Wording for Birthday Party Invitation?

2girlsmom

We're having a Denim and Diamonds sweet 16 party for my daughter. Along with the standard "You're Invited, Date Time Etc. I'd like to handle the "What to wear" question in the invite. Something like throw on your favorite boots and jeans... or Girls don't forget a little sparkle (or bling might rhyme better.) Help!
I'd like for the kids to be comfortable nothing too formal... jeans, boots if they have them, girls could wear sparkly tops etc.

Answer
The thing is if you say 'wear boots' people will assume it is a 'cowboy' type event, whereas some girls might want to be creative and wear a denim dress and look really feminine and dress up a bit.

Do you have anything in mind for them to do in boots? Is it an outside event? If not, then I think the word 'denim' is enough to instruct people that it is a part- casual party. You could put photo-shop images on to the invite to give people an idea of what you're thinking about. If you're too specific people will feel they will have to go out and buy something, whearas ideally you want people to be creative and I think the title really says it all. You could just put 'Dress code: Casual, plus sparkle!' if you're really keen to spell it out.

Evite party invitations?

Ciao Bella

In the near future I will be having a milestone birthday, and I am going all out for it. I have no doubt it will be the party of the year! I want to send out my invitations by Evite. But my party is like a neon theme, I'm calling it 'Lite Brite Night.' Evite doesn't really have anything for that theme, so I'm considering putting together my own invitation on evite. Do you have any suggestions for side/main images or backgrounds on my invitation? What text should I put so everyone will know that if they are not invited...they are kind of a nobody (not to be bratty or rude, but it's true) I will also have 10 VIPs that will do things that no one else is doing before the party, how should I invite them? should I make a whole separate invitation?

Sorry, a lot of questions...but i would appreciate any help or input

16th birthday party help please?

~redneck~s

for my 16th birthday party im just goin to have a party in my backyard and theres gonna b a fire, and some music. nothin too big and fancy. is there nethin tht would make it better?

Answer
Wild West Birthday Party
Invitations:
Make invitations in the shape of boots, stars or horses.
Verse:
Yeee haw! It's Wild West Birthday party time in the ________ (your last name) corral.
Ranch address: _____________
Branding time: _____________
RSVP by ________ so we'll know to be expectin' ya!
(Have the invitations set at 6pm to 11pmâ¦. so you can play at while the sun still up and dance the night away. Itâs up to you/parents.) Have yourself and your guest dresses in western wearsâ¦ get the real âwild westâ feel!

Decorations:
Set the mood as guests arrive by placing cacti (potted or even inflatable) and river stones along your walkway. Find old pieces of wood and use them to paint signs that say "Saloon" or "Giddy up!" or "Rawhide!" Personalize your party by taking photos of your guests and making Western-style Wanted posters for them.

Lanterns can be used inside and out to create your home on the range. If you have a fireplace, throw on some logs or fill the space with pillar candles in different heights.

For your outdoor dining area, use red or yellow gingham tableware and accessories, to bring a western sunset into your pad.

Get into Stepinâ:
Music: Set up a stereo system and play your favorite country or hire a band

Grab your partner, and get ready to get down. Western parties are the perfect time for line dancing, square dancing or doing your best Texas Two Step. For novice dancers, hire a professional dancer or ask a friend to show everybody how it's done.

Games:
An old-fashioned game of horseshoes is another great way to get everybody involved. You'll need a lawn, two stakes and some horseshoes for this one. Place the stakes in the ground 40 feet apart on a relatively flat surface. There are various kinds of scoring. Here's one easy way to score: A horseshoe that encircles a stake earns you three points, a horseshoe that leans on the stake is two points, and (if no horseshoes reach the stakes) the nearest horseshoe to the stake is awarded one point. To prevent injury, be sure to keep people from entering the game area while you're playing.

Cowboy Roundup:
Youâll need a rope lasso and a length pole. Teach the guests how to throw a lasso in around the length pole.

Relay Races Western Style:
Make up several relay races and let the guests run them with their mop horses. Or buy two stick horses and let the guests trade off with each other. (This one is funny cuzâ the teens actually played!!)

Cowboy Hat Toss:
Cut several stars out of thick cardboard. Place a cowboy hat on the ground about 5-6 feet from the throw line. Have guests line up behind the line and one at a time try and toss their stars into the hat.
Variations: Instead of stars you can tie a bandana around a golf ball.
Instead of one hat place 5 hats in a row and let them try and make it into the #1 hat first, then the #2 hat, etc. ending up with the farthest away #5 hat.

Food/Drinks
Fire up your grill for a backyard BBQ complete with ribs and burgers, and beans on the side. If you're staying indoors, make a big pot of your favorite chili or tacos, and garnish with guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, jalapeÃ±os and sour cream.

For sides, serve mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, warm cornbread muffins and a salad dressed with tangy citrus vinaigrette. Keep crowds happy with chips and salsa and bowls of sweet-and-salty trail mix while the meal is cooking.

Beverages, whatever you like at the party. Have it set in the iced buckets.

Toasted marshmallows or s'mores make a great dessert, whether you cook them over an outdoor fire, your fireplace or a fondue pot flame.

How should I word this birthday tea party invitation?

Jae

I am sending out formal invitations to family for my daughters 1st birthday. I know she won't care much about birthdays quite yet, but I would like to celebrate the blessing that she is and the fact that I am so grateful she has come into my life with people who understand. I would like the invitation to mention in some regards the fact that we are not just celebrating a year, but all the milestones, hardships and triumphs we has been through together in the past year and all the wonderful things that are to come because to me that's a real reason to celebrate. Here are other facts that might be worth mentioning:

the tea party is somewhat vintage, Mad Hatter inspired

we are hoping the guests dress a little extra fancy (or even silly) such as big, Kentucky Derby type hats, long strands of pearls, bow ties and the like

it would be nice if the intro rhymed a bit, silly like Dr. Suess, but it is not necessary. Likely, the front of the card will be an intro to the party (the cute poem explaining things) and the inside would be a list of facts (where, when, etc)

teas and tea alternatives (lemonades, juice, coffee) snacks and cake will be served - actually cupcakes.

the age of the guests would vary from 1-65 though mostly adults would be attending

I know this is a lot to throw in there, and it might not all be necessary to figure out a nice poem for the introduction but I'm having a hard time phrasing this invitation and was hoping for some help. Any advice about the DIY invitation would be great.

Thanks so much!

ps
I am thinking of asking guests to bring something small for a time capsule she can open when she turns 18 but I'm not sure about that yet.
I picked a tea party because my daughters favorite toy is her tea set. She very much enjoys when her parents sit with her for some "tea" and "cake"

I'm not sure that all that stuff is necessary to put in the invitation, I only mentioned it all so everyone could use their own discretion to figure out what was necessary to include.

