How do I word in an invitation that only one parent admission will be paid for at a child's birthday party?

6th birthday party invitations image

aracelly_d

My son is having his 6th birthday party at a museum. The party package includes 15 guests, parents/children. I want to make it clear in my invitation that only one parent/chaperone admission will be paid for and that if any other parent/chaperone decides to join they will have to pay the $4 fee. How should I word it? Is this a good idea, or should I just fork up the money for everyone attending?

Answer
i think its fair that you are paying for the children and 1 parent each. besides $4.00 isnt a bad price if someone else wants to attend. heres a suggestion on how to word it:

Admission has been paid for each child and one guardian per child. Anyone else wanting to attend with your family is required to pay a $4.00 fee at the door. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you there.

Also, make sure you let them know that they can call you if they have any questions at all. good luck!!!

What's the best way to ask for gift cards in lieu of presents for a birthday party?

birthday party invitations no presents image

Q. I live in Hawaii and I'm planning my son's 1st birthday party that will be held in Texas (where all our family lives). Although we appreciate any gesture and don't expect gifts from anyone, how should I suggest gift cards if someone wants to get him something in the invitation? The shipping cost to get multiple gifts to our house would be very expensive and we all ready paying for our plane tickets to get over there and the entire party for 75+ people. You're suggestions are very appreciated!

Answer
"Our suitcases are as full as they can be with diapers. wipes and thus
please understand that we can't take things back with us"

How to split a birthday party with a friend?

Q. So, me and my best friend have a birthday one week apart from each other so we were thinking about having both of our birthday parties at the same place and same time and our parents could split the cost. The problem is, i dont think our friends would bring two presents for us for one party?? What should i do?

Answer
First, I'm gonna breakdown the other two answers and tell you [what i like and don't like] (<--my thoughts will be in brackets [ ] )
---
"Is all you really care about the gifts friends will bring? [srsly, bro? criticizing up a storm, are we?]Your birthdays are only a week apart, so if they can only bring one gift to your shared party, then chances are only one of you will get a gift prior to the party/at seperate parties. [I don't think it's a matter of IF they can only bring one...someone missed the boat, by a lot] If the presents are really what matters - tell your friends that you 2 prefer they bring gift cards or money so that the 2 of you are able to share everything equally. [not a bad idea. Hell, just tell 'em to bring cash. I <3 cash] I would think that the shared experience of a birthday would be enough though. [meh...i rely on my b-day & xmas to keep my bank account healthy] It's peoples PRESENCE not the presents that make it the most memorable. [I just love cliches...this is sarcasm btw)

Have the party together [yes, do!], forget about the 2 gift part from friends [srsly?].. That just leads to jealousy. Anyways, your parents are saving cash and will prob put more of the cash towards gifts for you vs them spending all the money on one party). [don't be so sure.]

Happy Birthday a bit early, and have a good year."

[Indeed, Happy early Birthday!]
-----------
Ask them to donate some money to charity [*chokes, falls oput of chair, dies] instead of bringing 2 gifts for you. it's a chance to do a great thing. [idk about you, but i'm kinda sick of helping people <.<]
-------------------------
I'm not so sure I agree with you, TJ. I think people might bring 2 presents. If your invitation says...

You're invited to
[you] and [other person]'s joint party @ [place] at [time]

...then how could they only bring one present? they'd have to choose who to bring a present for, which they (hopefully) won't do xD
If I were in their shoes, I'd bring 2. 2 people, 2 presents. Or just a sh*t-load of $$$ :)

Here's what I'd do if I was you, hun...I'd buy myself something special from Tiffany's...then again, you're probably not having a significant bday, so maybe you should wait until your Sweet 16

By the way, if you're bday is mid- to late-june, you should totally invite me...i might be in Cali then. But just as a warning, i'd probably only bring 1 present xD

What is a good amount of challenges for a survivor party?

camping party invitation ideas image

Coolbean

I'd like to have a
survivor themed
birthday party for
when I turn thirteen
I want it to start in the afternoon
and go into evening but no
later than like 10:30 at night.
If I start it at 4:30 or five thirty
How many challenges do you
think I could fit in?

