kids there are that is how many tables you will need. On each table put any size pan but all the pans should be the same size. On each table put 2-3 tubs of any flavor ice cream the kids enjoy. Put the same amount and the same kinds of icecream toppings on the table and appliances (like spoons plastic or not)When the kids arrive (at about five) dont let them in that particular room yet because you will want to keep it a surprise for the other kids or your kid if it is a surprise. Have everyone gather into a different room than the one with the tables and just let them hang out until 5:15. After that if you have a pool let them swim for about an hour.(until 6:20) and then have them come in for dinner (pizza or anything you want it depends on how everyone likes food or what kinds of food they like)After dinner it will probably be about 6:45-6:50 and gather the kids into the room with the tables and split them into 2-3 teams depending on how many kids are coming. Tell them they have a certain amount of time to make an ice cream cake(I'D SAY ABOUT 45 MINUTES)at the end of those 45 minutes everyone will vote for which cake is more good looking and that will be the cake they have for the persons birthday. When thats done at about 7:50 let the kids get dressed again and take them outside at eight where there will be music and a bar with drinks like soda and lemonade whatever the kids like and snacks if you want you can make up fake money for the kids to purchase that kind of stuff. Dance the night away until about eleven go inside and open your gifts and at eleven thirty change back into your bathing suit and go for a late night swim until 12:45 settle into a jacuzzi or go inside. When your inside change into your pjs. set up your sleeping bags pop in a movie and make popcorn and have a tiny piece of the other cake.play truth or dare or paint nails or do facials until everyone falls asleep. The first one to fall asleep will have a bunch of practical jokes played on them. In the morning have a breakfast buffet and you could swim again too. Give each girl a body lotion and lipgloss. Have their parents come at 12p.m.

Is it appropriate to request "no gifts, please" on my 3-year-old's birthday party invitation?

Q. I will be inviting about 20 children and their parents to my daughter's birthday party. Most of these children go to daycare with her, but the parents don't know each other very well. We always attend parties she is invited to but hate having no idea what to get for kids I don't know! I think I may be saving other parents that same feeling I have every time I open another invitation. Am I wrong?

Answer
I don't blame you- I wouldn't want 20 pieces of junk sitting around my house for me to clean up. Chances are your three-year old just got a bunch of toys for Christmas and doesn't need any more.

I would request, "You and your child's presence is the best present- No gifts, please" on the invitation just like that.

You may recieve gifts and you should send a thank you note for the gift because some people just can't show up without a little token gift.
