Birthday party etiquette?

Josee

My best friend and i are having a joint birthday party at the pool (money was an issue) and we invited our whole class (35 private school)... We have known each invitee for years now and arent sure how gifts will go. What should we do? We just want to know because we are kind of confused and dont want to make anyone feel obligated or rub someone the wrong way... I dont want to sound stuck up...

Answer
I don't think there's a properly way to communicate guests buying gift only for one of you. Some suggestions are: send the invitation clearly asking for "no gifts, please", asking to each guest bring a book (or any other donation) to a school or local library in lieu of gifts, or asking guests to bring only one gift for both, then each one of you grab one gift in alternating order, for example, the first guest to arrive, the gift is yours, the next gift is of your friend, and so on.

Ideas for a 14th birthday party for my friend?

Jessicaaaa

Me and my friend are thinking for a birthday party that is

a) Not too expsensive
b) in August
c) Fun
d) For both boys and girls
e) For around 14 people

Any ideas or much appreciated, thanks! :)

Answer
Well I had a murder mystery party for my 14th birthday. Oh my gosh, everybody had a blast! It is really fun, but it was kinda expensive. That is just because we went all out! It doesn't have to be expensive. What you do is go to www.nightofmystery.com. You pick out a mystery that sounds fun (we did the casino one.) Make sure to pick the "clean and teen" version, unless you want sex and alcohol involved. Each person gets a part that they take on. The directions are part of the package. People throughout the night will get different clues. About halfway through, someone dies. They know they die because it is on their clue. The next half is deciding who did it. That is so much fun! I hope you like the idea. A party of 8-12 people would be $35 dollars, and it comes with directions, invitations, EVERYTHING! It is so worth it.

13th Birthday Party Invitations?

Toni Mara

I'm having my 13th birthday party at the movies and then, im going bowling at AMF Bowling Center, but im having trouble writing the invitations. i don't want the boring "You're Invited" To: [person's name] From: [my name] Where?:[where its at] When: [when its at]...so can you guys puhleeze help me! thanks soo much in advance!

Answer
- convert into a verse or limerick/rhyme which will include everything.
eg. we're going-a-bowling, a-bowling, a-bowling ......

- make it a dialogue between 2 people - question & answer format
eg. where's everyone headed to? why? with whom?....

- make it a short story "there's this girl named....who's just turning 13....she wants her friends ....

- if you are good at sketching [even cartoon figures or animals would be fine], draw [or cut out & glue] characters along with a cinema hall & bowling center [on which you can write/glue the name of each]. all you need to do, instead of spelling it out in words & sentences, is to print/write out the names, dates, addresses on the pictures - self-explanatory.

hope these generate more ideas
all the best

Any good idea's for a birthday party for a 13 year old girl?

Kate

my daughter is having her B-day soon.....she doesn't know what party to have......we were going to do hibachi or medieval times.......we have a pool but she want to do something unique ....BUT NOT LIKE A LIMO that's too much money..........please help!!!! and remember something UNIQUE!!! and please more than 2 ideas :)
oh and shes NOT into hary potter or TV she wants to Go and do something

Answer
Take advantage of the swimming pool - but don't make it a "pool party" turn it into a Beach Party, Hawaiian Luau or Under the Sea party. By giving the party a theme you can have so much more fun with the invitations, decorations, food and games.

For example a beach party you can decorate using beach pails, sand toys, colorful beach towels, beach umbrellas and beach chairs. Have lots of beach balls of different sizes floating in the pool. If it is an evening party you can get a light up beach ball and set up a volleyball net in the pool or nearby.

http://www.poolfunforeveryone.com/beach-party-ideas.html

A Hawaiian luau means lots of color. Your daughter can help by making tissue paper flowers and hang them from tree branches or from the ribs of the umbrella. We got two light up hoola hoops from Target for our Hawaiian themed party and had a hoola hoop contest. For more Hawaiian party ideas go to:

What are some tips for planning a 3 year old (girl) birthday party?

rebecca c

My daughter is turning 3 at the end of the month. The party is going to be small but I want it to be a memorable birthday for her. I am going to make her a barbie birthday cake but not sure of the party favors or games. So far the only game that comes to mind is pin the tale on the donkey. (Need ideas for a few more games). As far as ideas for party favors, the kids who will be invited will be 2, 3, 1, and 6 - all boys except for a girl (my daughter's 3 year old cousin).
I guess I should have said this before. Even though I'm having a barbie cake for Shelby, it's not going to be a "barbie party". I let Shelby pick out what kind of cake she wanted, she picked Barbie. Really surprised she didn't pick Spiderman LOL. With more boys than girls coming, I don't want to do a big girly theme. Just a big day of fun.
Thanks everybody for all the advice and links!