Answer
You're going to need someone to act as Jeff Probst and explain the challenges, hand out the buffs, etc. Make sure it's someone who is willing to wear something like Jeff.

For invitations you should put little notes in glass bottles or you could roll the invitation up the way tree mail comes on the show. Make sure to tell them to be prepared to Outwit, Outlast, Outplay.

When your friends arrive have a jar (that you can't see trough) ready with different colored buffs. Let everyone pick one and get into their teams. Also, have names ready for both of the teams.

Set up two picnic tables and have tents pitched on opposite sides of the yard... Have one tiki torch for each person, on each team (They don't have to be lit... that could be dangerous).

Let the teams check out their camps and have a note waiting inside each tent. The note can tell them to report to their first reward challenge.

If you want to make this really fun and have memories of your party, see if one of your friends who doesn't want to participate, or your family members, want to film it. They can film it like the confessionals on survivor! They can interview different people and ask them why they think they are going to win and what they think of their team members, etc.... Make sure you do it away from others, so it will be a surprise when everyone watches it later.

Now, have the person doing Jeff's job announce the first reward challenge which can be for a prize. The challenge idea is from the link below:
WATER BRIGADE: I set this up along the sidewalk and had the two teams go different directions. On one end was a bucket full of water and on the other end an empty cup. The goal is to transfer the water from one bucket to the cup using small cups (the ones that come on the medicine bottles). They had to pass the cup to next player and so on until the cup was filled.

Send the teams back to camp and serve them rice and coconut slices! Now have someone deliver tree mail to the camps about the Immunity Challenge.
A great idea for this challenge is to get some random stuff such as: baseball bases, hula hoops, spare pieces of carpet... basically anything that can be stepped on, or in. Make sure to give both teams the same supplies. Make a start and end for both teams and give them the instructions. The goal of the game is to get your entire team to the end without stepping out of, or off of the supplies they've been given. If anyone does so, the entire team must go back to the start. Make sure you give them less supplies than there are team members, that way a lot of them have to crowd onto one item! The winning team gets immunity and gets to watch tribal counsel.

Tribal Counsel:
Set this up how you like... make sure no one gets their feelings hurt!

It would be really fun to have a food reward after that. Give everyone the same amount of monopoly money and let them bet on the food and cake you are serving. Make sure to have lots of kinds of stuff!

1st birthday party etiquette invitations for out of state family not attending--should I send invitations?

birthday party invitations etiquette image

Imnotsweet

I'm sending out invitations for my baby's 1st birthday party. Most of our family is out of state and I know they won't attend. Is it forward of me to send out at evite or mail them an invitation?

Answer
Maybe email them and say "Wish you could be here for Baby's First Birthday". You never know and depending on how close family they are, they might just turn up so best to include them. We flew from the island where we live to attend our baby grandson's birthday.

College Graduation Facebook Invitation Etiquette - How do we decline and is a gift necessary?

Leah

My Aunt has invited us to another gathering for another one of her kids hoping for money or gifts, yet again. (She has 5 kids, 4 are adults and one has married and moved out.) This gathering happens to be for my cousin who is only a couple years younger than me. She graduated with a psychology degree from an online school and so her mom is throwing her a graduation party. The invites were through a Facebook invitation event but it's a super huge deal and everyone she knows is invited. I was under the impression that the huge graduation open houses ended after high school and that the college graduation celebrations were more immediate or supportive family and close friends.

Even though they are adults, my aunt throws each offspring birthday parties, graduation parties and other stuff. Even though we are all around the same age, my brother and I are considered separate units because we have both married and have both moved out from the parental units. So their unit of 6 send out Christmas cards and gifts together while my family has to send out 3 different sets for each person for each function because we have technically moved out and are our own families. Also, the kids are very ungrateful. In the past each kid has gotten a gift for these random parties and the Mom is the one to thank us. And when we showed up to this particular cousin's 21st birthday she ignored us and was rude to the people who she did talk to.