Thanks for the answers so far!

Answer
Scones and crumpets at 2 we'll have
High tea served for a big event
Jenny will turn one that day
a milestone birthday occasion

The Red queen decrees morning dress
all the stylish women will wear
their biggest hats and pearls and gloves
and play croquet with flamingos

Our gallant men will bring their top hats
the suave will wear a bow tie
a hanky to profer to a lady
a derby to wear at the Derby.

sorry it is late, and Rivers is tired.
You are trying to put a lot of info into one poem, that might be part of the problem. I would concentrate on the style of the party, and the basic reason why. You can wax poetic and talk about all the trials and tribulations of one year of life at the party if you Want.
If you can dig up a picture of a slightly blousy lady in a too big hat, and possibly her male escort that is obviously uncomfortable in his tea party clothes, it would explain at a glance what is wanted. Gee, seeing some of the guests at the wedding of Prince William and Kate would give me ideas!
I would pick a Victorian down in the heels party, or alice in wonderland, or a day at the races, stick with just one.
If you call the party a tea, peole will understand you mean small snacks and desserts. I would not need to explain that one.

I don't want to discourage the time capsule thing, but I would have thought the time of her birth, and having things with her birthdate on it would have been more the thing to do.

13th birthday party ideas? cheap?

my little sister is turning 13 soon and since my family is low income and she really wants a party, I decided to pay for it for her. it needs to be cheap or even free depending on your creativity because I just started at McDonald's and I'm already saving. it doesn't need to be big either. I'm 16 so something easy and cheap would be great. please and thanks I really want to make this special for her! her birthday is September so it could be outside depending on the weather.

Answer
About 2 months before her birthday, follow these steps:
- First thing you have to do is pick a date, time and location (at home is the cheapest choice!). If your house has a backyard hold the party there. It also can be in a park but you may have to pay a fee.
- Start to make a guest list. This is essential to calculate the amount of food and drink, and since you're on a low budget, keep the list small.
- Ask your sister if she wants a theme. I will give generic ideas because themed parties can lead to higher spending.

1 month before:
- Send invitations. Making your own invitations is cheaper than buying them ready. One day I received an invitation for a 15th birthday party, it was a plain white envelope, inside was a card and when I pulled the card a pinch of star confetti slipped out. I found it very cute. It was a cardstock card decorated with little glitter stickers and the informations (date, time...) were handwritten. You can make your own invitations, design an art on your pc or print them from a web page for free:
http://www.greetingsisland.com/invit/invitations.aspx?card=Girl-fun-birthday&id=1366
http://invitationland.com/choose-your-card.html?cardtoload=15&ct=1
http://www.greetingsisland.com/invit/invitations.aspx?card=Shiny-girls-birthday&id=3931
http://www.greetingsisland.com/invit/invitations.aspx?card=Stylish-birthday&id=1363
http://www.greetingsisland.com/invit/invitations.aspx?card=Colorful-birthday-party&id=1331
- Shop for party supplies. I personally think that buying disposable plates, cups and cutlery is an unnecessary expense. Use the plates and cups you have at home. Borrow! Not everything needs to be coordinated, can be mismatching. It's cool! Buy only napkins and other materials for decoration: some balloons and crepe paper to make pompoms. Here is a tutorial: http://www.thebusybudgetingmama.com/2010/08/diy-tissue-pom-poms.html

2 to 3 weeks before:
- Plan a few games. Play games that don't need many materials: charades, musical chairs, telephone. Make a treasure hunt with items you have at home. If you sister has board games, play them as well.
- Decide on the menu. I have noticed that limiting the party to determined treat or food comes out cheaper, for example, ice cream party, bbq party, pizza party...I suggest pizza because there's always a topping to please the pickiest eater, plus pizza is filling so you don't need tons of them. Purchase prepared pizza dough in a discount grocery and just throw sauce, cheese and any topping you want the just heat. For drinks, buy in bulk large bottles of soda, they're cheaper than individual cans.

1 week ahead:
- Call any guest who have not responded.

2 to 3 days ahead:
- Go shopping any food you will serve. Bake any treat that can be made ahead.
- If you will give favors, assemble them. Now, think "discount stores"...make cellophane bags and buy items such as stickers, mini soaps, glitter pens, little tubes of facial scrub. Put them in the bags and tie with ribbon. It's not expensive if you buy in the right places. But if it's too much, you can skip the favors. Instead buy prizes for the winners of the games.

The day before:
- Clean the party area.
- Bake a cake. Yes, baking a cake is way cheaper than ordering one. Bake a simple sheet cake, frost and top with colorful sprinkles. You can use boxed cake mix to make your life easier.

4 hours before:
- Set up the party area. Arrange chairs, fill and hang the balloons and pompoms, put candles on the cake, stack the plates...

1 hour before:
- Set up food - my suggestion is pizza, but can be whatever you want - and drinks.
- Turn on music and wait the guests!

When shopping think Costco, Family Dollar, Sam's club, BJ'S...Stretch every single dollar, honey. It seems difficult but it's not. I'm a party planner and I assure, takes work, but it's not difficult and you don't need to spend a lot of money. Hope this helps. Get creative and have fun!

Invitation advice for a 5 year old's roller skating party?

darnellcla

We are heving our 5 year old's 6th birthday party at a skating rink and we want to put something in the invitations about the parent staying due to the risk of injury. We don't want it to sound all legal and cold, but we want the parents to stay. Help me with the wording please.

Answer
A birthday party at the rink is a great way to let your child, friends and relatives celebrate the occasion with games, food and healthy fun. An afternoon at the rink is no more dangerous than a visit to the playground. The risks are similar in any situation where kids get a little bit of freedom and have anything to ride, throw, climb or in this case...skate on. Parents should be there to help enforce safety just as they would in a park or playground.

To keep your tone light but firm, try something like "Parental supervision required... parents on skates optional."

Or "We will need a hand (and maybe your arms, too) to help the little skaters."

If any parents question this policy, remind them that the kids will need help getting skates and equipment on and off â and there will be a lot of Kodak moments for those who are skating for the first time.

I teach kids aged 3 and up to skate. When in doubt tell kids to keep the big parts (head and chest) over the little parts (skates or inlines) and march instead of sliding or dragging the wheels. Most are mobile after about 20 minutes of supervision, if the parents are encouraging and don't scare the kids.

Feel free to email questions.

12 year old Birthday Party?

Jennifer

I am turning 12 years old in April. I like shopping, being athletic and being with friends. I wan to have about 10 people at my party what can i do?