Answer
here is a link that has a ton of suggestions for the perfect barbie birthday party (i.e. invitations, favors, games,decorations)...

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.

this year my nephew who will be 5 wants a Dora and Diego party so this is what we are doing

How To Have A Fabulous Camping Themed Party?

Brooklyn

I am having a camping themed birthday party late August. I have a few ideas such as:

~Swimming in the lake (a.k.a our pool)
~Making s'mores with our fire pit
~Watching a movie under the stars (we got a projector and a screen + will be watching from the tent)

I think a camping themed party is kind of out there and might be hard to pull off. Can you think of any ideas for the party (in general or specifics) or any suggestions other than the ones listed above?

P.S: I have NEVER been camping so I don't really have the experience like others, so is there anything that I am missing that makes camping truly spectacular? Thanks!

A few things to keep in mind:
~ I am a girl going into Middle School and so is everyone else I am inviting.
~ It will be a 'Slumber Party' also, so any ideas that we would do later in the party would be great!
~ Anything camp related will be appreciated, from food ideas to activities.
~ We won't actually be sleeping outside.

Answer
Cool, that's creative! I suggest that you make your own invites. It could be come to Camp ___ (your last name or first or whatever) and your address for some Creepy, Crawling, Camp Fun! You could have a scavenger hunt with teams and a point system. And tell scary stories under the stars. Also you could make these "BBQ" cupcakes. There's some on pinterest, it's basically icing and candy to look like a grill. And there's a similar cake design. You could have a bonfire and ask everyone to bring their latest school stuff and burn it. Y'all could all make t shirts with Camp whatever on it. It's easy, just get a pack of colored tees and iron on letters or fabric markers. When y'all are outside roasting marshmallows or whatever you could put on a campfire song (spongebob lol) or just the sound of nature. In goody bags you could give out fake bugs, lip gloss, etc...also a camp survival kit (band aids, water bottle, flashlight mini, compass, and trail mix.)
You could have games like 'fear factor' with obstacle courses or like apple bobbing except one of the apples has a fake bug in it to find or something? Prizes could be candy, magnetic fishing pole (dollar store) whatever. Also for food you can have dirt ice cream which is crushed Oreos, favorite ice cream and gummy worms. You can use lanterns for the scavenger hunt and hid glow in the dark bugs and stuff. Look for fireflys and such. Make it a fun one and good luck!

Will you help me with an "indoor camping" themed party?

The Reals

My friend is turning 17 and loves camping. She also loves fairy tales and mystical creatures. We are theming her party "woodland creature campout!" Some of the attendees are dressing like mystical creatures and others are dressing in camo/plaid. What funny/fun activities can we do? I am at a loss.

Answer
BURGLARE ALARM GAME- Set a little timer and have everyone go out of the room. One person stays in and hides the timer. Then the other children come back in and try to find the timer before it goes off. Whoever finds it gets some kind of prize and also a chance to hide it the second time around. In case the timer goes off before anyone has a chance to find it, the person hiding it gets a prize. For an added effect this could be played in a dark room using flashlights.


HIDE AND SEEK THE BLAIR WITCH WAY- (Best for teenagers) This is a new type of hide and seek to play using a mobile phone and your home phone. Wait until itâs dark and turn out the lights. One person hides with a cell phone. In the pitch black, everyone goes looking for this one person. Every so often the person hiding must call the house phone and give clues to where he/she is hiding. This game is thrilling and fun. If you have one, use a night vision video camera to follow the guests and watch the tape later.


SCAVENGER HUNT - Go to the Mall, home or outside and do a scavenger hunt. Make a list of things to find and set a time limit and go for it.

