If the child is old enough, let your child choose the theme of the birthday party and be actively involved in the planning stages of the event. After all, it is the "child's" birthday and the "child's" party. While planning a birthday party can be a bit time consuming and challenging, all the work will be worth it when you see how much fun everyone has. Think of labor pains and how you forget them once you've laid eyes on your new baby. Well, certainly party planning is not to "that" degree! Think about having a Birthday Treasure Hunt. You'll need your video camera for this one. It is a one-of-a-kind, birthday party movie making adventure that starts your birthday child and all their guests in a simple but extremely fun mini-movie they will be talking about for a long time to come. Be creative with what you will use for "treasures" and where you will hide them.For girls, think about having a tea party. Simple tea party etiquette tips and guidelines will help make your child's birthday tea party a great success and one they will remember fondly for years to come. You might want to make an etiquette guideline list and send it along with your invitations, informing your guests that you will be following this list of tea party etiquette guidelines. Be creative! Make it FUN!How would you like your house full of party guests to be kept busy with quiet games and activities during the last half hour of your child's party? If you plan on making a birthday party craft with the guests, make sure you create a prototype, for the guests to see and for you to gauge the difficulty level of the craft before the birthday party begins. A favorite Disney character party theme is a great, fun idea. Think about sending someone right to your door, in costume, representing this character! Share the "secret" with those you invite. This tells the person your inviting that your party is really going to be special and exciting. Ever think about having a “circus stunts" party? The party goers could do the stunts, which could be anything from diving through hula hoops to attempting to juggle rubber balls. Another consideration would be themed party packages, which have everything included from the birthday invitations to the activities and games. The supplies for just about any birthday party theme including plates, cups, napkins, table covers, utensils, centerpieces, decorations, balloons, party favors, loot bags, activities, games, pinatas, crafts and much more are also included in these themed party packages. Rather than traveling all over town to find a theme package simply do a quick internet search and navigate to a web site dedicated to birthday party supplies packages. If old enough, don't forget to get your little superhero involved in this internet search. Remember, it's "their" special day!More ideas on this fun, special occasion can be found at:http://www.birthday-party-secrets.comBe creative, have some fun because you're going to see a lot of smiles and happy faces when that special day arrives.

First of all, the 1960's produced some excellent music that makes the perfect backdrop for your tie dying and other activities. You do not need to limit your artistic flair to shirts in this instance however, be sure to have plenty of paper, paint, pens, pencils, and crayons around to keep the artistic bent up and running throughout the entire party. If you have a swimming pool it might be a good idea to let everyone play in the pool while the shirts are setting or pursue some other sort of fun activity in the meantime such as a movie or another craft project.
This is the type of party that is not only a great deal of fun for you as the parent but also for all the kids that are invited. Everyone gets to take a little something cool home with them and they get to work with their hands and imaginations to create something special that is all their own. As far as parties go, this is one of the coolest to have, especially for those hard to impress and please teenagers that seem to take over our beautiful little babies after about 13 years though it is suitable for younger kids as well.
Bring the barbecue to the birthday party
You can go the Cowboy way when it comes to a birthday party barbecue and throw a shindig that would make old "W" proud. Texas sized ribs, hamburgers, steaks, hot dogs, and country music for all. Be sure to wear your cowboy boots and have gingham table clothes for this event that should be a family friendly way to go. Don't forget to bring all the "fixin's" or ask the guests to pitch in their best dishes in true southern tradition. This is a great way to go for those with big families that want nothing more than an excuse to celebrate their lives together.
You could also go the humorous route for your big day and go the redneck barbecue birthday party route. You will want to use cheap paper plates, cheap plastic furniture, a metal tub filled with ice and RC Cola (r), plastic forks and knives (the Sunday best of course), and typical redneck food such as pigs in blanket, gumbo, fried chicken, and potato salad. This can be a really fun party if all the guests get into the festivities and dress and act the part. It is definitely a barbecue that will be remembered, and talked about.
Camping birthday party ideas
A military camping birthday party is a great camping party idea. Right now boys need good solid heroes and the military is a great place to find them. If you have friends or family that are serving over seas this might be a great way to help your little guy bring them closer to home for an evening and could be the best birthday memory he'll ever have. Set up pup tents, visit your local military supply or surplus store for MREs (meals ready to eat), have everyone wearing their favorite camouflage, and have an army green face painting contest before bed time.
A safari camping theme is another great theme for a terrific camping birthday party. Begin by having everyone dress appropriately for a day underneath the hot African sun, khakis, and an appropriate hat work well. Create a safari pack (goody bag) for all the kids including really chip binoculars, a net for catching stray bugs (really great for lightening bugs at night), safari themed stickers, and a picture frame that is worthy of a fearless safari adventurer (you'll definitely want to send them home with photos of their safari attire). Set up camp for the evening and serve animal crackers for dessert. You can populate the tent with stuffed animals of favorite safari animals and supplement the adventure with a trip to the zoo for even grander effect and more fun.