So putting aside their tackiness and rude behavior, what is the proper etiquette for all of us to decline this invite? Can my parents, my family and my brother's family go together with one "Congratulations" card even though we don't live together? Again, we're all around the same age as the cousins. Should money be put in it from all of us, even though they have a couple parties a year expecting money while we keep our graduations and birthdays within our immediate family?

Or do each of our family units send a "Congrats" card? And do we each put in money/gift yet again?

OR can we just decline the Facebook event with an apology, no cards, and no money sent?

Telling them to "shove it" sounds justified but I'm hoping for something closer to proper etiquette. Thanks!

Answer
This does all sound a bit much.

I take it your family are all of the same mind about this -- i.e. none of you particularly wants to go to this thing, let alone shell out yet more money; you're all a bit fed up of the constant gatherings, etc?

I see no reason whatsoever for money or other gifts to be given for a graduation for someone over the age of 21, particularly for some qualification gained from an online school. Perhaps I'm doing your cousin an injustice -- is it a proper Bachelor of Sciences degree?

I think it would be fine for just a card to be sent. I suppose she should really get 3 cards from each "unit", unless your parents wrote one on behalf of the whole family. You do need to reply to the invitation to the gathering, but a polite note on the card(s) regretting you will all be unable to be present would be okay.

How much can 14 year-olds be paid and number of hours they can work in Michigan?

Amapanda

Does anyone know the minium wage for 14 year-olds... I know you can be paid more, but what it the least amount. Also, what is the most hours a 14 year-old can work?
I'm trying to get a job at a grocery store, and was wondering how much i get paid and how long i can work. i know pay varies... but a general minimum please

Answer
Here's a short list of 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. Why not become a paid feeder servicing the disabled at nearby nursing, convalescent, assisted living/care centers and hospitals. It involves feeding food to patients who are unable to feed themselves. The starting rate is $8.00 per hour. The only downside is that one has to take precautions to wash one's hands after each feeding. A posting of your services [by a business card or flyer] on a reviewable bulletin board would be enough to generate customers. The paid feeder position is one of the fastest growing occupation at this time.

Good luck!

Even Word can be used to create custom cards. Most of what is required is your imagination.

Got any ideas for a surprise birthday party?

birthday party invitations by email image

aishawarya

Hey!
I am planning to throw a surprise birthday party for my sister (who'll be turning 24) this weekend.
Need help on the theme of the party. (To spice up dinner out with friends and make it more exciting!) Any ideas for the invite message? Would love to hear any tossing of ideas!
Thanks!

Answer
So we canât all be party planners, or so you think ⦠but itâs much easier than you think! Mammie has put together a few successful surprise parties, and itâs super easy! Surprise parties are a great way to make your loved ones feel special. Surprise parties arenât always an expensive ordeal either⦠Hereâs your quick guide on âHOW TO THROW A SUCCESSFUL SURPRISE PARTYâ

1. Find yourself an accomplice. The middle person who is going to find out information, and help plan the event.

2. Plan a date- Make sure the special boy/ girl is available on the date. Easiest way to find out - ask your accomplice to see if the special person is free on a specific day⦠Have the accomplice make plans with the special person . For example: When Mammie threw her best friend a surprise birthday party, Mammie had Mammy (accomplice) make plans with her best friend on the day of the party. That way - best friend would never expect anything other than her âplansâ with Mammy (accomplice). You donât want to plan the event too far in advance because the special person may find it suspicious. Ideally try to plan it 2-3 weeks in advance.