You will need to have your mom or someone the day before go to the mall, or hide things at home or outside. If at mall have your mom go to the mall and find like 20 items in store windows for you to hunt for. Just don't let her go to early for the windows might change. Otherwise have her hide where you will be doing this.

Give each person a piece of paper with the items on it and space to write what store they found it in or collect the items that are hidden AND HAVE A PRIZE FOR THE WINNER.

Answer
Hello, I recently began creating my own designs as well, just like the ones you showed here. I too sold on eBay and now have my own website where I sell them. The programs I use are Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. Mostly Photoshop. It has kind of a steep learning curve but if you can put some time into learing it you can create almost anything. Paint Shop Pro is also a good cheaper alternative.

BIRTHDAY PARTY THEMES!!!?

lely1998

Okay, so as you can see i need party idea themes for my birthday party. I'm going to turn 12 in July but i want my party in May, so i need ideas for May 19 but if May 19 has already past I will still appreciate and may want to use your idea for my 13th birthday. A theme I had was "GIRLS' NIGHT IN"
it would be a sleepover, we would have mini hot dogs, macaroni and cheese in little bowls, grilled cheese sandwiches cut into 6 triangle pieces and 3 pieces ( half of the sandwich) for each girl. take a picture of me and the girls and blow it up poster size in black and white and hang it on the wall, and give like little gift bags with lip gloss. a nail file, nail polish and little stuff like that.

Answer
How about a cute Japanese theme? You never see that much and it can be so cute and pretty.

You could make lots of origami shapes, from plain or patterned paper to match the color theme.
here's a site that shows you how in 3D step by step>>>http://origami.org.uk/

The shapes can be threaded into a garland to hang from the ceiling or strung along the center of a table. Paper lanterns and parasols are widely available and can hang from the ceiling and from walls or sit on tables. An unusual centerpiece can be made by folding a giant origami shape from a large sheet of paper, like a sheet of patterned gift wrap.

Paper fans can be made very quickly and easily; use printed Japanese origami paper, or decorate plain paper with painting or rubber stamping, then simply pleat the paper and secure with tape at the bottom. Plain paper napkins and invitations can be decorated with a rubber stamp featuring Japanese-style motifs.

Everyone can make a kimono-type thing together by buying huge oversized T-shirts, then painting them with fabric paint and having a wide sash ribbon to tie around to gather the loose fabric around the waist (arms would be big and hang down like a kimono).

Your birthday cake can say happy birthday in Japanese.

Good Japanese finger foods to serve at a birthday party are sushi and bowls of rice crackers. Not everybody likes sushi though, so alternatives and extras you could serve are salads with Asian dressing, terriyaki chicken skewers, hot or cold noodle dishes, plain white rice . You could serve small portions of these dishes in little rice bowls.

If you are creative with cupcakes and desserts you could use food coloring and frost them to look like sushi. If you can find an inexpensive Japanese tea set, serve a pot of green tea or use the tea pot to serve soft drinks.

Do lots of REDS and GOLDS. Have a water fountain.

PARTY FAVORS; You could save sushi take-out boxes or buy plastic bento boxes to package party favors. Bento boxes have separate small sections so you could place a small gift or trinket in each one. Inexpensive party favors you could make at home are origami bookmarks and paper fans, or you could purchase little Buddha ornaments or decorated chopsticks. If there are only a few guests or you want to give them something more special, you can purchase miniature Zen gardens, or find postcards of Japanese scenery or artwork and frame them.

summer camp ideas on activities kids do not do in school?

Stacy

I am running a summer camp and need fun games and activities ideas. I want to make sure these games and activities are something kids do not get to do during the school year (arts, crafts, etc). I need some ideas on like Survivor games and Fear Factor activities. Nothing that will harm a child but something they will remember forever.

Answer
I think it would be fun to do something like Fear Factor. Make an obstacle course using different kinds of textures like shaving cream, shaving gel, mud, spaghetti noodles in a bucket..that type of thing. Another thing that would be fun is to dedicate a week and call it "Summer Olympics." Each day you can have a few different events. Require the children to do relay sports where they have to work together to win. You can pick up medals at any party store for a couple of dollars.
Maybe over the next few weeks you can do a tea party or water day.
There is so much you can do and have fun with!

