I am throwing her a birthday party.. an open invitation for all of her family members... and I was wondering as to where to start as far as food is concerned... go potluck? or where do I start in making and buying the food??? Any advice will be appreciated. Right now, i'm starting at scratch!
No sarcasms pls.. i'm serious about this.
Answer
Keep in mind that Grandma's appetite is probably a lot smaller than when she was younger and she may have a bit more trouble eating some things so keep it simple. Nothing hard or messy to eat like ribs. Potluck works well especially if you give each person an idea of what to bring so you don't end up with duplicates of everything. Different kinds of meatballs ( sweet and sour, etc. ), fried chicken, salads, fancy finger sandwiches, pickles, olives, a variety of cheeses, lasagna, coldcuts, devilled eggs, some homemade bread or rolls, and a variety of squares, cookies and dainties (as they used to call them), ice cold lemon aide and lots of tea. If Grandma enjoys a certain alcoholic beverage have it on hand or a bottle of champayne for a toast to her health. She will probably not have the stamina to handle a party that goes on for hours so by keeping the time for heating up or preparing foods to a minimum more time can be spent visiting with her. If it's a nice day outside decorate the yard with balloons and streamers with a specially decorated chair for grandma and have the party outdoors picnic style. She probably doesn't get to spend as much time outside as she used to and would really enjoy it. Tape some old music that was popular in her younger years to play in the background with a special song just for her,( let me call you sweetheart?) and get her up to waltz to it if shes able. If not type out the words to some old songs, hand them out to everyone and sing along with her. Get the kids to put together a skit to perform for her. Seniors love remenising so perhaps search out the internet put together a list of things that happened the day or year she was born and read them to her. A birthday cake should be the highlight of the day. Take lots of pictures and present her with a Signed guestbook as a keepsake of her special day. On my Mothers 80th and my Fathers 90th birthdays we contacted the Government and they were given beautiful commemorative plaques and framed certificates and congratulatory letters from the government. I don't know if they do that where you live but my parents felt so honored by this.

What should I do for my 13th Birthday Party?
Q. I am having a GIRLS only birthday party. My 13th Brithday party is next October 2008. I have my own movie Theatre if that helps. And a HUGE house. Im going to invite all my girl friends but I don't know what kind of birthday to have. We are willing to buy lots of party accesories. Any help?
Answer
WOW....my niece just had her 10th birthday using DVD invitations with her pictures and a song with the invitations instructions...about 1-3 minutes long.
You should try that as an invitation..and for the party if you gonna have dancing; on the movie screen you should have the music videos to that song you are playing...and someone filming the party that may occasionally show live on the screen what is going on while the party is popping.
If you want suttle with just girls...I recommend a party that involves movies and karaoke...