Answer
This answer will be long , but you wont regret reading the ideas ! (im assuming its 10 plus you . btw if your gonna have 10 people come then if youre gonna go with my idea you should get 2 of those ten people to help you out so you have 8 people doing the games and stuff ! it sounds confusing right now but youll get it. im 13 btw)
Me , Italia , and Laurel are planning a party , and are inviting 8 people (including us) and we are sending the invitations in boxes cause 4 peolpe will have a red bandana (red team) and 4 people will have a blue bandana (blue team). these teams will compete in the following games:
-Fruit ninja ! Were gonna get styrofoam swords and stick toothpicks in them and throw balloons up and they will try and pop them with the toothpicks . we dont know if it willl work though
-Obstacle course ! we just set up random stuff and make them run through it , duh !
-toilet paper modeling ! each team chooses one model and has 5 minutes and 2 rolls of toilet paper each and they make an outfit for their model .
-scavenger hunt ! were gonna tape balloons of their team color (they MUST ONLY POP THE BALLOON OF THEIR TEAM COLOR ! if they pop the other teams , they get disqualified) to random places and it has a hint in it. so they will be running random places looking for the next hint. and the balloons are labeled 1, 2, 3 etc. and they must get the balloons in chronological order. the last hint will be in a treasure chest at the bottom of my pool and they all have to dive in and get it :) and theres only one treasure so first one to it wins !

we are providing prizes for each winner (like lotions , perfumes , girl stuff xD)
and 5-7 of those people are spending the night c:

Sorry its REALLY long but its gonna be a LEGIT party and i dont care if you steal ideas !

Any birthday party ideas?

lola d

i live in canada and i'm a teenager and so i wanna do something fun but i can't use my house. sooo any ideas on what i can do?

Thank You

Answer
It would help to know how old you are. I'm just gonna guess that youre like in jr. high. I would say have like one of your closest friends have it at thier house, but if that doesnt work either, Then I wouold go to the park or like a camp out area. If you go to the park, just get like party streamers and things at the dollar store and just go crazy. Decorate with like anythign colorful or whatever. Hang up all your colorful t-shirts if you ahve to. You can paint nails, watch chick-flicks, talk, play board games, kareoke, dance(and sing) with music, dress up, like tell everyone to brign all their crazy colorful clothes, or big dresses, anything crazy and dresss up. Anyway, hope this helps.

Indian 50:th birthday party?

Meifa

Hi all,
Me/husband got invitation to attend my husband's employee's mothers birthday party. The person in question is Indian.

Where I live (in Europe), we don't invite colleagues to family celebrations, so this came as a surprise. It would be pretty cool and very interesting to be on a Indian party, but at same time, we want to be careful about unwritten cultural rules.

Is this is courtesy gesture of the Indian culture and we are supposed to refuse the invitation?
If we go, how are we supposed to behave as "the son's boss"?
Also, what kind of gift/value are we supposed to give? 50:th birthday must be pretty big thing.

Any advices, suggestions, tips welcome!
(The country in question is South Africa)

Answer
South African indians are quite laid back and dont worry about any "rules" just behave as you would at any other birthday party , greet , chat , make yourself comfortable ,
When it comes to Food , Im sure that not everything will be hot and spicy , when we invite someone , we make sure we cater for their need , in an Indian function , everything can go wrong , but the food must be perfect and everyone must be catered for , so i dont think food will be a problem. With regards to a gift , A scarf as mentioned is a good idea or even just a gift voucher will be fine.
The most important thing is to just enjoy and have fun.

What are some good theme ideas for a surprise 50th birthday party?

shellnwill

I'm throwing a surprise party for my mom who will be 50. Any good ideas you've heard of for themes for a 50th birthday party.

Answer
Make it a destination party. Love to ski, then head to the mountains.

Take a cruise. "Destination parties" are popular and travel agencies compete to find the cheapest packages.

Enjoy music and theatre, go to New York and take in the symphony or Broadway.

Love the islands, go to Maui.

If you need to stay closer to home and cut the costs think about having a "This Is Your Life Party" at the recipient's favorite restaurant. Decorate to the nines, have a slideshow from birth to the present, have people give speeches and roast the birthday person.

An Over the Hill Party equipped with black decor and foods, along with all the grim-reaper accents. Everyone comes dressed in black. The guest of honor may be picked up in a hearse. You could do a more modern version of the Over the Hill Party and have a sit-down dinner affair equipped with elegant black and silver serving pieces. Hang classy black lantern lights and serve a elegant fondant cake with black accents.

How about a Golden 50th soiree. Send out formal invitations, fancy set table, lots of gold table decor (candlesticks, silverware, napkin rings, etc.) Make sure the cake is an extravaganza. Perhaps a white cake with gold icing or a dusting of gold decorating glitter.

Wine and cheese tasting party with lots of fancy crackers. Decorations should be classic with linen tablecloths, crystal, china, silver, etc.

A 70's costume party which would have an emphasis on the birthday person's hay-day. Or opt for another era like the roaring 20's, fabulous 50's, etc.

A Murder Mystery party where all of the guests come in costume to coincide with the theme, but you hire actors to act out the murder story. They will draw in your guests during the evening into the murder and help them to become a part of solving the crime.

Well, that's all I have for now. Have a wonderful time planning the party. I know the planning stage can be quite a bit of fun and doing things around the birthday recipient without he or she knowing, only adds to the drama and intrigue, and ultimately the got-cha! Have a great time!

16th birthday party ideas?

Meghan

Im turning 16 next month I need ideas! I dont want to have a typical boring party like I usually do where I have 4 or 5 friends over and we watch movies I want something fun that will keep people interested

Answer
My 16th birthday party is in November, & it's my golden birthday. So, I'm renting a hall. One of my mom's good friends is a DJ, so he'll be there playing music. There's also going to be music videos of the songs that are being played. I have a lot of friends, so there will be around 60-70 people there. I'll be wearing a poofy, long, pink dress. I'm also putting on the invitations to have girls wear dresses, & boys wear nice clothing. Later in the night, I'll have a slide show of me from when I was born, until now. I'll also have a lighting ceremony. A lighting ceremony is where I'll have 16 of the most important people in my life to come up and light a candle on my cake. The party will be around 5 hours long. After the party, I will just have some of my closest friends sleepover.

Disney's camp rock themed birthday party?

Disney's camp rock themed birthday party?
my little cousin is turning 10 and we need some ideas on what to do for her party her theme is disney's camp rock we don't know what we should do for
the cake
goody bags
piniata
games
etc.
also her party is an overnight so i need quite a few activities.
thanks

Answer
Here are some idea's that I have;

-Order a cake in the shape of a music note, or order a sheet cake and have music notes drawn on it and have it say 'Welcome To Camp Rock!' on the cake.
-Buy a pinata in the shape of a music note or musical instrument.
-Why not throw a little music competition? Give each of the kids lyrics to a song to sing and then have 1 or 2 adults "judge" the performances. You can give out gold plastic medals for participation.
-For the goodie bags, why not put in musical-themed stationary and pencils? Oh! How about you make a little program booklet to put into each goodie bag of a list of the events/activities that will go on during the party?
-You could have a movie marathon of 2-3 musical-themed movies [Grease, High School Musical, etc..] and have "Movie Marathon" listed in the program booklet followed by the movies that are going to be watched.
-I agree with the trivia idea. You can ask questions about the Jonas Brothers, other bands/singers, musical instruments and stuff that is music-themed [like the movies or anything you can think of].