Should we decline the birthday party invitation?

Q. The little boy I used to baby-sit (when he was 3) is turning 6 and having a birthday party. Every year since then his mother has invited us and our children to his birthday parties even though we have been out of his life now a few years. The last party of his that we attended, we didn't know anyone there and we were getting the, "who the hell are they" looks from people. Would it be okay to decline the invitation but send a small gift in the mail to the boy?

Answer
It's very nice for them to invite you but you are not obligated to attend or even send a gift. You babysat him a long time ago and you are uncomfortable going to the party. I'm sure the parents would be okay if you didn't show up if you let them know why.

Vintage Birthday party ideas?

Ashley

For my 15th birthday I want to throw a vintage themed party! What type of decorations would I need, what type of cake and what type of music should I have? Also, what type of food do you think would match this theme? Thanks(:

Answer
Sounds like it could be a cool party, but 'vintage' can refer to anything more than a few years old. Maybe you could narrow the focus a little? You could pick a decade theme - 20's could be flappers and strings of pearls ala gatsby; 30s is great depression, so probably not the best party, haha, same with 40's (the war); 50's is pretty cute - fitted prints and hourglass shapes, high wastes, like mad men era. 60's is obvious, hippies and stuff; 70's disco, and head scarves, and the rise of 'lounge wear'; 80's madonna and hair metal, jean jackets and punky styles; 90's is pushing it a little

If you wanted to make a more general vintage theme, I guess you could sort of pick-and-choose from retro items and just have a lot going on. It would be kitschy, and it could be cool, but it wouldn't be consistent.

One kind of really great vintage party is a Garden Party. The idea is that it's a semi-formal, chic cocktail party that would happen in a garden (or in a yard), usually in the late afternoon, or at night with paper lanterns strung up. Women would wear sundresses and floral gowns/ jewel tones and heels (anything but dark colors and heavy fabrics). Men could wear normal suits, but were also invited to wear lighter colored suits and jackets, and be more creative in prints and colors than if it were black tie. You serve light, cold refreshments: hors d'oeuvres, finger sandwiches, chilled soups, etc - and to drink, crisp, clear beverages - iced tea, lemonade, punch, sparkling white wine, cocktails with light, sweet liqueurs like St Germaine. The cake can be anything, but I think something light and airy would be appropriate, maybe a tall, spongy cake with a thick, fluffy white icing, hint of lemon or something.

Decor: for a Garden Party, of course the 'garden' is the most important component. But that doesn't mean you have to be limited to a backyard! A few years ago in college, I actually threw a garden party, and it was widely considered the best party of that year. I didn't have a garden, but my apartment was pretty spacious. I moved all the furniture out of the living room, except a big table which I put against the far wall, and put down an retro-looking table cloth (anything will do, stripes, gingham, pale pink cotton or even lace doilies/ table runner!), and used that for the finger food and punch. I was really proud - I managed to find this gorgeous antique crystal punch bowl with a set of matching crystal cordial glasses. To decorate the table further, I had an antique birdcage full of flowers, and a garland of flag bunting on the wall behind it. Also, if you can find those glass (or plastic) pedestals/ covers for your food, that would be perfect :)

So, to deal with the fact that my 'garden' was inside, I had to transform my living room into a garden. I borrowed some potted plants, and had a lot of plants around. I also made flowers out of pastel-colored tissue paper (tutorials online) and hung them up on rows of white string lights, and it was a cool effect. Alongside the paper lanterns and an old-fashioned table lamp, I had some great indirect lighting that made everything look like sunset :) I set out some lawn furniture, and bought an old-fashioned notebook to use as a Guestbook, in which everyone wrote a little note for me, which I still cherish, and people had a great time! Everyone got really into the theme and looked amazing, I couldn't have been happier with it. Also, for invitations, I wrote them on a ribbon I tied to the stem of fake flowers that I handed out in school. But I was thinking another cool idea would be to buy some old picture postcards from an antique shop and write them on that. Handwriting is key, there were no shortcuts back then!

