What are some fun Dora themed birthday party ideas?

Mandy

Helping out with little cousins birdthday party! She is going to be 3 and loves Dora and Boots. We have decided to do a game called FIND SWIPER and another called MAP savanger hunt. If you are familiar with the show, then you will probably understand the basis if those games. Does anyone have any more ideas? The kids age ranges are 3-10. Prizes and goodies have already been added lol.

Answer

Anyone got any party ideas??

Teresa G

Me and my friend are turning 14 in less than a month and we want to have a joint party with about 16 of our friends (boys and girls) and we were wondering what we could do, which wouldnt be too expensive. We dont want a disco because we had one last year and we were thinking of camping in a field? But do you have any other suggestions?

Answer
Themed parties, in my experience always have a great turnout and people have so much fun creating their costumes. I'll give you some ideas, but the first thing I thought of was a 14 karat gold party. My friend turned 24 and had a 24 karat gold party. It was great. Everyone dressed with as much "bling bling" as possible (heavy elaborate fake jewlery, shiny gold and silver clothing). It's fun to get created with the costumes, and it's easy to find things at thrift stores.

Other ideas:
-Toga party
-ugly sweater party
-worst moment caught on camera (everyone wears the worst picture they have of themselves...its fun to laugh at each other knowing you're all doing the same thing)
-end of the world party (everyone dresses as if they survived a nuclear explosion. this usually brings lots of glow in the dark paint, its fun to look at!)
-sharpie party (everyone wears white shirts and you write fun messages on each other's...also a nice party favor)
-black and white party (everyone gets dressed up in only black and white...all decorations black and white, all photos in black and white...very posh event),

The possibilities are endless when you inform your guests of what to wear, and the pictures will be memorable!

13th birthday party ideas... Please help!?

Landon

So anyways I am having a birthday this November and was wondering what ideas there are. I want to have a good party. At first I wanted to do a camping trip and have a scavenger hunt but then i realized (because we live in Massachusetts) that it would be too cold. then I thought of a war reenactment. Please help!

Answer
Do you love themed outdoor parties? This is great. You will surely love a Tropical theme party in the middle of cold weather. With those tiki torches that you will have as a decoration and lighting scheme in the venue, you will surely have a breeze of summer. I strongly suggest this theme if the event will be held during cold season, just like yours. Hope this will help. Good luck! ^_^

How can i decorate for a farm themed summer camp?

ZZZray

I'm going to be one of the camp counselors for a summer camp and the theme is "down on the farm". As camp counselors, we are suppose to put up lots of cool and fun decorations in the cabins. My friend and I were thinking about stuffed animals like cows and chickens and pigs, and some bandannas for the campers. However, we need more ideas! They would have to be things that girls ages 9-13 would like. Please help me and my friend so that we can the coolest cabins this summer :) thanks!

Answer
I love it. I work at a summer camp, too and I really like the idea of decorating the cabins. Here are some thoughts...

Check out eBay and search for 'western decorations'. You'll find some neat things like wanted posters, western signs, a western boot planter, spurs, etc.

Also, get yourself a cowboy hat and a sheriff's badge. Maybe you can even have some deputy badges and bandanas that you can give your campers. You can find this all at your local party store. I usually go to Party City. Dollar stores might have some stuff, too.

Name your cabin and put a sign above the front door, Names could be "The Cowgirls", "The Whole in the Wall Gang", "The Pawnees," "Texas Rangers", "The Hideout", etc.

Anything with a cowhide print on it would be fun (pillows, blankets, pajamas, etc.).

You can also put a sign on the front door that says something like "Stay outta here...or you'll be pushin' up daisies."

And finally, Google "western decorations" and click on the Images link for more ideas.

Have fun.

Decoration help!!!?

Answer
What kind of decorating? Do you have to supply everything, or do they? What about paint?

Since this is going to be a quick type of project, how about a retro theme:

If not retro, this site has some interesting ideas that might work. It is for themed parties, but it might work for what you need too.

What should we do for her birthday?

camping themed party decorations image

Forever Br

I am planning her party, she is turning 12 but fairly mature for her age. She can only spend about 100 doors total because she has to pay for it on her own, she is really exited because she has never had a birthday party before. She lives in a trailor so not a ton of people if the party is at her house. It is about a month and I just need a theme and stuff to do. Oh and as a aide note she tjought a campout party would be kinda fun. Thanks in advance and take care ;)

Answer
Themed Slumber Party
Have a themed slumber party geared towards the child's and his friends' interests. For example, have a makeover party for girls where they all dress in their favorite clothes and bring fun nail polishes and hair products. Take a group of boys to a scary movie and then let them camp out in the backyard and tell ghost stories. For a mixed gender party, choose a theme based on a color that the guests must wear and then serve food and provide decorations in that color.

Movie Party
Some towns have local movie theater that allow guests to rent out a small theater for private parties and show a movie of their choice. Rent a theater and show the favorite movie of the birthday person. Twelve-year-olds love watching movies in a theater where they can talk as loudly as they want. This option can be somewhat pricey, depending on the theater--taking the kids to a normal movie or watching movies at home are great lower-cost alternatives.

