Creativity needed for birthday invitations for 9 year old boy.?

smile

Okay...I'm trying to be creative and I'm getting there but my patience is running thin right about now so I ally need your help. My son's 9th b-day is coming up and we bought a package of sports themed paper to print the invitations with. So now I need to come up with something to say for the invitation. The paper is is 8 1/2 x 11 with a 2" border all around. Of course I need stff like his name, that it's a b-day party date, time, location etc... but all that doesn't fill in all the space. According to the sample, there is about 18 lines utilized incl. blank lines for spacing...but the sample is for a Fall Carnival and it ins't too much help. I know someone out there is in a better, more creative mood than I am in right now. Thanks!
I should add that he is in his 5th season of little league football and will be having a sports themed moonwalk for the entertainment. Thanks!

2 ideas: Makeover Sleepover Birthday Bash or Mystery Party

1) I threw a Bratz Makeover Sleepover Birthday Bash for my daughter's 9th birthday but can easily be used for an 11-year-old. I had a friend in Mary Kay give me some make-up samples but all the girls brought their own make-up (which was actually suggested on the invitation--for health reasons) and any dress-up clothes they wanted to wear. The girls arrived to the house and went upstairs to my daughter's room and got dressed up (in each others' clothes, by the way!) We then went to the bathroom and did each other's make-up in the mirror. (I had a long bathroom w/ room enough for all the girls to stand in front of the mirror.) After the makeover, the girls stood at the top of the stairs and one by one were INTRODUCED and they got to model their way down the catwalk and over to a backdrop I had set up complete w/ lights and props and balloons and streamers to have their modeling portraits taken by myself. (I happen to be a photographer but you don't have to be one to do this. You could even hire a college photo student to do it if you must!) Afterwards, we all ate pizza and had cake and ice cream and watched movies (typical sleepover stuff). In the morning we had breakfast (frozen waffles or microwave pancakes will work) and decorated 4x6 matte board frames I got from Hobby Lobby. Any place w/ a frame shop will do. Ask the framer where they keep the simple 1" wide 4x6 mattes--very inexpensive. I had my husband go out and print the 4x6s off my PC card from the camera at the kiosk at Walgreen's so the girls would have PROOF of their modeling experience to put in their frames. Also, because it was a Bratz party, I bought little fashion boot mugs and filled them w/ appropriate party favors and wrapped each in iridescent paper for their goody bags.

2) I threw a Mummy Mystery Party for my daughter's 10th birthday. I went online and bought a mystery party script for $15. It came complete w/ posters to print, invitations, and script for the party. I embellished and designed my own invitations and decorations but you don't have to. Each person received an invitation which told them which character they were to play and suggestions for costumes. When the guests arrived (and they were told to be prompt b/c these types of parties are very structured--YEA, STRUCTURE!!) I took individual photos of them in their costumes (to print and send in the Thank You cards). Afterwards, they were told why they were invited to the "British Museum"(our house)--to see the newest treasures discovered by the Professor. Well, of course, one of the treasures went missing and someone there was the culprit! It was the job of everyone to figure out WHODUNIT by interrogating each other and searching the house in teams for clues hidden before the guests arrived. There was a built-in break for food and cake and then the party resumed so that the culprit could be named. The kids all said it was the BEST party they had ever been too and the PARENTS were even talking about it weeks later! I got LOTS of kudos for that party!

Birthday party for 15 year old?

Q. im trying to figure out what to do for my birthday party and im kinda known for throwing awesome birthday partys but this year everyones really busy and my mom wants to do something smallish like cheap and not much work for her. last year i had a cake off like on tv and the year before that we went to a movie and ate out and then had a sleep over. i feel like i need to keep my tradition going but i don't have a lot of time to pull this off. HELP!
p.s before you say it, a spa party will not work my friends are NOT girly girls

Answer
15-Hour Sleepover
In honor of the guest of honor's 15th birthday, hold a 15-hour sleepover. Start the sleepover on the first quarter hour to continue the theme. For example, start the party at 7:15 p.m. and send the girls home at 10:15 a.m. Start different activities on the quarter hour. For example, at 7:15 p.m., serve dinner and cake. At 8:15 p.m., let the birthday girl open presents. At 9:15 p.m., start playing a party game.

Number 15 Party
Have a party based on the number 15. Invite 15 guests, offer 15 types of treats, foods or snacks, and include 15 of each decoration. For example, decorate the party venue with 15 balloons and 15 streamer strands. For the party menu, it does not matter what type of food you choose, as long as the guest of honor--and his friends--will enjoy it. Try simple items to keep preparation at a minimum. Consider serving cake, chips, M&Ms, crackers, flavored popcorn or guacamole and nachos. If you offer 15 different selections, you won't need to serve as much of each option.

15th Century Masquerade Ball
For a fun twist on the common costume party, hold a masquerade ball based on the 15th century. This unusual idea plays on the fact that the party is honoring a 15th birthday. In the invitations, ask your guests to wear costumes that reflect medieval and Renaissance clothing. Include a mask with each invitation. Ask guests to decorate the mask as little or as much as they want before the party. Hold a costume and mask contest. Give out prizes for the best costume and the best mask.

Jobs for 14 year old?

Hail

I'm 14 and I really would like a job so I can make money. Does anyone have any ideas for what I can do? Also, if anyone lives in Reno, Nevada, do you know any places that are hiring and would hire a 14 year old? Thanks =)

Answer
Here's a short list of jobs which you can create to generate income:

1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item.

2. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor's equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour.

3. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour.

4. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel.

5. Visit your nearest beauty salon and ask to be trained as a shampoo person who is also willing to sweep up fallen hair on the ground and do set ups [arranging dye kits, curler holders, etc.] for a set hourly fee.

6. Become a sign flipper by contacting your nearest realtor. A flipper is someone who stands at a major intersection and flips a "For Lease/Rental" sign in order to attract visitors to an open house or to a particular real estate listing. The hourly pay is at least the minimum wage.

7. Become a stand-in-line person for a ticket purchasing agency at various entertainment venues, i.e., theatres, forums, concert sites which involves getting up early and standing in line for the later appearance of a ticket agent who purchases top of the line tickets for a particular popular concert. It requires having access to a cell-phone to notify the ticket agent when your queing number comes up. So, call up you local independent ticket sales agency and offer your services for a fixed hourly fee.

Good luck!
