Your child's birthday party is coming up, but you don't quite know what to do. You've seen your friends throw the traditional parties with pirates and princesses and superheroes, but you want to do something different. Time is running out and you have to get the invitations in the mail quick. What are you going to do???
Here are a few ideas that may help. They are very economical and they don't take a lot of time to prepare.
1. Arabian Nights. Think of magic lamps, exotic fabrics, flying carpets, mint tea and Moroccan rice. Add Jasmine and Aladdin and you're in a whole new world!
2. Craft Party. Set up materials and have your guests make jewelry, ornaments, or hair bands.
3. 1980s Dance Party. Bring back the big hair and dance to Michael Jackson all day.
4. Hurray for Hollywood! The kids can dress like movie stars and enjoy theme decorations complete with Oscar statues and a red carpet.
5. Picnic Party. Instead of having a traditional sit down meal, spread blankets on the grass and have a picnic!
6. Backwards Party. Do everything backwards. Have the cake first, then the meal. Everyone can walk backwards, and even wear their clothes backwards.
7. Make Your Own Food Party. Everyone can make their own pizza or sandwiches. They can even decorate their own cupcakes or cookies.
8. Campfire Party. Roast weenies and marshmallows in the back yard. You can even make Smores and tell campfire stories.
9. Your Favorite Painting. Come dressed as your favorite painting! Mona Lisa? Little Boy Blue? Sunflowers? You can even add painting as a fun activity. The kids can try to paint themselves, perhaps?
