Birthday tea - any ideas for a 7 year old ?

Spooky1

Instead of a party, we have bought our son a trampoline and would like to ask him to choose say maybe 3 good friends to come over for a birthday tea. I am going to do 'party' bags and 'party' food, but the entertainment will be the trampoline and playing together with his toys.

How should I word the invite?, any interesting food ideas?, any ideas at all to make this a memorable day for him? Thanks
I will make the possibly dinosaur shaped invites myself.
April - wow, how mean are you?, not called for at all....
I am in the UK - where a 'tea' party is considered just fine. Tsk, the language devide could cause complications if I let it!

Answer
I'm sure by 'birthday tea' you don't mean 'tea party' but inviting a couple of friends over to have dinner as some other answerers have been a bit confused.

I think for the invite you should just go with format for party invitations, but just swap 'party' with 'dinner'. Then you just have the normal details, who, where, when, what to bring (if anything), rsvp etc. The dinosaur shapes sound great!

Party food ideas: pizza, cookies, cupcakes, donuts, popcorn, toasted sandwiches, sausage rolls, chips and dip, soda, fruit juice, jell-o, gingerbread people, ice cream, fruit kebabs, lamingtons, chocolate mousse, rocky road, mini hamburgers, nachos, tacos, carrot & celery sticks, candy, chocolate, toffee apples and brownies.

To make it memorable, just make sure you have some other party games (as well as having fun on the trampoline). Take lots of photos and film (if you have video camera) and keep the kids entertained and safe.

Sweet 16 Birthday Party/Party Planning question?

un poco lo

My best friend and I were born within the same month and we decided that it would be easiest if we had our sweet 16s this summer together. We decided it would be at her house because she has a deck, patio, decent sized yard and a trampoline. So my question(s) are how would you go about planning a party like this? We'll probably invite around 100 people. How should we budget since things will be a split cost and we won't have to pay for a place to have it in? Any other advice or experience planning big parties? Thanks so much!

Answer
Well you say 100, but may end of being less. Send out "save the date" invitations, then have the rsvp about 3-4 weeks before the party date. This way you will have a better head count on the people attending. Are you having this catered? Or are you having a barbecued? Catered, you don't have to do a thing! You cook, you have to cook, clean up, and mostly likely wait on your guests, so you really don't have much time to enjoy yourself. I would call a caterer and ask if they do picnic packages, shouldn't be that expensive. $10-15 per person

I am making a birthday party for an 11 year old girl, I need advice...?

I need themes, or anything, any fun games to do at a party, invitations, food, etc, she is NOT a girly girl. She is not a tomboy either, like in between. I need help, her birthday is in January.
thanks, and I do have a WII! :)

Answer
Depending on where you live (or rather, if it is cold enough where you live)...

- Skating (Maybe you could do outdoor skating at night, then come back to your place for pizza, and maybe a movie and a sleepover?)

- Same thing as above except for tobogganing instead of skating.

And then, there are always the classics...

- Movie theater, then a sleepover.

- At home spa (but since you have mentioned that she is not that much of a girly girl, this might not be the greatest.)

- Rock climbing (this is great, especially if she's athletic. Lots of my friends have done this)

I remember when I was younger, my mom would take us to random fun places for my birthday parties. I think when I was 10, we went to an indoor roller skating park. When I was 11, we went to a trampolining place where they taught us how to do tricks and flips on the trampolines (this was probably my most fun birthday party ever! I would definitely recommend it.)
Also, when my friend was turning 11, we went to this place where you paint your own ceramic cups, places, bowls, etc., and then they put them in the oven for you and you get to take them home. That was fun.



As for food, it kind of depends on the number of kids that there are going to be. If you're going to be feeding a crowd, like 10+ kids, then I would recommend something simple like pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, etc., or else it can get kind of expensive (if you go to a restaurant), or time consuming (if you're going to cook yourself).

However, if you are going to be having only a few kids, then you could splurge a little bit and take them out to a restaurant, since it won't be as expensive. I would recommend Montana's, Kelsey's, Swiss Chalet, pretty much any of those family restaurants.

Also, if you're going to have a sleepover (which I would highly recommend, 11 year old girls love them, regardless of weather or not the are girly girls), make sure you have tons of snacks. I would recommend chips, cookies, pop, pretty much whatever she wants. Don't worry about all the sugar, afterall, this only happens once a year :)

Games... hmmmm. Pinyata, musical chairs, board games.

For invitations, my mom used to always make them on the computer using some simple graphic design program. It's not that difficult at all. Just include the basic information, and put some pretty pictures.

For my 13th b-day I am having a co-ed party...?!?

birthday party invitations trampoline image

pancake272

So I am having 25 people coming 14 girls and 11 boys. I have a garage that is not attached to my house and I'm gonna decorate it with X-mas lights and have a snack table and stuff.I also have a trampoline and a big yard so....but what else can I do!!!!!!!!!!

Answer
for my 13th birthday i also had my first coed birthday party and it was awesome! what i did was i got a bunch of food and music and played it the whole time. i also got lights kinda like you with the xmas lights and turned down the main lights a bit so it looked really cool. i set up ddr (dance dance revolution) also and that was a hit too. kareoke is a good idea too. don't get too many balloons unless you wanna spend a lot of time cleaning up because people like to pop them. another pointer is to hand out invitations kind of early so people don't make other plans. hope this helped you! have fun and good luck! (:

Is this a good lead? SUGGESTIONS PLEASE.?

lexi.

This is my first column. And if it is bad be harsh! i need a excellent and my whole school will be seeing this. Help me out with anything you think needs changed. Your suggestions will be in serious consideration. THANK YOU. Espiecally my introduction. Its not very good.

*Ring ring, ring ring.* you hear that sound every day, donât you? I sure do. Can you imagine what it was like when you wouldnât hear that?
My mom and dad grew up when there were absolutely no cell phones. Cell phones werenât even thought of when they were teenagers, and I know you are thinking âWow, their old!â But when you think about it, thatâs not true, cell phones are only 39 years old. Can you believe that?
We got our cell phones when we were beginning 5th or 6th grade, most likely. I was in 5th grade. I remember the day perfectly, it was sunny, and I passed my test with a 100%. I came home and my dad told me if I wanted a surprise. I just thought to myself âCan this day get any better?â and it did. There it was, my first cell phone. It wasnât very fancy but I really didnât care it was a cell phone and I could call it mine.
In todayâs society we see touch screen phones, phones with navigation systems built in, texting, apps, music, wifi, cameras, really anything you could think of would be in a phone. The first cell phone could barely get reception.
I remember when if you wanted to have a birthday party or any party you sent hand written invitations. Some girls even had little arguments to see which invite was better and more creative; Iâm actually guilty of that. In todayâs world you just send a text and invite them.
I walked into Wal-Mart a few weeks ago and I was in the picture frame aisle when a little girl about 8 or 9 walked right in front of me and had an iPhone texting. When I was 8 or 9 I had chalk, dolls, and a trampoline. 8 years olds are going to get wrapped up in drama life when they should be worrying about grades, family, and other important events. Not where a friend is every single second of the day.
Cells phones are fantastic and I love mine, but itâs the age that bothers me; no 8 year old should have a cell phone. Some teenagers shouldnât even have a cell phone. Itâs the responsible having the cell phone. People use their phones for some bad reason at times; some use it for good things. At one point in someoneâs life I think everyone should have a cell phone.
âYou never know what you have until itâs gone.â This is what a lot of people would say when you get your cell phone taken away or any other reason.