3. Pick a venue- Once your accomplice has secured a date- figure out a venue. Easiest way is to have your accomplice plan something where he/she can either take the special person to. For example: Mammy made plans with best friend to hang out during the day and then head home to get ready for dinner. Surprise! happened when they came home. Another example: Have accomplice make dinner plans with special person- and have everyone at that location at least 45 min before. (Saying 45 min will translate to people getting there just on time)

4. Send out the invitations- Best way to send an invitation is via phone. Phone calls will not leak to the special person. However, sometimes we donât always have their phone numbers. If you donât have everyoneâs phone number- get their email. Best electronic way of sending out invitations are through evites. Go to www.evite.com and you can create your own evite. If you arenât close friends with special personâs friends- find a trust worthy person to be a middle person. For example: When Mammie threw a surprise party for her brother, she had his roommate forward all the evites. This way, you donât have to worry about forgetting someone. ***MAKE SURE YOU EMPHASIZE THE *SURPRISE* ASPECT***

5. Follow up- Follow up with the accomplice. Follow up with your guests. A week before your event- send out a follow up email. A few days before your event- get a final count. Make sure the plans are still in effect with accomplice and special person. Confirm reservations or accommodations for event night.

6. Day of event: Set everything up with extra time. When you are planning something like this - you want to make sure you give yourself an extra 45 min-1.5 hours- just in case. If you having the event at your residence, or at a residence, make sure you are completely ready before the guests arrive. If you are having the party at a restaurant - try to arrive early enough for decorations. Most restaurants will allow large parties to sit when 1/2 the party is present so make sure you get some people there on time.

7. Right before the accomplice and special person arrive: make sure everyone is in their place. Last thing you want is a straggler to be wandering, or making excessive noise that will ruin the surprise. Have the accomplice text, or call you right before they arrive. That way you can make sure you have people in place.

8. SURPRISE!!!!! Try to have someone there to capture the moment.

*Keep in mind* A surprise party is an event to remember. Make sure you have a camera to capture all the moments. Try to decorate the venue so that your special person will have no doubt in their mind that this was a planned event. Get a blank scrapbook, color pens, and have your guests write a little message while they wait for the big surprise.

The above 8 steps should be able to aid you in planning a surprise party. The key is to have enough time to plan, set up and execute your party. A surprise party is such a heart warming experience. Go the extra mile and get people together and share a special night with those you love. Good luck!

How would you let people know a birthday party is in the works, but not make your actual invitation yet?

momof3

I want to send a "basic headsup" party invitation to everyone letting them know there will be a party in November. But, mainly asking them to send any kind of picture they have of my husband to me to prepare for a video. But I dont want to send the ACTUAL invitation yet. How would you do it? What would you say?

Answer
Use email or, if you need to, a letter. Say something like, "Hi. Hope your summer is off to a good start! ... I am doing some planning ahead for a birthday party for <insert name here> in November. I want to do a video montage thing, so if you could send me a photo you have of <name>, I'd really appreciate it. If you mail me a photo, put your name on the back somewhere and I'll make sure to get it back to you. If you can email it to me, that's awesome too of course. I want you to know that I really appreciate your help in putting this together and I think the party will be fun. I need the photos by <insert date here> so that I'll have time to get the video put together (or to work with the videographer to get the video put together). I haven't decided when in November to schedule the party, but you are on my list to invite when I get the date and other details irone out. Again, I greatly appreciate it if you have photos of <name> to share and I'll follow up with an invitation you when I get things planned. Sincerely, <your name>"
You can change up wording of course - this is just the friendly request for photos for the video you are planning and a 'heads up' on the upcoming party. If you do know the date, then you can note it in the email or letter as a 'save the date' and note that you'll be sending out formal invitations ahead of the party.
Have fun!

Any good ideas for a sweet 16 birthday party?

Ashley N

I'm turning 16 on June 27th (yeah, I know it's a long time, but my parents plan everything like, a year before), and I'd like to do something really special since it's a big deal.

The problem is, none of my friends get along.
I'm, I guess you can say 'clique floater', and I have a lot of friends that are from different 'cliques', and so if I have a girls' night out, they'll probably get into fights or something.

I originally wanted to do a big 50s Hollywood themed party, but I'm worried that it might cause awkwardness and none of my friends really dance.

