I am hosting an 80th birthday party for my Dad. On the invitations, how can I respectfully ask for no gifts?

Gringa

My Dad's motto has always been, If I need it, I will buy it, If I don't need it, I don't want it. Simply typing no gifts sounds a little harsh to me.

Answer
The generally accepted way to designate no gifts is just to write "Please, no gifts" in the bottom corner of the invitation.

If it's a less formal invitation, just write what you've told us: "Please, no gifts. As you all know, Dad's motto is, 'If I need it, I'll buy it. If I don't need it, I don't want it'."

I'm sure it will be a lovely birthday party, good luck to you and your father!

17th Birthday: Black Light Party Ideas??!?

PRINCESS

My best friend and I are having our 17th birthday party together this spring and it's going to be a black light party with strobe lights too.. it's going to be pretty big- with 80 kids from our junior class. We already have a location but we were wondering if you guys could come up with ANY good ideas to help us out like food, decorations, invitations, ect. Thanks!!

Answer
I'm holding a small 18th birthday party next month that will have black light. I was reading on websites that it's a good idea to make things glow. Like, put gummy worms/bears in a bowl and have a glowstick at the bottom. There some sort of technique called "glowstringing" but I don't know exactly what it is. I'm interested to see answers because I don't have a lot of ideas for my party either and it'll be in February or early march.