Well, those are just some idea's that I thought of.

Hope I Helped!

I hope your cousin has an awesome 10th birthday! ;]

-Tiffany

------

P.S. Also, you could give out musical-themed prizes like High School Musical merchandise or little knick-knacks that say things like 'I Heart Singing' or 'I Heart Music' on them. You could also buy plain t-shirts and design a cool iron-on logo [a Camp Rock logo, or maybe a group picture of the kids] and put it on the shirt. You could have each individual child's name printed on the back of the shirt. You could give the shirts out before everyone leaves. You could do this with pillow cases or anything, as well. Or, maybe you could have a crafts activity and have each of the kids design their own musical-themed photo frame, pillow case or whatever.

P.P.S. Take some candid pictures of the kids throughout the party. You can buy little photo albums and give the albums with the pictures in them out as a gift before everyone goes home. It'd be a great way for the kids to always remember the party. You may need a digital camera and printer for this though, or a fast photo place near by like K-Mart or Wal-Mart or whatever you have.

P.P.P.S. I agree with watching the movie at the party if it airs prior to the time of the party. Record it on VHS or DVD [or have someone do it for you] if it airs before you have the party, so the kids can rewatch it.

P.P.P.P.S. Remember to just have fun. You don't need to do a lot of things just to have a good time. I'm sure the kids would be just as happy sitting in front of the TV, pigging out on pizza and junk food, singing along to songs from the movie. ;]

Camping themed toy for my 12-month old nephew?

Lacey v

My nephew will be turning one year at the end of June and I'm not sure what to get him for a gift. My brother just told me that they're having a camping themed party for him and I would love to get him a gift to go along with the theme. Any ideas? If there are no good gifts out there for a one year old with a camping theme, any other ideas for a gift? My parents got him a chair with his name on it, my brother said they wanted that, but I want to get him a toy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Answer
the fisher price little people have a really great set with a camper and a campfire and two tents and sleeping bags. It is girls, but its still fun. The little people can go into the sleeping bags. Its a fun way to play at home before teh campout. Also, there is a great berenstein bears carftoon dvd that has the bernstain bears go camping on it. We love it. I put that cartoon and get out the camping toy as a treat and we have a lot of fun w/ it.

17th birthday party ideas?

viccv

For my 16th birthday I had a house party and a bunch of people I didn't know showed up and everyone was really drunk. It was a fun time but needless to say I can't have a house party again.
What can I do for my 17th which is similar?
I don't wanna do something like bowling or the spa cuz first of all it's not exciting, second of all it costs $$$

Answer
Bonfire Party - For a budget-friendly bash, consider a bonfire celebration. Limit the menu to foods that can be cooked on a stick, and transform the garage into a dancing area.

Fear Factor Party - Set up an obstacle course, and design your own food challenges with platters of chunky, meat-flavored baby food, slices of head cheese and souse, and heaping bowls of delicacies from your local ethnic grocery store.
Spa Party - Stock up on manicure, pedicure, and facial supplies, and indulge your teen and her friends with a little pampering. For an extra-special treat, hire a professional to do an in-home spa party and treat the guests to makeovers.

Have a karaoke competition
Lip sync to music with close friends
Make a group music video and post it on YouTube
Throw mud at each other (I don't suggest this one!) and then take funny photos (Author's note - maybe a whipped cream fight?). File this one under 'outdoor activities.'
Have a Silly String fight. Silly String comes in spray canisters. Look at a toy store or party shop.
Hire a DJ, rent a party tent or a hall for dancing. Add mylar balloons or balloon bouquets.
For a laugh, rent a bounce house or bouncy castle (Try an online search for Party Rentals)
Set up a back yard carnival with homemade games and party favor prizes
In warmer weather, go camping, have a BBQ and a water balloon fight!
Small budget? Rent a good movie, bake and eat what you make!
Supply disposable cameras! "When you develop the pictures after the party, you are sure to get a good laugh," says one teen. As an alternative, guests could bring their digital cameras.
Spray each others hair with colored hair sprays. Make crazy hairstyles with colored hair gel.
Try some face painting, then go shopping as a group.

Pool Party
Fun swimming pool party theme ideas - complete party planning ideas with decoration, invitations, games, party favor and activity ideas for teen pool parties.
Pool party ideas

Mystery Dinner
Crazy and fun! The teens are served a crazy dinner - and the fun is they don't know exactly what they are ordering until it comes out of the kitchen. By the third round they have started to figure out the clues and finally get something to eat.

Restaurant
Take them to a nice restaurant or for more fun a Japanese steakhouse where they cook the food in front of you, or reserve a private room in the restaurant.

Music Videos
Borrow several video cameras and let the kids make crazy videos of themselves dancing, singing to karaoke or just being themselves! Edit and then make a DVD for each party guest.

Chocolate fountain Simple idea, but teenagers love it! Set out long toothpicks and bowls of strawberries, marshmallows, fruit, graham crackers, Twinkies (our favorite!), rice krispie treats or anything that can be dipped in chocolate (which is pretty much everything!) This is fun, festive and a real treat! Just add music and dancing.

Birthday party ideas? Please!?

So I need help planning a birthday party for a thirteen year old girl. We live in London, Kentucky. And we need ideas of where we could have the party, What to do about a theme, sleepover ideas. Anything could help. Also activities of what they could do. This will be for her friends that are girls and boys and i'm sure she could be easily embarrassed on almost anything we decide on. And also she wants to have a few girls stay the night after the party so any ideas of what could keep them busy? So I wont have to continuously clean messes. Thanks!

Answer
Personally, I think sleepovers are only for girls or only for boys, not both. I find a treasure hunt/scavenger hunt a great option that appeals to girls and boys. It's fun, easy to organize, you don't spend an absurd amount of money and can use items that you already have at home. Here are some ideas:

After, serve a few snacks or take the kids for ice cream or pizza.

Decoration help!!!?

hopo l

hey everybody i have to go to this camp and i have to decorate my room. i am going to be staying there for three nights. me and my roomate have no idea what to do. any ideas??

Answer
What kind of decorating? Do you have to supply everything, or do they? What about paint?

