Post what their ages are in your additional details and i'll be able to give better advice. BLESS YOU WOMAN. You are one brave soul! My children are 9 and 10 so I'll have to go with what I would want to do. BOWLING. Both sexes like it and you don't have to do much entertaining. Start making our a guest list now. The party is going to be in February but start organizing the details now. I'd make sure to buy canned pop. It's less of a mess and it will save you time. Ask your child what they want as far as cake and ice cream is concerned. Also, I always recruit a mother to help me out. It's usually my sister and my aunt.

My idea for you is to have a nightclub themed party. You can name your nightclub "birthday" or "17". Send out invitation as if they were to visit the exclusive V.I.P room of this new club, but make sure people know it's for your birthday party. Decorate by exchanging your normal lights for blacklights, colored light bulbs, and soft lighting. Have each room or section of your house as a different section of the club. The techno room, the video games room, the hip-hop room, the hang-out room. \n\nSince I'm assuming you aren't going to drink, make some mocktails. A good site for recipes is http://www.healthunit.on.ca/mocktails/recipes.html. Pick about 5-10 of your favorites and make a menu to sit at your "bar". Have someone mixing drinks (an older sibling, a friend). Serve the drinks in cocktail glasses, tumblers and martini glasses. \n\nThe best place to get invitations are these sites http://www.birthdayinvitation.org/ http://www.classiccommunication.com/\nhttp://www.cardsshoppe.com/\nOR you can do your own invitation online at evite.com and e-mail it to everyone. That's what I would recommend. \n\nI think you sould serve pizza or something easy and fast. You can even go out a buy a bunch of frozen foods at your local warehouse store and cook them all up before the party. Don't pay for delivery, go out and buy frozen pizzas, or for even more fun, get all cheese frozen pizzas and have people garnish their own slices. Have peperoni, diced chicken, sausage, peppers, tomatoes, bacon ,and other things that you like on pizza. Make sure you have a cake, and have it iced bright white so it stands out under the lights. \n\nThe last thing you need is yourself. Don't let the party planning stress you out too much and just have a good time. It's all about you so make it really personalized. And have fun! You deserve it.

boy or girl, and what age?\n\nFor younger kids: hang up a white sheet, fill spray bottles with water and paint and let them spray the sheet a million colors.  Or just hang up butcher paper and let them paint a mural.  Have a treasure hunt: make up clues and have them work as a group to find the treasure.  Relay races, tag, and other outdoor games can be fun.  I might do better if you have a theme in mind.  What does your child like?  \n\nCheck familyfun.com and birthdaypartyideas.com for more ideas.

His and Hers snow caps, scarfs, and gloves!  As parents, adults etc. When it is you scrapping off the cars in the morning or getting the kids into the car etc.  There is nothing better.  If you have the extra change you can even get them embroiered at a local sewing shop.  Check the Yellow Pages for seamstresses.  When  you call ask if they do embroiery, how much per word or letter, and how quickly they can have it done.  It would be a nice touch and shouldn't cost too much per letter.  In fact you could just get their initials! \n\n\nFor the Party, Why not try hot dogs for the main course instead of just the nachos.  Or you can get some: \nSmall cocktail franks and barbecue sauce.  Pour all contents into a crock pot and allow to simmer for about 2 hours b4 you serve.  \nThen serve chips and dip (Nachos would be good) \nFresh fruit with sweet chocolate dip.  \nHot Cocoa or Fruit Punch\nThese are tested on my kids and are inexpensive ways to feed several kids in a party type atmosphere.  They are also really good and good for them, (I know, boring mom stuff).  \nThe cupcakes sound like a really good idea!  There is a way to put a firework design on the tops in icing.  So that when you hand them out it will look nice and festive!  \n\nSounds like you have a good grasp at the age of 16 of what is truly important.  \nHope This Helps!\nAmy

I know this is going to sound wierd, my own daughter told me so when I mentioned it to her for her party, and since she's 12, she knows everything.\n\nThe theme should be up to you, but my advice for the presents is a package of disposable diapers. Lots of things can come of this.\n\nFirst, you and your friends take the diapers to a non profit facility for under advantaged mothers.\n\nYou're not a child anymore and I'm fairly confident that at your age you've been told plenty about unwanted or unexpected pregnancy and this would provide you and your friends to see first hand how things could turn out, and at the same time, give of yourselves.\n\nIt is after all your birthday. Get it, birth, babies, diapers...quack...quack...quack.  Plus, since this is a novel idea, perhaps the greatest happiness you will get from it, is that you actually thought about someone other than yourself on your special day.\n\nFinally, if a single person reads this and actually does it, someone will benefit.\n\nEither way, happy birthday in advance and hope you and your friends have great fun.

I love being home room mom , I am over my kids Christmas party also.  So far I have bought the biggest stockings I could find for there treat bags and I plan on making sure we fill them up. We want to try and have someone be Santa and have him give each child a present to open ( i am getting playdoh for everyone). We also let the kids draw names and let each kid  get who ever they draw a coloring book and crayons this way every one gets the same gift. We are going to have milk and cookies for snack . One of the games we are playing is you take Vaseline and rub a little bit around there mouth and then have them put ther face in a bowl of cotton balls and see who can get the biggest beard like Santa then as they come up we are going to take there picture so we can make frames to put them in as our craft and they will also have a special keepsake . These are just some of my ideas so far if you have some good ones and would like to share them Email me!!!!

I would start by asking the kids questions.\n\nHow many days are in a year?\n\nSo, if we have 80,000 people how could we estimate how many people will be at each party? At least 1 kid will be smart enough to tell you to divide it. Be sure that write it on the board as you go.\n\nWhen you come up with 219 then ask the kids if they really think that the birthdays will be divided equally. If that is true, then if there are 24 kids in your class... there should be 2 birthdays in each month. (Maybe as a starter for the lesson you could have some sort of birthday poster and could quickly write the names of the kids under each month that their birthday falls. You may have some months with 5 birthdays, and others with 1 or none). If they say that they think that the birthdays will be evenly then use your birthday chart and explain that their birthdays are random; that it does not work out to exactly 2 birthdays in each month.\n\nThen you can explain to them that with 80,000 people there are likely to be a few birthdays on more days than others. They will get it; especially when you use their own data to help explain it.\n\nIf time allows you could do another problem that is similar, but maybe using something like the day they got their first pet (I don't know; something...) anyway, because some people may have never had a pet you could ask if it is possible that some people never come to celebrate. Or maybe use vet patients for the problem because then we could assume that all patients would qualify.

I had a party for my daughter. First, I made a video from her photos from birth and rented a big screen TV.\nI invited people who had been important to her, like her teachers, dance teacher, Brownie leader, friends of hers and of mine who had known her over the years.\nI had another video made at the party, interviewing her firends about her.\nEveryone signed a huge card.\nWe had pop, juice, finger foods, and a huge cake.  We watched the video of my daughter, ate and visited, opened gifts, and had cake. Then we watched a reguar video I'd rented for her friends and the older people had a visit.\nIt was excellent.

Find something to make the birthday meaningful. Plant a tree on your special day. Volunteer some place where your help is needed. End a grudge. Adopt a pet. Start an exercise program. Sign up for a course. Perform a random act of kindness. Give to others, yourself, the earth, to make your birthday special.