Music: the garden party is a good theme because it's pretty general within the vintage realm. Chic, fancy people held garden parties pretty consistently until about the 70s, so it's pretty classic and open to interpretation. But because it's mostly a cocktail party, the best music should be subtle, pleasant and not distracting from conversation. I recommend you listen to the following cool old-timey musicians, and see which of these fit in most with your aesthetic:
Fats Waller, George Gershwin, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Glenn Miller, Chico Buarque, Astrud Gilberto, Bobby Darin, Leslie Gore, Frank Sinatra, Andrews Sisters, Serge Gainsbourg, Nancy&Lee, Velvet Undergound, Patsy Cline, The Shangri-Las....

I totally got carried away with this, but I hope you have the best birthday party ever :)

Birthday Party Ideas?

Lynz

Hi, I'm a 13 year old girl. I need an idea for my birthday party. I need answers quickly because invitations need to be out tomorrow or perhaps the next day!

Here are some things you may need to know:
-I have 7 people in mind
-I want to have it reasonably cheap because my previous parties have been quite expensive for my parents
-I'm not exactly the most talkative person ever so if I have to do a lot of entertaining they will probably get bored :P
-I want it to be really fun because I'm going to turn into a teen!!
-Don't make it depend too much on weather because it's very unreliable
The party will be on May 31st so I need to get planning!
Thanks!

Answer
You could have a sleep over party. eat a nice dinner together, watch a movie(at home rent), etc.

Or you could go rollar blading, it's not to expensive and for seven people including rental and pizza, it could be a nice party under $70-$80

Same for ice skating and bowling(well maybe 100$)

Answer
Disco Ball Birthday Party


Invitations:
Print invitations like a disco ball and write inside: You're invited to last name's dance floor. Be prepared for the dancing diva of your life! Include the date, time and location of your disco ball party.

Decorations:
Colors-Yellow, red, orange, purple, and blue, all vivid colors for fun. You can cut-outs pictures of famous dancers. If you have laser lights or black lights try them. A Fog machine is cool too! (Put that on the invitation if you're going to have them there)

Foods And Cake
Sheet cake, frost w/ bright colors, and sprinkles if you like. Then make music notes or a boom box for the rest of the frosting. You can prepare some finger food too.

Games

Pin The Tail
Pin the tail on the donkey is a classic, even if you're a teen.

Statue Dance
This dance game has several players. Let your guess choose their partner. Dance along with the beat and every time music stop playing, you have to stop dancing and freeze. The judge will look around the players to see if someone is moving or smiling. If the judge caught anyone moving or smiling they will be out from the game. The last pair wins the game.

Newspaper Dance
The idea is similar to the statue dance but the couple will need a newspaper. They will dance with the music and when it stopped, the couple should stand on the newspaper, making sure that their feet don't go over the edge of the newspaper. The judge will look around and to check the couples feet. The one who breaks the rule is out. Then in the second round the couple will fold their paper half and the same rule applies. Their feet should be on the newspaper and doesnât go over or beyond the newspaper. They can do whatever position as long as both their feet are on the paper. Follow the same rules during the third time. Fold the paper more until it gets smaller and more difficult to stand. The last pair wins the game.

Pretty In Pink Birthday Party


Invitations:
Print out something pink for the invitations
you could get background ideas on the internet
and add a little note about the guests
should wear as much pink as they can.
Then tie it with a pink ribbon.

Cake and Foods
Make a cake decorated with pink flower icing and white frosting. Any traditional party foods will do. Just add , just add pink for extra pizzazz and a strawberry punch would taste good for you pink motif.

Decorations:
Wrap pictures on your wall in pink wrapping paper. Replace a few light bulbs with pink bulbs for a rosy-hued room. Pink bed sheets can be draped over furniture or used as draperies above doorways. Pink jellybeans, conversation hearts or pink-wrapped chocolates are great on top of tables, or in a pink bowl. Pink construction paper, glitter and glue can be combined to create cone crowns for guests. Just make a cone out of the paper, decorate and wear. Scatter pink confetti and glitter along outside walkways leading to the party entrance to give guests a taste of what is to come.