Since this is going to be a quick type of project, how about a retro theme:

If not retro, this site has some interesting ideas that might work. It is for themed parties, but it might work for what you need too.

13th birthday party ideas... Please help!?

Landon

So anyways I am having a birthday this November and was wondering what ideas there are. I want to have a good party. At first I wanted to do a camping trip and have a scavenger hunt but then i realized (because we live in Massachusetts) that it would be too cold. then I thought of a war reenactment. Please help!

Answer
Do you love themed outdoor parties? This is great. You will surely love a Tropical theme party in the middle of cold weather. With those tiki torches that you will have as a decoration and lighting scheme in the venue, you will surely have a breeze of summer. I strongly suggest this theme if the event will be held during cold season, just like yours. Hope this will help. Good luck! ^_^

50th Birthday Party Ideas?

hkaybugs

Okay so my dads 50th birthday is in a few weeks and we are looking for some kind of cool "theme" to do the party in. he is kind of a redneck guy...like he loves larry the cable guy and the dukes of hazzard and that kind of stuff...I am looking for some kind of funny saying that people put on signs and invitations. Like for a 40th anniversary someone might do the "Lordy Lordy they made it 40" or whatever
we are just looking for something kinda funny like that
or maybe just some general ideas
it is a suprise birthday party if that means anything
any ideas?? Thanks!!!

Answer
Help John GIT-R-DONE at his 50th birthday party!- make it all Larry the Cable Guy theme- have guests dress in plaid or camouflage. play his comedy tapes on the TV, have plaid or camo decorations, maybe some poster animal targets on the walls, have a contest for best dressed Larry impersonation- give a DVD of Larry to the winner (make sure you mark best dressed Larry gets special prize on invites), maybe have a hat full of one liners from the comedy acts that your guests choose one and have to say it to your dad during the night, you can give away little items like bumper stickers or something that say Git-R-Done on them as party favors. or buy a Larry CD and make copies to give as party favors so when guests leave they can listen to it in their car as they drive away remembering the fun party!
get a photo cake made of Larry- maybe photoshop a picture of your dad in there with him- find good images online, print it out and take it to the grocery store and they make a picture cake with it.
for his present buy him tickets to see Larry when he comes to your town to go along with the theme! http://www.larrythecableguy.com/appear/
make a picture board of your dads pics throughout the years from birth to current (funnier the better!)- we did that for my moms 60th and she had such a good time showing off her pics to everyone!

Birthday Invitations?

Activities For A Luau Birthday Party?

Im having a luau birthday party and all I have for actities is Limbo....help

Answer
Issue invitations: When thinking of a birthday party celebration, the first thing that comes to our mind is invitations. Since the theme has already been decided on, sending out the party invitations in a truly Hawaiian style would be a good idea. You can send out a beach bottle invitation. Start by finding some clear water bottles and fill with a little sand and sea shells to give it a beach effect. Take a piece of bright blue color paper and write the party details on it. Then roll up the paper and place it inside the bottle. This will truly impress your guests.

Hang the decorations: To give your party a special Hawaiian effect, you can convert your party area into a tropical paradise. For a beach effect you can decorate with candles, luau lights, bamboo torches, and coconuts. If indoors, you can hang green and blue streamers from the ceiling to create a lagoon effect. You can also decorate the walls with palm trees that have been painted on poster board or cardboard and cut out. For the walls indoors, you can hang posters of tropical islands or travel posters. Drape fishnets over a fence outdoors or over the luau birthday party table to create a tropical look. You can also hang tiny shell necklaces around the yard or party room.

Find Hawaiian Party games: Games and activity play an important role in making your party a memorable event. For Hawaiian Luau birthday party you can go for

Dress Up Relay Game: For this game you will need to prepare 2 bowls filled with paper notes - one that has the names of the guests and other with the activity you want them to perform. Some examples of activities are âwiggle like a fishâ or âroar like a lionâ. The birthday child then gets to pick one name and one activity and then announce what the guest needs to perform. The best performer turns out to be a winner.
Imitate An Animal Game: For this game you will have to prepare male and female outfits ahead of time. Male outfits could include a shirt, hat, pants, shoes and a tie and the women outfits could include a blouse, skirt, hat, shoes, necklace and a purse. Then divide your guests into 2 teams and make them stand on different sides of the yard or party area. When the game starts, the first guest for each team needs to put on an outfit and run to the opposite side of the yard or party area. Then they have to take off their outfit and hand it to the next team member. The team which finishes first is the winner.

Create the party food: Good delicious Hawaiian food is a big hit at any luau birthday party. Snacks or appetizers of grilled satays or kebabs, fruit and veggies would work well. Another very festive idea is to serve Ice Cream at an Ice Cream bar. Preparing a luau cake is very easy and a great way to impress your guests. It starts with a rectangular cake of an flavor. Then cover half of the cake with white frosting tinted blue, so that it looks like a sea. Then cover the other half of the cake with white frosting and sprinkle a little brown sugar on top of it so that it looks like sand. Next, set Hawaiian toy dancers on the sand and have a tiny shark coming up out of the ocean.

13 year old boy birthday party ideas?

Army

Hey,
my son is having a birthday in a few weeks and we can't think of anywhere to go or anything to do. His birthday is in the winter so that automatically cancels out water theme parks and stuff.
plz help

thanks in advance - choosing best answer
We live in sydney in NSW, so that might give you ideas.

and no, not doing that monkeyface

Answer
Glow in the Dark Party
Make teen party invitations out of black construction paper and glow-in-the-dark paint, and then mail them to your guests. On the day of the party, decorate with green and purple tablecovers, and plates and cups covered with glow-in-the-dark stickers. Outfit your guests with glow necklaces or glow sticks as they arrive, and then serve them neon-green drinks with glow straws. Play Flashlight Tag and Hot Potato with a glow-in-the-dark ball, make glow bracelets with glow-in-the-dark beads, paint nails with glow paint, draw designs on black paper with milky pens, and/or paint black T-shirts with glow-in-the-dark paint. For older children, consider renting or buying a few black lights, turning on some good music, and having a glow dance party.

=======================

A Video Game Party
Setting up one or several big screen televisions and game systems (friends can bring their systems and games to share) can create a massive multi-player game room. Playoff challenges and prizes for highest score, etc. will add to the fun. A white board could be used for keeping track of scoring.

A Fun Group Camp-Out Event
For this event, everyone can gather up their dusty tents and camping gear and head to the hills (or backyard, or church grounds) for some old-fashioned camping. This is especially fun if a campfire is possible. Toasting hotdogs and marshmallows, singing some campfire songs, and telling tales by firelight makes for a great time. If an overnighter is not possible, a âhalf-a-campoutâ is fun with tents and all, but ending at 10 p.m. or so.

