I'm 29 years old, what should I do if a 8 year old boy invites me to his birthday party?

Swimmer899

I live by myself. I have a really annoying neighbor. The boy lives with his mom, I've never asked his mom where his dad is.

He's so persistent, that I have agreed to play with him from time to time.

I got an invitation from his mom to go to his birthday party, apparently he insisted a lot that I go the party.

I'm a 29 year old man, what am I going to do at a boy's birthday party?

What to do?

Answer
Go, if you want. Take a card with a small gift card(15 bucks) for target or walmart for the kid. You aren't close to him so you aren't obligated to take anything big or expensive. You'll probably spend most of the time talking to the other parents. You can play with kids there for a little bit, help them with a craft or play tag. When you go to leave thank the mother for inviting you and tell her the party is lovely. If you chose to go, you don't have to stay the whole time.

If you don't want to go send a birthday card to the boy with your apologies that you can't make it via snail mail.

Are all 8 year girls sharing similar experiences of what my daughter is going through?

birthday party invitations for 8 year olds image

rascoe627

I have a daughter who just turned 8 and wants to have a birthday party with her classmates from school. I am worried that she may not have a good turn out because that's what happened during her last birthday party. It seems like she is socializing with the other kids at school well and there doesn't seem to be anything abnormal about her. Are other kids having similar experiences. Sometimes I wonder if her turnout wasn't what we expected last year because her birthday is after Christmas and maybe we don't know her classmates' parents.

Answer
I have three children, and when they were all younger, I threw huge galas for them. We're talking clowns, blow up jumpy things, the total kids party, and we also had the worst turn outs. I thought something was wrong because it was vastly different from the parties I remembered as a child.

We were friends with all of the pre-school parents, etc..., so I was befuddled there too, and then as my children got older, we became inundated with invitations to these parties. There is no way we could attend them all, and I think that's where I understood the previous turn outs. They are only allowed to go to their closet friend's parties every year. Their parties are low key and intimate with the same group of close friends.

what are some fun games to play at a 12 year old girls birthday party?

Q. im having a birthday party with 8 girls in about a week. were going to the movies then coming back to have a sleepover, problem is that were gonna have about 5 hours between when we get back till we decide to go to bed. what are some fun things or games to do?

Answer
Silly Race Games
Divide the kids into 2 groups for these games and have them race by:
Holding balloons between their knees
Jumping rope singing happy birthday
Balancing an object on head
Holding a balloon between two of the team members heads
Balancing a small ball on their feet
Skipping backwards
Bouncing a ball
Once they master the forward races, have them do them backwards!

Guess and Win Game
Fill a see through jar with lots of small candy, jellybeans, skittles, marbles or small toys. Count them before you put them into the jar. As the children arrive for the birthday party have them guess how many toys or candies they think are in the jar. Write down each birthday party guest's guess. At the end of the birthday party reveal who guessed closest to the right number. The winner takes home a small prize, or the whole jar with its contents! Tip; Use items related to your birthday party theme. Plastic bugs for an insect party, pink jelly beans for a pink or princess birthday party, rings for a glamour party etc.

Limbo Game
Two older kids or adults hold a pole or broomstick at child's height. Start the music and have the children bend backwards and walk under the pole without touching it. After each round lower the pole an inch or two. If a player touches the pole, they are out. Game Variation: Instead of a pole use something from your birthday party theme: Pirate Limbo - hold a play sword; Fairy Party - hold a magic wand.

Spin the Bottle Game (birthday gift opening game)
This birthday party game is fun when it is time to open the birthday presents. Have kids hold the birthday present that they brought and sit in a circle. Place the spinner (bottle or other item) in the middle of the circle and have the birthday child spin the bottle. They will then open the gift of the child the bottle is pointing to when it stops. Tip: Use an item from your birthday partyâs theme instead of the bottle - magic wand for a princess party, sword for a pirate party etc.

Telephone Game
Have children sit in a circle for this birthday game. The birthday child goes first and whispers a sentence to the person on their right. That person then whispers what they heard to the next person ⦠and so on. When the message has gone around the circle, the person next to the birthday child tells the message out loud. Then the birthday child tells the original message. Very funny to see how things repeated change! Start game again with the next person.

Pin the tail on the Donkey Games
Place a poster on the wall and put a piece of tape on the back of each object the children will be pinning on the poster. Blindfold children, spin them around, and point them toward the poster. The child who pins their object closest to the designated spot, is the winner! Tip: Use a poster from your birthday party theme for this game. Examples: Pin the spider on the web, tutu on the ballerina, nose on the clown, X on a treasure map etc.

Prize Auction Birthday Game
On the birthday party invitation ask each birthday guest to bring an inexpensive item or a "white elephant" (something that is in good shape but they don't want anymore) wrapped in paper or a sealed in a paper bag. Give the guests $20 in play money and start an auction for the unwrapped gifts. For fun you can add food and gag gifts to the auction items. Keep the gifts wrapped and don't let anyone know what is inside until the high bidder opens the item. At the end let the kids trade or buy each other's presents from each other.

Oversize Birthday Party Game
This birthday party game let's the kids really get involved! On a very large patio or driveway draw a large (VERY large!) gameboard with chalk. Make every square at least 18". Make it in the shape of a circle or oval (or a figure 8). Write "start" at the first square and then on each square write a command or action. Example: Square 2 = move ahead 3 spaces, Square 3 - jump up and down until your next turn, Square 4 = sing the national anthem until your next turn, Square 5 = go back 2 spaces ... and so on until every square is filled.

Make 2 large oversize dice from boxes at least 12 x 12 (the bigger the better!). The pieces being moved around the board are the kids themselves. They roll the dice and then move themselves along the game board. The winner is the one to reach the end space first by landing on it with an exact roll. Kids LOVE this game!

Nail Polish Song
This is a new twist on the game "Hot Potato". Sit in a circle and give a bottle of nail polish to the birthday girl. While singing the song pass the bottle around the circle. When verse is over the girl holding the bottle of nail polish opens it and paints one of her nails. Then start the song again and keep going until someone has all of their fingernails painted. You can give out prizes or just have fun singing along. Here is one version of the song ... you can easily make it to fit your daughters name

Ideas for invites to birthday party at the local food pantry / bank?

chris

Hello. We live in Kansas City and are having our 8 year old daughter's birthday party at a local food bank called Harvester's. I am at lost though and searching for ideas on 1) a creative invitation to highlight the power of giving or the food and 2) how to ask that instead of presents we want people to bring food and 3) let people know that this is a different party where they will get to help sort, etc.... Also ideas for thank you notes, favors, etc.... Thank you!!!

Answer
A party's planned for _____ (your daughter's name)
As she is turning 8!
Hosted at the Food Bank "Harvester's"...
We hope the turn-out's great!
In lieu of any presents,
Donated food is our request ~
And we'll gather all together
To sort and pack with all the rest!

(Details here)

Maybe you can design a card to look like a grocery bag filled with food and have a big bow tied around the middle of the bag....and a pic of your daughter carrying the bag or pushing it in a cart?

Birthday favors: Anything you want, really as this is for the guests so something you can afford that's special for them...include some candy treats in with it.

Thank you notes: Thank you for your gift of time, food and friendship that helped to make ____'s birthday party a memorable one! "The Power of Giving" is the perfect gift that never goes out of style! With much appreciation....(your names)

hope this helps :D