Rent a Space
Rent a local swimming pool, bowling alley or ice skating or roller skating rink for a few hours for large parties. The kids will love having a space just to themselves and family members. Many of these entertainment spots have private party rooms to eat birthday cake and open presents, which are available at a lower price. Parents of the birthday child don't have to worry about cleaning up too much, and while the kids play, the adults have time to chat with each other.

Hotel Party
Take the birthday kid and two or three closest friends to a hotel for the night. It does not have to be the most expensive hotel in town--the kids will still enjoy swimming in the hotel pool, staying up late, renting movies and ordering a room service dessert.

I am looking for unique first birthday ideas. My son is turning one in September, and since it will be mostly?

Melissa Yo

I am looking for unique first birthday ideas. My son is turning one in September, and since it will be mostly adult friends at the party, i am looking for something that is not cutesy and cheesy! Any ideas or ideas of places to look for crafty ideas? thanks.

Answer
What about a camp theme? It isn't too cutesy, and there are lots of fun ways to make it perfect for adults.

The color scheme is easy - green and brown for the woods. There are some new camping theme paper goods available as well - http://www.birthdayexpress.com/browse/_/N-i/Ntt-camp/results1.aspx?AID=10645522&PID=1151654

Serve "camp food", hot dogs, kool aid, granola/trail mix, smores (yum!) and popcorn.

Lanterns and small branches from trees in vases are fun decorations. Wildflowers are great too. Set out any forest themed stuffed animal you have...bears, owls, foxes. Throw a few pinecones around for good measure. Set up one of those fake flame torches (sold usually for Halloween) on the buffet and surround it with wood for a fake fire!

Have a fire if you can (September should be perfect weather for it).

Play good camp music. Almost anything by Bob Denver is great. Or get an audio recording of ghost stories!

Have a camping theme movie playing on the tv - Ernest Goes to Camp, Daddy Day Camp, The Great Outdoors, Meatballs are a few to choose from

Have everyone leave messages for your son to read when he is older by signing something with a camp theme... a canoe paddle, a camp t-shirt, a duffle bag.

Party favors are easy - inexpensive items like whistles, compasses, travel sized bug sprays or sunscreen, flashlights. They work for the theme and are useful too!

We have a Bar/Bat Mitzvah Camp theme party. You'll have to adapt some of the ideas but it has more decoration and favor ideas in it.http://www.party411.com/PlanYourParty/Occasion/BarBatMitzvah/LetsgotoCamp.aspx

We have several more kid's birthday themes here if you'd rather do something different, adults would probably enjoy bowling, circus, outerspace and cowboy too

What is a simple & "free" birthday party to host for our 9 year old son?

camping themed party decorations image

Live, Love

Our son is wanting to get together with about six or seven of his closest friends for his "belated" birthday celebration. Our son loves the Wii video game and loves to hang out with his friends. He loves to draw, he's really good at it too! What type of party would you suggest that we have that won't break our wallet? We are on an extremely tight budget due to job pay cuts etc...We want our son to have a great and memorable party. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Answer
I'd say a sleepover is a great idea. If he loves the Wii and his friends do, too, then just let them play the games that he already has. Maybe have a championship game for the top scorers.

For refreshments, most boys like brownies and chocolate chip cookies. You could have a birthday brownies or a birthday cookies.

Make your own sundaes. Vanilla ice cream. Chocolate Syrup, sprinkles, M & M's, nuts, cherries, etc. They will have fun doing this.

Since we're close to Halloween, you could go with a Halloween theme. Rent some scary movies. Maybe buy each boy a pumpkin to carve (or decorate with paint, fabric, etc, if you are more comfortable with that--grocery store is cheaper than a pumpkin farm). Have Halloween themed food (freeze spider rings or gummy worms) in ice trays for spooky ice cubes. Worms (slice hot dogs in long strips and boil in water and they'll curl up and look like worms). Mummy Dogs (hot dog wrapped with breadstick dough and bake and then put eyes on with mustard). Caramel Apples (you can make these ahead of time or let the boys dip them-roll in nuts or decorate with M&M's or candy corn). Drink hot cocoa with a floating eyeball (large marshmallow with Choc Chip inserted in the middle). Cupcakes or brownies decorated with Halloween decorations. Potato Bugs (tater tots inserted onto raw spahetti noodle and bake per directions-use catsup for the eyes. Wal-Mart has gummy eyeballs, worms, and spiders. There's also a severed foot or hand in the candy aisle that's gummy w/ some sort of hard candy in the middle-gross but good for 9 year old boys.

Pizza. Make your own, you can buy the crusts premade, use canned biscuits or make your own crusts and a wide variety of toppings. Or, Pizza Hut has the $5 Pizza Mia (a medium) but you have to buy at least 3 to get them for $5 each. They would be less mess and could be cheaper.

Do you have a yard? If so, a camp out. Pitch some tents, have the boys bring sleeping bags. Build a fire in a fire pit (if you have one). Roast hot dogs and make smores. Play horse shoes or ring toss or both. Hold sack races (you can use old pillow cases-can buy from Salvation Army for cheap). Buy some glow sticks or cheap flashlights for the kids to play with outside to tell ghost stories or play ghosts in the graveyard.