Laser Tag

Blacklight or Laser Light Bowling
Many bowling alleys offer special blacklight bowling (sometimes called âGlow Bowlâ or âPajama Bowlâ) during the day or in the evening. Usually the normal lights are darkened and blacklights light up the pins, white clothing, and special paint on the walls. Reservations and arrangements need to be made in advance. Often, as well, bowling alleys will have a party room or snack bar where refreshments may be served.

18th Birthday Party Ideas!!!!!!?

Trenton Mi

Hi!!! Im trying to plan a completely awesome 18th birthday party this year for one last big party before all my friends leave for college. I dont quite know how, but through the years i have gotten a bit of a rep for throwing good parties so people are expecting something really good...the only issue is im not really sure what id like to do. I just dont want any repeats of previous years....ive had movie/oscar theme, halloween, a beach party, bowling, day at the spa/broadmore, dirt biking, camping, sky diving/water park, giant scavenger hunt and the rest were all kinda kiddy. Both girls and boys (about 15 to 30 teens around my age) will be coming this year so it has to be flexible. Ive been thinking about a paintball/lazer tag party this year but i wanted to see what else was out there.
anybody every do anything really amazing or have any great ideas???
thanks!
Trenton M. McG. =D

Answer
Hi! This is my favorite of all theme actually. How about trying a rock theme one?

Guitars, stars, musical notes, mixtapes are the main thingys. Having a small convert stage would be fun!

Photobooth will also be a good one so that your visitors can have a souvenir from your party at the same time, a remembrance.

I suggest you should have a dress code too. Everyone's gonna wear a chucks? or somewhat similar to it. This is a suggestive one for girls, girls should wear skirt and a chucks. Everyone's gonna wear a rock`in statement shirt, or just a plain statement shirt?

Hmmm.. I think you'd be having a hard time customizeng your food. Well anyway, it's your choice. I'll be sharing you a pictures of cool stuffs I've been gathered.

How I wish I'd help. That's actually my frustration, having a rock-theme party.
Advance Happy Birthday Trenton. :]

Birthday Party?

elfin418gi

He's turning 7.
What do little kids do at birthday parties, besides eat cake and ice cream? Should I do party bags? Streamers?

thanks

Answer
I love kids' bday parties, and I am known around our small town for my themed parties. I have won twice on www.birthdaypartyideas.com (pirates of the caribbean 7 yr old June 2004 I think? & spongebob 6 yr old 2005). However, I think I am not the norm, as many moms don't have the time or creative energy to do all that work. That website is a great idea for decorating, games, food, etc.

My point is, moms have said to me, "oh, my parties are so boring compared to yours". Not so according to my kids. Kids love parties period. My kids have never said my parties were better than "so and so's". But kids do need to keep busy. You don't have to do the themed thing, but kids do get a kick out of it. But my basic suggestions are (from experience):

1. Keep it 2 hours - 2 1/2 max.

2. Forget feeding them a meal. I find the best time is 1 to 3, or 2 to 4. I tried the lunch thing, and 90% of them did not eat as they were too excited. I threw the meals away.

3. DO have munchies tho' and juice boxes.

4. Plan for around 4 games, and depending on the child, a craft. I usually did craft from 1 to 1:30 -- allowing latercomers to arrive and do their craft; games from 1:30 to 2:15; cake & singing and gift opening and free-play from 2:15 to 3. It usually worked out fine.

5. If you're having it at your home, keep the party in one room. Bedrooms were off limits. I've heard of parties where a child's favourite toy is broken 'cuz of the barrage of kids in their room. I tell those that want to crash my son's room, "you can come another day for a play day". If it's an outdoor party, the kids stay outdoors unless they need to use the washroom.

6. I use the rule with my kids, "you can invite the same # of kids as the age you're turning", so if your child is turning 7, he/she can invite 7 friends.

7. Goody bags are a must -- and kids really look forward to them, so if you have extra money to spend, do it here. Dollar stores are great for this.

8. ALWAYS call moms/dads who do not RSVP your invite. Don't assume their child's coming if you haven't heard anything. I had a mom last year who didn't call me, because the invitation did not make it to her hands. Somewhere between school and home, her son lost it. So it's always good to follow up. Oh, and I typically send invites out 2 weeks before the party.

9. I like playing music at the party -- just to break the silence! My music was theme-related, so for Spongebob, I found Spongebob music off the web, etc.

Don't get stressed over it; plan early; and have fun!!

3 year old birthday party?

Proud Momm

My daughter will be turning 3 and we've began to think about birthday preparations. Were just planning a small get together at home with only close family, but she is having the hardest time deciding on what to do her party in lol. She loves the Little Einstein's, Olivia The Pig, The Backyardigans, The Wonder Pets, Dora and Diego, and so on....she is driving me nuts wanting all of them and of course she doesn't get that it can be just one lol. How did you decide on a birthday party theme once your toddler got old enough to tell you what her or she wanted?

Its just going to be cake, ice cream, and gifts from family..nothing major because were taking her to an indoor water park as her gift from us. I know that a party theme isn't a "big deal", but still, I want her to feel involved.
We've been looking at decorations and characters online..maybe it would help if I took her to an actual party store. Thanks.

What to do for my Birthday party?

Bridget

okay so in just less than a month (in June) i will be turning 15 years old and i want to throw a party for me and my friends. the age range is from maybe 14 (but i dont think so)more like 15 to 16 or 17 and it's both guys and girls.
but what i need is ideas for what to do.
i need:
somewhere we could go
things to do
stuff to eat
movies
music
and any other fun stuff we can do to have an awesome time

and remember these are teenagers, so no immature activites and no too mature activities. also it's both guys and girls so no spa nites or sleep overs or girly things... we've already got that part planned.
try to help keep these things cheep and if u could include costs it would be great.
thanx for any help :)

Answer
My friend had a picnic in the park for her birthday. It's not too expensive and uber fun!

Place: Any park will do. If possible, try to get one with a playground and playing equipment. Your friends will have a lot of fun climbing all over stuff if they can, no matter what the ages are! Before you just show up for the party, be sure that you don;t need to rent it out or anything. The last thing you want on your special day is another party there too.

What to do: Sky's the limit. Look up some fun outdoor games online, such as different ways to play tag or hide and seek. Or, just bring a basket ball along. If the park you choose has a water spigot available (most do. usually found near the water fountains) slip-n'-slides make for a great summer party. Another idea is to tell your friends to bring water guns and ballons for a water war. Just make sure your invitations mention that they will get wet (BTW, do NOT wear white if you do this).

What to eat: Again, sky's the limit. What my friend did was request that everyone bring something to the party, like chips, sandwiches, soda, ect. Then her family supplied burgers and, of course, cake. However, since it's a summer party, be sure to bring the ice cream in a cooler is it doesn't melt. Also, check to make sure that the park you choose has a bricket you can use to cook any meat you want to eat.

