activities Tip #21

For Star Wars fans, have a Star Wars themed party with someone dressed as a wookie. Give out light sabers to the guests. Let the guests choose sides, the dark side vs the jedis and let them duel with their sabers. (Remove all breakables from the room first)

activities Tip #22

For a very private party for a kid, let the birthday child bring along his or her best friend for a fun day out. Really indulge the kids in movies, ice cream, the game arcade and shopping for a gift each for the birthday child and his or her best pal (state your budget before you even walk into the shop and make it known to the kids that you would not go a cent above that).
