Planning Your Child's Outdoor Birthday Party

By Mark M Hammersley

Are you planning an outdoor birthday party for your child? Your backyard may be an excellent option for your child's birthday celebration. However, this type of party will take some planning if you are going to ensure all of the fun and excitement your little one deserves. Your planning will involve everything from food for outdoor dining, to party favors and games.

Luckily, we have the best party planning tips around and can help you make the celebration a complete success.

Tips For Planning An Outdoor Birthday Party

The outdoors and children just seem to go together. They love running wild in the yard, soaking in the sun, and exploring their own little piece of the world. So, planning an outdoor birthday party is an excellent idea. Before you begin your party planning though, consider these tips.

• Don't be afraid to limit your guest list. Consider how big of a yard you have, how many decorations, food, and gifts are going to cost, and the amount of time you can set aside for the party. However, even with limitation to the guest list, always plan for one or two additional guests. You never know who forgot to send in their RSVP card, which of your cousins may show up at the last minute for a surprise visit, or whose brother tags along.

• Always have a back up plan in case of rain. One of the most frustrating parts of outdoor fun is how quickly a little bit of rain can ruin it all. Keep a close eye on the weather channel and have a plan B in mind.

• Prepare the food before the party. The day of the party will probably be hectic. You will be decorating, wrapping presents, and dealing with an overly excited child who can't believe that he has to wait to celebrate his birthday. Prepare all of the food you can beforehand to save a little time and a lot of stress.

• Plan for hot or chilly weather. Whatever time of year your party is, be mindful of how the temperatures will affect the children attending the party. If it is hot out, make sure to provide a cool place to rest and plenty of beverages. Always be ready with the sun screen, and make sure children are wearing jackets if the temperatures are low.

• Plan for seating and potential food disasters. Make sure to arrange your outdoor dining area so there is plenty of seating for both the children and adults. Make sure you are using the correct type of furniture as well. An outdoor dining table made of synthetic rattan will be much more resistant to the whims of a hyper child with a plate of ice cream and cake. Even if you are left with a mess at the end of the party, one spray from the hose should take care of it.

• Don't limit the party to the afternoon. More and more these days, children's birthday parties are limited to a few hours in the afternoon with just a cake and ice cream. How boring is that? Be different and exciting. Create a theme for the party and have everyone dress up according to the theme. Hold an outdoor dining event that reflects the theme of the party. For instance, if you choose a space themed party, the children could dress up as astronauts or aliens. They could eat rocket-ship-shaped cookies and alien slime (lime green Jello). Or you could plan a sleepover and allow the children to catch lightning bugs once the sun goes down. You could also use your outdoor fireplace to make s'mores. Pitch a tent in the backyard and allow the little ones to stay up telling ghost stories and sleep under the stars.

When you are planning your child's outdoor birthday party, it is important for you to consider your outdoor dining arrangements, the food you will be preparing, the weather, and the kind of party you are going to have. Have fun with your plans and make this party one your child will remember.

Cinco De Mayo Party Ideas

noreply@blogger.com (Party Buzz Bee) — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:30:00 +0000

Editor's note: In this article, you will find unique ideas for your Cinco de Mayo party! I hope it will be useful to help with planning your festivities. Thanks for reading!

Cinco De Mayo Party Ideas

Article Written By: Christine Szalay Kudra

Every May 5th, people all over the US and elsewhere in the world mark Cinco de Mayo, a holiday which commemorates the victory of the Mexican army under the command of General Zaragoza over a much larger group of French soldiers in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Curiously enough, even though the holiday is widely celebrated in the United States, it is largely ignored in Mexico, being seen as a mostly regional holiday which is marked in the state of Puebla and in Mexico City.

However, Americans have enthusiastically adopted this holiday as their own and Cinco de Mayo parties are an incredibly popular way to celebrate this day. Whether you've never hosted a Cinco de Mayo party before or if you've been holding parties every May 5th for years, you may be looking for some great party ideas to make this an especially festive fiesta.

Decorations are part of any party, with themes incorporating the colors of the Mexican flag (red, white and green) being common. Red, green and white crepe paper and streamers are one easy way to dress up your home or anywhere else you'll hold your event for Cinco de Mayo. Other decorations you may want to consider include pinatas, which can also double as a party game for your guests.