Music: A battery operated boom box is a great way to crank up the tunes! Just make sure that it doesn't get wet. If you have a friend with a good taste in CDs, ask him/her to bring a few CDs. Also, you can;t go wrong with just going with the radio setting!

Movies: If the park you choose is close to your house, you can invite everyone over after your done at the park for the movie. I probably don;t have the same taste as you or your friends, so I can't recommended anything. However, ask your friends what kind of stuff they like to watch. For example, a lot of my friends like to watch anime, so an anime movie would be a good idea.

15 is a very special year, so I hope your birthday is a blast! Hope this helps! Happy (early) Birthday!!!

(estimated cost:
burgers (or other entre)+ cake and ice cream+ park rental+ party favors= I'd say about $200? That's just a guess though)

Camping teen party !?

Q. Camping teen party !
Question Details: Hey im 15 and im having a party !! Ive got a big tent and we are going to sleep in the garden so as you can guess its a camping themed party !!

We will be outside nearly all the time and we will go inside to play some cool games ! Can you give me some REALLY fun sporty ideas and just silly games for outiside !! Like basketball and stuff ........ some like detective games nd stuff !! haha

I also want some good inside games like spin the bottle and stuff !! I dont want the typical eat pizza , give makeovers beacuse there are going to be about 5 girls and 5 boys !!

And also what should wear because its fancy dress ? I need a cool outfit that ties into camping !!

Oh and also what could I wear for a beach themed party ?

Oh and also how should I decorate the back garden ??

Answer
Since its the middle of winter, I'm hoping you are postponing your camping party until the weather heats up a bit and the snow and ice have sufficiently melted! A "campout" is really no different than slumber parties we used to have as kids during the summer in the back yard, except we didn't use a tent! Here are some ideas:

1. Set your tent up for sleeping only (I'm going to assume that you won't be having a communal sleep over with the boys and the girls). If you ARE planning on having a coed sleepover, get your parents and your guests parents approval ahead of time. Make appropriate sleeping arrangements for the guys as well.
2. Contact a rental company for a basketball hoop, bouncy houses, etc. for your yard. You can also set up croquette, a scavenger hunt, volleyball, and even lawn bowling.
3. Dance anyone? Rent a dance floor and d.j. for evening festivities
4. Indoor games might include a game like "Clue" wherein everyone dresses up and participates in the drama. You might also contact your local college theatre troop to see if they can help you with this.
5. Decorations should be simple and appropriate for your theme. If you have a "dressup" party, then you might want to keep things elegant using little white lights, candles, flowers, balloons.
6. Food can be pretty much what you like, although you said you don't want pizza etc. Other ideas might include: chicken tenders on skewers with peanut butter sauce, veges with ranch dressing, pasta with fresh tomatos, artichoke hearts and shaved parmesan, "grown up cheeseburgers" using ciabatta rolls, artisan cheeses, fresh ground sirloin etc., homemade "fries", using sweet potatos and regular russets, sprinkle with minced garlic and parmesan. Add some fanciful sorbets in martini glasses and your favorite desserts.
7. Create a "signature" drink for your party, perhaps a "mock' cocktail? You can serve up alcohol free margaritas,
champagne punch" , "cosmopolitans", "razzatini's" and "mojitos" that will add some class to your event.
8. Don't forget creating "gift bags" for your guests. Most young folks like gift cards to their favorite restaurants, coffee haunts, and game stores. Candy, phone cards etc. are good additions.

Anyway....check your budget and get your parent's approval before you jump into anything!

50th Birthday Celebration.....ideas anyone???

MerryJayne

Ok I shall give the short & sweet of my detailed tale. 2 yrs ago my sis was hospitalized & nearly died. Frankly she's met w the Grim Reaper a few times in the past 2 yrs. She suffered several different ailments. Her kidneys failed & she endured dialysis. A blood clot broke free from her leg and settled in her lung. An infection in her blood put her thru daily transfusions in the hospital & once home another infection took her to the drs office daily for iv antibiotics. She went from a hefty 200 some odd lbs to the wispiest of waifs at a fragile 89. She's now a healthy 145. She also suffers from ADD, OCD & other odd phobias. She fears germs & refuses to venture into SF for fear of aids. She keeps to herself & doesn't have any friends to speak of. She's grateful to be here for her 50th & mentioned she could appreciate a "big blow out" celebration. What can I do to make this night memorable for her? No people for a big party. I can get about 10 family members to join us We're in Daly City

Answer
Because of her phobias, I'd limit her party to either her home or a home of one of your family members. Here's what I did for my mom's 60th surprise party...

Called up and sent custom invitations to EVERYONE she knew (even found old high-school friends) and invited them to a Broadway themed buffet style dinner party.

I hired this great pianist who knew every show tune ever written (I'm including a link to his Yelp review and contact information below) and told everyone to pick a song that reminded them of my mom and write a brief explanation why OR pick a showtune and write their own lyrics as a tribute (most were really raunchy roasts :-) to my mom.

We then had the pianist accompany everyone with their songs karaoke-style!

It was fabulous and my mom was really touched by everyone's effort. Instructing guests to do something special like this makes for a cohesive theme and really helps alleviate the fact that there's less people there than your sister might want.

We also made a 'guest book' available for people to write notes to her and later filled it with the lyrics people wrote / the songs they chose.

It worked for us--might work for you too!

Best of luck and your sister is in my thoughts :-)

any ideas/activities for a camping out party for teenage girls?

Q. where camping out in tents on my feild (which is 2 acres) ... any ideas. im thirteen...now :D... and so are pretty much all the girls coming.... thanks people

x0x0x0 jk <3

Answer
Of course there has to be music,so dont forget the radio.Also the camera to take goofy pictures.You can play some board games but honestly you all will probably spend most of your time talking about who you like and dont like.I think truth or dare was always a cool game.If your folks will let you have a fire then make some smores,everyone loves them.Once its nice and dark you all can take turns telling ghost stories(dont forget the flashlight incase you get scared)Hope you have fun and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Teen Birthday Party Ideas?

Brooke

Does anyone have an idea for a younger teenage girls birthday party (well, you know what I mean)? The problem is that I have wayyyyyyy too many friends and people that I'm really close to so what is something that I could do so that all of those people can come?

Answer
There are lots of ideas, but it depends on how much your parents are willing to spend.

You can always rent a banquet room at a local park or amusement park to hold your party.
There are hotels where you can rent banquet rooms to hold large parties.
There are beach parties, cabin parties (camping), bowling parties (held at bowling alleys), and stuff like that.

You really dont have to have a theme to have a party, especially if its going to involve a lot of people.
You want lots of places to sit, you want good food, and of course, a good DJ and dance floor.
Party games for people your age would be appropriate too.