Games and Activities
Play Bingo and call the game flamingo Bingo or Pretty in Pink Scavenger Hunt or Trivia Game. You can even offer prizes for the âpinkest pair,â or the âbrightest sight.â

you wil need to pick one of this parties and enjoy

Answer
Party ideas....

GLOW-IN-THE-DARK
Surprise your new teen with a nighttime party which boasts a glow-in-the-dark theme! Guests will be thrilled when theyâre escorted into a pitch black room that contains phosphorescent party items. Party stores carry a wide variety of items for such an occasion, including tablecloths with designs that glow in the dark and matching accessories. Other such items include hats, plastic watches, bracelets, glow sticks, cake toppers, birthday candles and wall decorations, to name just a few. To produce a lasting glow-in-the-dark effect, exchange the regular light bulbs in the room with black lights

HOLLYWOOD
Since your son or daughter is the star of the party, integrate Hollywood into this yearâs decorations. Use a red runner leading into the party room and place large shiny gold stars on the floor to each side of it. Write the name of a guest on each star and save the star for the portion of the floor at the end of the runner where the guest of honorâs name can be written. Party hats can be black top hats for males and rhinestone tiaras for females. Decorate the walls with posters of contemporary or legendary movie stars â cardboard stand-ups can be used, too. Place a movie slate on the party table, as well as a plastic version of the Oscar Award. Make popcorn one of the snacks, and serve it in cardboard containers such as the kind youâd find at the theater. Other decorations can include ticket stubs, a film tin, glittery rings, a camera, sunglasses and plastic champagne glasses.

Out to Dinner Teen Party
The kids all dress up and you could start the evening with cocktails at your house. Check out these great drinks recipe books.
Book two tables in the restaurant â one for the teenagers and one for you. It's much more fun for them (and you) to let them have their own space. And you could give your teenager a budget so he/she is in charge of the bill

Sleepover Teen Party
Not a new idea but always popular especially with the girls. Rent a couple of DVD's and get in lots of snacks, drinks and treats and get something special for breakfast (more like brunch!). Arrange for younger siblings to stay with a friend or have their own friend for the night so they don't feel left out or get in the way. Make the teen party invitations to look like sleeping bags and insert a picture of the party host. Buy some packs of disposable cameras so the kids can have fun taking photos of each other. We did this for my daughter's last birthday and it was a great success.

Different birthday party ideas?

MHB

I really like to think outside of the box, which is why I have always had compliments on how fun my parties were. In the past I have had : Murder mystery dinner; scavenger hunt at the mall. And i have been to parties: we dressed up in character and went to walmart; went ice skating; and the classic sleepover. I want to do something fun this year but I don't know what... A little about me: I have 5 main best friends who I plan on inviting and are all different, I live in the bay area (so no suggestions to go to central park or something :)), I am turning 13 (age appropriate please!!!!!!!!!!), i loooove ice cream, and hanging with my friends. Not much but I hope I can get some good suggestions! and oh ya my birthday is next week so answers soon please. Thanks!

Any ideas for a 70's theme birthday party (for adults)?

dragonflyg

I am celebrating my 4? birthday and the theme will be th 70's. Any ideas for decorations, original invitations, food, gifts for attendants, etc.
I need serious ideas no stupid ones. Thank you!!

Answer
What a great idea!
Of course your realize that I am FAR too young to remember the 70s! (I wish)
Definitely be playing 70s music, Disco? Get a disco ball...probably cheap at Spencer's.
Require everyone to come dressed in 70s clothing...some of it is in style now. Wild colors, hip huggers, bell bottoms, BIG shoes, silky disco shirts, collars up. Some clothing may be available at Goodwill or the Salvation Army. Everyone must style their hair for that decade...guys part their hair down the middle, girls can curl their hair like Farrah Fawcett.
Food, gee, I don't know....pizza? Fondue? Maybe the food was the same as now?
Games, how about playing twister. Truth or Dare?
Have TVLand on the TV in a room to the side, or be showing some series or 70s movies on DVD. Smokey and the Bandit, Jaws, StarWars etc would be great.
Gifts....how about slinkys, maybe some Scooby Doo stuff, or Brady Bunch items. Were rubik's cubes from the 80s? Poprocks and other novelty candies are available at The Old Time Candy Company... http://www.oldtimecandy.com/
For invitations, I can't think of anyplace to get them off hand, but if it were me, I'd search on line for a 70s kinda looking picture and print it to make my own invitations. Use words like "A Groovy Time". Use wild colors, then print them yourself or email them.
If I wasn't so young and didn't have to be to bed so early, I'd ask for an invitation myself! It sounds like a blast!