You may also be in search of some culinary Cinco de Mayo party ideas; and here, you're really in luck. Mexican food is becoming more popular in the US every year and there are Mexican groceries in a growing number of US cities, which makes it relatively easy to buy all of the ingredients you need to prepare authentic Mexican recipes and find Mexican food and beverages to serve to the attendees at your Cinco de Mayo party.

Instead of just serving chips and salsa, you now have a great many different options to choose from. You could try preparing a refreshing nopales salad, a dish featuring mole Poblano sauce (an especially good choice since this sauce originates in the Mexican state of Puebla) or other Mexican dishes which are miles away from the fast food tacos and burritos which many people are familiar with.

Party favors are something which are guaranteed to add a festive air to your holiday party. Toy maracas, inexpensive costume sombreros and small potted cactus plants are all ideas which your guests will enjoy, make great decorations for your party and won't break the bank.

Decorations, food, music and party favors with a south of the border theme are all good ways to make your Cinco de Mayo party an unforgettable event - but no matter what Cinco de Mayo party ideas you decide to go with, you'll have a great Cinco de Mayo as long as you remember to have a good time and salute our neighbor Mexico on this day.

Perhaps you enjoy making easy Mexican food, in which case a simple Mexican food recipe like layer salad with plenty of salsa, guacamole, corn, tortilla chips and more could make a fantastic lunch or dinner and is just one of the many Cinco de Mayo recipes for your family to try.

How To Plan A Birthday Party

noreply@blogger.com (Party Buzz Bee) — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:30:00 +0000

Article written by: Jane E Bricks

Systematic planning is very important especially if you want to organize a memorable birthday party or any other events. Having an organized plan is a great help if you want your friends to experience an extra ordinary birthday party that they will not forget. When it comes to planning a birthday party for a family member or close friend, you must know the preferences of the birthday celebrant. This is similar to finding the perfect gift that will make the birthday celebrant happy. Not all people who are celebrating their birthday will love the fact that they are turning a year older. Therefore, it is best to know how he or she wants to handle this milestone. In some cases, these people may feel happy about turning 40, while others prefer to remember they are still young.

When it comes to selecting a birthday gift, one great idea is buying gag gifts that can make the person laugh. If the birthday star can take a good ribbing, then you may buy a birthday present that brings fun and joke about the fact that he is getting older. You may look for "Over the Hill" gift basket that contains colorful candy pills, special soap and anti-aging spray. You may also add deodorant and humorous books, with note like "You Know You're Old When..."

Moreover, if the birthday star is a more serious type of person, you may look for a meaningful gift without spending too much. You may purchase a photo album and put some of the great pictures of the celebrant during his childhood, teenage years, and adulthood. If you want to add a more personal touch, you may look for a copy of the newspaper from the day he or she was born.

How To Organize A Birthday Party?

For people who do not want to go all out on their special day, you may organize a simple birthday celebration. These people prefer to celebrate their special time with the people they love instead of having a large event with numerous people. Create an invitation with the photo of the birthday celebrant. Make a PowerPoint presentation that will show the documentation of the person's life. Put some photos, share stories and great memories. On the other hand, if the celebrant loves to enjoy a large event, think of a birthday theme based on the taste of the birthday star.

Throw a Mexican Fiesta for Cinco de Mayo!

noreply@blogger.com (Party Buzz Bee) — Tue, 03 May 2011 14:00:00 +0000

Throw a Mexican Fiesta!
Article written by: Pollux Parker

Are you thinking of throwing an authentic Mexican fiesta and are unsure where to start? The trick to making your guests feel like they're really in a party in Mexico is to decorate the place with vibrant colors, have Mexican games, play the country's music, and serve the native delicacies. Below are some of the tips on how to have a great Mexican fiesta:

• Decorate your place with balloons and streamers using the colors of the Mexican flag -- red, white, and green.

• Use plants and flowers indigenous to Mexico like dahlias, poinsettias, and plumerias to add color.

• Adorn the walls with Mexican shawls called serapes. You can also use these as table runners.

• Add other Mexican accessories like sombreros, terra-cotta pots, and steer skull to showcase the country's culture.