:/

Answer
Here are some ideas you might be able to use:

My idea is for a Capture the Flag party. I'm going to be turning 14 so I thought, I'll try something new. Our local park district has a lot of hiking trails and camp outs areas around it so it'll take place there. The invitations could be a torn up piece of paper with all the usuals on it. Then also send with it a colored bandana (i.e. a orange bandana for the orange team). Then once all the guests get there, with they're bandanas showing what team they are on. (there are 2 teams) Each team has a headquarters where the flag is located. You'll also need lots of water balloons, it should also be hot out. (you might need to explain the game to your guests) Some people stay back an guard the flag while others head out to get the other teams flag is. The point of the game is to capture the other team's flag and bring it back to your team headquarters. You can also capture prisoners from the other team and put them in the jail at the headquarters. If you hit them with a water balloon, then you've caught them. But you have to keep your jail guarded, or all the prisoners can run away. No hitting or tackling is allowed for the player's safety. During the duration of the game you should have water, in case anybody is thirsty. When it's over, everybody comes back from food, and a small party. (i.e. time for cake, presents, music and all that stuff) have fun! and play safe!


For my 14th birthday party, we did a mall madness game idea. For those of you who dont know what mall madness is, it is a board game kind of thing for mainly girls. In the game you have certain things to shop for. But anyway, for the birthday party, (party of 6) we all went out to dinner first. Next, we actually began the party. We split into teams of two (make sure everyone on the team gets along for the most fun). Each team got $28 (i was born on the 28th of February). Each team had to buy 7 items. my name is shannon so each team had to buy an item that started with an s, h, a, etc. The team that spent the closest to $28 won that game. (Keep all receipts so you can return everything. The second part of the party took more planning. My parents took close up pictures of things in the mall with a digital camera. They gave each team copies of the same pictures. We had to plot where those things were on the map and take a picture with someone on our team standing in front of where the close-up picture was taken. **Make sure your mall is ok with people taking pictures** The team that correctly guessed the most pictures one that game. The rest of the night we played the actual game and ate cake and stuff. It was a great party!

My sister is turning 12 and it going to rain on her Camp out birthday party. What should she do inside?

indoor camping sleepover party ideas image

Abbey

She was supposed to have a camp out, but it is going to rain so she needs some party ideas to do inside.

Answer
Indoor camping! You can make smores, tell scary stories, sleep in a real tent in sleeping bags lol. No electricity whatsoever, it'll be like you're really outside. And get like an animal sounds at night CD with like crickets chirping and you can fall asleep listening to that if it's a sleepover.

What are some cool 15th birthday ideas for about 5 girls?

as;lgkj0q2

Birthday's coming up, wanna have a fun party. They will probably all sleep over, but what are some fun things we could do?

Answer
Have your guest bring sleeping bags, flashlights, pajamas, fuzzy slippers, etc.

1. Tie a balloon with string around your guest's ankles. On "go" everyone tries to stomp on everyone else's balloon.

2. Give all guests a toothpick to put in between their teeth. They form a line and try to pass a lifesaver or any candy with a hole in it to everyone with using only your toothpick.

3. Put truth and dare cards in a balloon and have guests pick a balloon pop it and answer the truth or do the dare.

4. Play hide and go seek at night

5. Have a silly string war

6. Put a cookie on your forehead and get it to your mouth by using facial expressions only

7. Have one girl be the pointer. She points at one girl to start off a random story then she points to another girl to continue it, and so on

8. Have a girl leave the room while everyone hides in their sleeping bags. The girl comes in and feels the bodies to guess who it is.

8. Have friends bring over board games to play

9. Have an equal pile of m&ms for every girl. One teen starts off by saying I have never... (I have never gone to Hawaii) If it is true for you, eat an m&m. Whoever has the most left wins!

10. Have a bowl of small multicolored candy (like skittles) Have everyone grab 2 candies. If they have the same color you get to eat them. If not you must keep this in your mouth. Round after round you stuff sweets into your mouth until you have 2 of the same color.

11. Play a classic game of truth or dare

12. Watch a movie.

13. Freeze dance

14. Give each other makeovers, BLINDFOLDED!

15. Play "Do You Like Your neighbor?".

16. Paint each other's finger nails.

17. Play hide and go seek in the dark!

18. Rent lots of movies!

19. Treasure hunt in the dark. (have people bring a flashlight to use)

20. Have a dance off... with bubble wrap. Try to pop the most bubbles.

21. Indoor picnic! Pack a basket of goodies, lay out a blanket in the living room, and enjoy a indoor picnic!

22. Tea party! Pull out your finest doll china (if the kids can be trusted with it) and serve hot cider, finger sandwiches, and fancy cookies. As you play you can even teach your guests proper manners for a formal occasion (ediquete).

