I miss buying party decorations |
| 8/26/2009 3:31:47 PM |
 It's been far too long since I planned a big party, the kind where someone had to go out and buy party decorations for it. In my early 20s, I was part of a singles group through church and was on the social planning committee. There were plenty of times where I had to run around gathering and buying, party decorations.
Despite all the running around though, getting... Read More |

Adult Birthday Themes Are Popular in my Family |
| 8/26/2009 3:10:04 PM |
It is funny how birthday themes can somehow never get old! For my family, we are always using different kinds of birthday themes for our relatives, and immediate family members. The last time we used birthday themes was not that long ago at all. My older brother David (I have four brothers of all ages) was pushing thirty years old and was a bit melancholy about it. Seeing...

Birthday themes for my older children. |
| 8/26/2009 2:05:08 PM |
Now that my children are getting a bit older, they don't want birthday themes that are childish. They still like the idea of a theme, but a more grown-up teenage kind of birthday theme. My daughter had a Hawaiian luau theme last year and she thought it was so great! We had the lei's and grass skirts, pineapple and palm tree birthday party decorations, and Hawaiian theme... Read More

Buying birthday party supplies for adults. |
| 8/26/2009 1:50:30 PM |
I have given a few birthday parties to adults in my life that I care about, like my mom when she turned sixty. I planned the party, invited everyone and bought all the birthday party supplies. I decided to think about birthday party themes, and decided on a game theme. The table cloth I bought for birthday party supplies was a Twister game mat. We hung playing cards... Read More

Birthday Themes
Birthdays are wonderful and special and birthday themes are a great way to celebrate. There are many milestone birthdays but a little grandchild turning 6 is a milestone as well. One of my favorite memories is taking my granddaughter to see a local musical version of Alice in Wonderland. She loved it and asked if she could be like Alice. Her birthday was... Read More |

Party Decorations
My friend and I went camping last month. My birthday happened to be during the days we were camping. I knew it meant that I won’t be celebrating my birthday, but I didn’t mind. On the morning of my birthday I woke up to see birthday party decorations hanging in my tent. I was so surprised. My friend then shouted “ Surprise, Happy Birthday”. She had a tiny... Read More |

Party decorations for anniversaries. |
| 8/26/2009 6:45:28 AM |
My parents celebrated their 40th annivesary two years ago and I gave them an anniversary party. Since forty is the Ruby anniversary, all the party decorations were in red hearts. I even made their cake, which was two heart shaped cakes joined together, with red frosting. My mom's favorite color is red, which made the party decorations that much better! I had heart...

Making birthday party favors gift bags. |
| 8/26/2009 5:21:42 AM |
When I have parties for my kids, I always make birthday party favors gift bags. I buy supplies to make the birthday party favors gift bags and make them myself in whatever theme I'm doing. The bag will have birthday party favors, candies, little toys and things like that inside of them. I try to keep it in the theme of the party, for example if I'm doing a Barbie theme,... Read More

Birthday party supplies on a budget. |
| 8/25/2009 8:04:10 PM |
I have five kids, so there is a definite budget in place. For birthdays I always do a theme even if it's not "all out." I have ways of finding birthday party supplies for less money. Shopping online is one way to keep on a budget and still have a nice set of birthday party supplies. When there are several people at my house for a party, I like to use... Read More

I love buying birthday party decorations. |
| 8/25/2009 7:51:13 PM |
Every time one of my kids birthdays rolls around, I get excited while shopping for birthday party decorations. I always do a birthday theme, so the birthday party decorations have to match and go along with my theme. I have such fun shopping for birthday party decorations and picking out coordinating plates, cups, and things. It's always a challenge as they get older... Read More

I always do birthday themes for my kids' parties. |
| 8/25/2009 7:41:53 PM |
Ever since my first child's first birthday, I have done a birthday theme for each one of them. I have done sports birthday themes, princess birthday themes and everything in between. One year my son had a baseball birthday theme, and I made baseball cap cupcakes. They were so amazing! I loved how they turned out, and all the decorations were baseball related. Another... Read More

Some people say that the best part of birthdays is buying gifts, but I think the most fun part of birthdays is coming up with fun birthday ideas. Just a couple of months ago one of my friends was celebrating her son’s fifth birthday and she asked me to help her come up with fun birthday ideas. Just coming up with cool ideas started to make me feel like a kid all over... Read More |

My sister has had some good birthday themes for her kids |
| 8/17/2009 1:51:24 PM |

One year my sister had what I thought was a really cool birthday idea for her one son's birthday party. She always has both a kids party and an adult party. For the kids party she usually does a theme of some kind, although with the kids getting older, I don't know how much longer the birthday themes will continue. For the adult party, the theme isn't carried out as far... Read More |