Princess Birthday party...How to ask guest to dress up?

confused

My daughter who is soon to be 4 wants a princess party. Since we will invite both boys and girls we have decided to have a " Princess Ball" My daughter will dress up like a pretty princess of course and with going with the theme we would like for each child to dress up as a princess or prince(knight) How do I word this in the invitations that each child should dress up. I will have a few extra dresses on hand for those who really can't afford a dress or don't want to buy one but not enough for everyone. I would like for each child to feel like a princess or prince since it will be a "Princess Ball" Also any ideas on food, decorations and games will be greatly appreciated thanks. But if you answer anything please answer how I can word the invites that its for both boys and girls and that each child should dress up to be part of the royal ball :) thanks
Also do you know where I can buy paper plates and decor that will go with the "Princess ball party"?

Answer
Why don't you word the invite as if you are the King and Queen inviting nobility to a grand royal ball.

So you could say King (partners name if you have one) and Queen (your name) request the pleasure of Prince/Princess (childs name after) at the Palace of (your address) for a Grand Royal Ball to celebrate the birthday of Princess (your daughters name). All royal guests are requested to dress in suitable regal atire such as Kings, Queens, Prince, Princesses or Knights to befit this grand occassion.

This will get the message across to the parents at any rate....that was a rough outline but im sure you get the idea. You could put the invitations on crown shapes or as scrolls which are dyed with a used teabag to make them look old and tied with a red ribbon.

I think making your room look glitzy is a must - fairy lights around the wall and maybe even kiddies chandeliers on the roof if possible would look great. If you have a lot of money to hand then hiring a bouncy castle would be fitting, but not everyone can afford this. The cake should be shaped like a palace perhaps, you can find an example here.....
http://www.fabcake.co.uk/

For kids who dont come in costumes, you can get toy tiaras instead or role pieces of card into cone shapes and attach fabric draping down from the top of the cone - i've seen that style hat in kids stories before (not sure if you can picture what i mean though). Also even just getting red velvet feel fabric from a fabric shop and using it to make little capes would do for princes who dont turn up in outfits - and hats like those you get in crackers or just cutting crown shapes out of gold card, would also do for their outfits. Girls would probably love pink capes too actually. Fabric can be pretty cheap too!

Cover the table in a rich red cloth and make it regal by using a gold theme for plates etc.

Disney Princess stuff is popular, you could probably get their images on balloons.

You can get ordinary balloons and tie them in an arc shape around your door so it looks like a grand entrance....you could give them a little red carpet too maybe - not exactly royal but i bet they love it.

You could make a non alcoholic punch thats bright pink....have little plastic wine glasses so they feel grown up.

Try to make the room look like a ballroom - streamers help with this. Framing pictures of disney princesses along the room would make it look palacey.

Play pin the tiara on the princess (perhaps a pic of ur daughter as the princess),

Another thought i just had is to pick up crowns from burger king for the kids to wear, as they are totally free there

You could hide lots of sweeties in the garden (or gold coins like you get at christmas...symbolising the royals wealth), give each child a little decorated velvet drawstring pouch and have them hunt down as many sweets as they can...or a sweet with their name on it if you cant use lots of sweeties.

Oh and all parents who are managing the party should wear crowns - kids will love that.

As much glitter as possible wherever you can think to use it will glam the occassion up.

Little toy swords to give the boys would perhaps make them more keen to dress up, as it will help them to feel macho and suddenly make it more appealing!

Birthday invitations?

Jessica H

My daughter's birthday is coming up. She is in preschool with about 20 other kids.
I don't have room for all of the kids, and I am sure only a small number will come.
My dilemma is that I don't know if I should invite the whole class or only the ones my daughter wants to invite. She has told me a few who she wants to be there.
So should I invite the whole class and put something like "special request" on the invites of the kids she wants to come? Or just invite those she wants to come?
I don't want to be rude, and I want all the kids/parents to feel welcome, but I really don't have the room. And if my daughter doesn't want to invite some maybe it's because they are mean to her at school, I definitely don't want that at her party. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks!!

Answer
Commonly accepted birthday party invitation etiquette where we live is if you are inviting the whole class than delivering invitations at school is fine. If only some kids are invited than mail the invitations or offer a personal invitation via phone. You can't be sure who will come and who won't, so if you don't have room at your home for 20 additional children than don't invite that many. What we did for our kids' parties was if we were having the party at our home, they were permitted to invite as many children as they were old. We alternated if this number included them in the count or not. Our goal was to have an equal number of children present as even numbers always work out better than odd. For example, when they turned 5, they could invite 5 friends plus they would equal 6 kids total. When they were 6, they could have 6 kids total, counting themselves. So, basically every 2 years they had the same number of kids at the party. If they chose to have their party somewhere other than our house than we would base the number of invitations on how much the venue cost. Bowling parties and lazer tag were expensive so we limited it to 10 kids tops. The local pool offers packages that permit up to 30 kids and they provide the life guards so inviting the whole class is doable. Personally, at the preschool age, I'd go with a small group of kids and let her choose if it's going to be at your home. I would not go with the "special request" option only because that sort of thing gets around and takes on a life of it's own. Things can get dicey when people feel they are slighted or their kids are left out. It can be petty and immature, but that's how it is. I wouldn't stress an awful lot over this as it can quickly turn into drama and become less than fun for all. I suggest you find out who she wants to come and go from there. If she has kids she doesn't want to come ask her why. Friendships at this age come and go on a daily basis so who she says she wants this week may be different if you ask her next week. If you have other options for holding the party where everyone could come than consider that if that is what you both want. For some kids the more the merrier, but for others a few close friends is the best way to go. Consider you daughter's personality when deciding.

I have never thrown a birthday party before, I was hoping for ideas that are cheap & easy for a 6 year old.?

pawdog530

I was thinking about throwing a birthday party for my soon to be 6th year old girl. However, I haven't the faintest idea on what to do for it. Any advise is appreciated. What would be appropiate to do for that birthday? Should the parents be there as well? Thanks in advance, :).

Answer
just go to your local party store and have your daughter pick out what theme she wants. then get all the stuff you'll need for decorations, invitations and party favors (have a little bag of candy or a small toy for each guest) you can order a cake from your local grocery store with all different types of pictures on them to fit your theme. have your daughter give out the invites to her friends at school. You could have the parents over if you want, that way you get to know who your child is being taken care of when they're over at so-and-so's house, but then you'll need more food and drinks. You can just do cake/ice cream and maybe some snacks like chips and veggies and stuff. find some games online that you can play and have some extra prizes for the winner, you can just go to the dollar store and have your daughter pick out the prizes and wrap them for her guests. make sure each child gets a prize!