Ideas for a clean but fun STAGETTE party???

Q. hey im the maid of honour for one of my best girlfriends weddings. i need ideas for her stagette. no or little alcohol involved and clean ideas only please. we want to have a blast, but keep it chaste. any ideas??? scanvenger hunt?? what should be on the list???

Answer
Im not sure where u r from so I dont know what is available in your area nor do I have any idea of how many people you would like or your budget but here are a few ideas;
1. Go paint balling (advisable to do this a few weeks before the wedding in case there are bruises on the bride or yourself)
2. Go down to a local park/nature reserve and have a bbq
3. Go to a comedy club to see some stand up comedians (many venues will do a special package for a hens night - perhaps hire a coach for everybody so you can all go together?)
4. Do a car scavenger hunt (just like the Amazing Race but on a lot smaller scale) This would be nice if the bride had a luxury or vintage car hired for her.
5. Host a party at home - you can either have a big bash with lots of music and dancing or a more intimate gathering where you do girly things like have a manicure etc.
6. Go to a day spa and all get pampered together.
7. Go on a shopping tour
8. Go on a coach tour around the wineries.
9. Organise a boat cruise - either in a nice boat down a river or do something like dolphin/seal/whale watching depending on whats available
10. Go to a really nice restraunt. You could try somewhere unusual and traditional - like a kobe japanese place where they throw the bowls of food at you or mongolian where they cook it right in front of you.
11. Book out a local theme park or adventure resort for a few hours
12. Go away on a relaxing retreat for a weekend or go camping by the beach or in the bush.
13. Spend a day doing an adventure sport, such as canoeing, hiking, white water rafting, have surfing lessons, horseback riding etc.
14. Try a creative class, such as a personalised cooking class or art class depending on what interests the bride
15. Have a simple movie night with the girls eating lots of popcorn and talking heaps about the men in your lives.
16. The typical night club thing is always available...
17. Book out the whole of the Gold Class/Premier part of the cinemas and go watch a good chick flick and enjoy the luxury of being pampered.
18. Go to the theater, perhaps grab a meal together first.
Hope this gives you some ideas

What to do for a Hens and Bucks Night when we don't drink!!?

TarenM9

I know this sounds silly but all of my bridal party and family and friends drink and my partner and I don't. I desperately need Ideas for our bucks and hens night! My partner is thinking of going fishing/camping on an island for two nights and I am completely stuck with mine, Thought about a day spa but its just an added expense what with all of the wedding costs already. Plz Help!

Answer
Almost anything costs less than alcohol. If the boys are going fishing & camping, maybe the girls would enjoy going to the beach. You have to think about what you and your friends enjoy when they are not drinking! Tennis, golf, bridge, hiking with a guide... certainly not a day spa, many women hate that stuff. A specialized class at a cooking school, a dance class - contra, tap, squaredance.

Camp Rock Party!?

Sweet_Memo

I'm having a camp rock party with a bunch of my friends and we want to make t-shirts with the iron on decals from the offical camp rock website but we want to put a saying on the back?? Any Ideas??

Also if you have any ideas for a party that would be great!! Thanks =]

Answer
I am having a Camp Rock party too, you should put nick-names on the back of the shirts, that's what i am doing!
or you could put "Group Hug" on the front and then "Much Better" on the back! or find some quotes by the jobros/demi lovato!

My party is going to be a Camp Rock Camp Out, so after the movie premier, we are having a sleep over, i had a HSM2 premier party and had games like DARBUS DETENTION where mrs.darbus took all the cell phones and they had to do a scavenger hunt to find them, maybe you can find something related to CAMP ROCK and make games like DARBUS DETENTION!

Make sure you have the CAMP ROCK soundtrack, JOBRO cd's and demi lovato music handy though!!!