23.Camp out! Clear some space in the basement, pitch a tent, pull out your sleeping bags, and let the kids sleep inside. (Teddy Bears optional.)

24. To a huge puzzle all together! Put your smarts together to figure it out!

25. Dance! Teach the kids your favorite dance.

26. Test Your Taste Buds! Have one person make something from ingredients in the kitchen and then other person has to put on a blindfold and eats the food. The person with the blindfold on then makes a guess at what the food is or what ingredients are in it.

27. Drama Bag Game - Fill shopping bags with 5 different items in each bag. A shoe, hat, party favor etc. - but fill each bag with different things. Divide into teams and give each team one bag. Go to different rooms and create a skit which includes all items in the bag. After 15 minutes come back and perform. Variation: Create a song or commercial.

28. Play Maufia.

29. Talk! Late Nights are a good time for friends to just get together and talk too!

30. HAVE FUN!!!!!!

For dinner have a "Mystery Meal". Give each guest a menu, but have the items coded like Dr.Pepper is Physicians spice. It is funny to see your friends so confused! Here are some more ideas:
âNeptune's Tridentâ (fork)
âPucker Upâ (lemonade)
"Shovel" (spoon)
"Finger Puppets" (olives)
"Early Morning Alarm" (chicken)
"Gold nuggets" Clue- Pocahontace (corn)



Slumber Party Menu

Pizza - take out or have more fun making your own with fun toppings.
Chips and dip
Veggie tray with dip
Fruit tray with dip
Make Rice Krispie Treats, Brownies or Cookies at midnight

Lady bug Themed party help!?

birthday party invitations ladybug image

Rachael

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!?!?

shadae

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.

Birthday party ideas for a 16 year old girl?

birthday party invitations ideas for girls image

Q. 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.

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

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.

My daughter is turning one and i have no idea what to do for her 1st birthday party or even where to start.I?

PrettyStun

I want something very special and intimate.
She is my 3rd child and my 1st daughter and last child!
So I want to make this very special as for my 2 boys I had huge birthday parties the bounce house face painting ETC. And that is definitely not the route i want to go with her birthday.
This time I want something like a birthday dinner but where I am in DFW mid cities/Dallas area In Texas. I have bought her outfit and it is very vintage, comes with a huge headband with flowers and pearls. Please advice!

Answer
Celebrating your daughter's 1st birthday is very special! Like you, my youngest is a girl (only one) and she's definitely the princess in the house and love all things pink and purple. So I totally can understand why you want to make this extra special. Have you tried googling some restaurants in the area or go on www.yelp.com to read reviews on certain ones. I know there's a great article on www.babycachet.com on tips for celebrating 1st birthday. And there's a special section for 1st birthday invites http://www.babycachet.com/1st_Birthday_Invitations_s/248.htm - make your daughter's birthday extra special with a unique & beautiful card. Give your guests a hint of what to come :)

Hope some of these ideas help! Good luck and happy birthday to your precious daughter!

what is the proper wording for a birthday party invitation?

birthday party invitations 4th image

georgina

this is a very small birthday party for a 4 year old.
Gifts are optional.

Answer
Come to Janey's 4th birthday Princess party!
Aprill 15th, at our house at 1pm. 12345 Oak street, Mayfield, Minn
Luncheon and cake will be served, dress is casual, tiarras will be supplied to all the princesses!
Gifts are not expected.
I'm not sure I would say that the gifts are optional, I think people would still feel that they are expected.
You could cover by buying your daughter some small, inexpensive presents, and one larger one. She is 4. And when people call to ask about it, you can say whatever you like. For instance, please do not spend a fortune, Janey is 4, she loves books, little dolls, color books, whatever she might like.