• Prepare a playlist of Latin-American or Mexican music like salsa or samba, and inspire people to dance by hiring your own mariachi band. Make sure there's enough space for dancing!

• Serve Mexican food like burritos, chimichangas, churros, and tacos. You can also have fried ice cream for desert. Have chips and salsa for appetizer. You can also experiment with chilis and enchiladas as your main dish.

• Stock the bar with Mexican drinks such as margaritas, tequila, and Corona. You can also serve Mexican soda and Aqua Frescos.

• Get a piñata and fill it with coins, candy, and other miniature prizes. During the party, blindfold your guests and have them take turns in cracking the piñata. This will surely make your Mexican party truly enjoyable.

8 Delicious Mexican Fiesta Birthday Party Menu Ideas
Article written by: Sarita Haines

Mexican food is always a crowd pleaser. Serving Mexican food and drinks at a Mexico-themed birthday party will make the celebration even more memorable. This list of savory Mexican foods features simple, party-friendly eats. While some originated in Mexico, others transform traditional American dishes into south-of-the-border favorites. Many of these dishes can be made in advance, giving you more time to enjoy your margarita.
1. Chips and Dips. Corn tortilla chips alongside guacamole, salsa and bean dip are a must for any Mexican food party table. Also popular is chile con queso, a spicy, hot cheese dip.

2. Mini Tacos. Seek out small, soft corn tortillas. Fillings can include beans, cheese, fish or meats. You can pre-make the tacos or set up a taco bar where guests can make their own.

3. Chile Cheese Tarts. 1-inch pre-made appetizer pastry shells are the best thing that's happened to parties since the wine charm phenomenon. You can fill these bite-sized cups with any filling you can think of, savory or sweet. We suggest a combination of fresh green chiles and cheese. Depending on guests' preferences, you may adjust the heat accordingly.

4. Agua Fria. This refreshing drink can be made from almost any blended fruit. First, liquefy a fruit such as watermelon in the blender. Strain the mixture to eliminate seeds. Serve with a mint leaf garnish if you like.

5. Sliders Mexican Style. Try a spicy take on the slider phenomenon by adding salsa, cornmeal and pepper jack cheese to these much-loved miniature burgers.

6. Quesadillas. Tuck spinach and mushrooms with cheddar cheese between two flour tortillas and saute until brown. You can use smaller-sized tortillas for individual portions. If you're using 10-inch or larger tortillas, you may slice the quesadilla into smaller servings once cooked.

7. Chile Spiced Nuts. You'll find these spiced nuts on many bars throughout Mexico. Roast shelled, unsalted, blanched peanuts in vegetable oil in a skillet. When cool, mix in chile powder. You can add as much or as little as you like depending on your tolerance for heat. Salt nuts to taste and garnish with lime wedges. They can be stored for weeks in an airtight container.

8. Flan. This steamed caramel custard dessert has a creamy texture and is easy to make in advance. It can be served cold or at room temperature in small, individual-sized ramekins.

Celebrate St Patrick's Day With A New Tradition!

noreply@blogger.com (Party Buzz Bee) — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 12:00:00 +0000

Written by: Mel Otero
Leprechauns and shamrocks, pots of gold at the end of the rainbow and green beer are all symbols that bring to mind St. Patrick's Day. This wonderful day is for everyone and everyone becomes Irish! It is not a holy day and it does not mark any historically significant event, but it may well be the only day known for pure fun. There are parades, rivers of green, lots of green beer, Irish Whiskey Cake and everyone magically becomes Irish.

Wouldn't it be great to start a new St. Patrick's Day tradition? What can we do to enhance the fun and bring more smiles and joy to others? How about giving St. Patrick's Day surprise gifts to friends and family after the parade and the Irish lamb stew? The gifts should inspire fun and certainly do not need to be lavish. How about taking some decorated St. Patrick's Day cookies and green soda to a senior citizens center? Your time and the small investment in this gesture will leave seniors smiling with fond memories of a very special St. Patrick's Day. Get your friends and family involved in celebrating in a new way of giving. Motivate your friends and family with little gifts and encourage them to help you spread the fun and sharing. Take a St. Patrick's Day party to a children's shelter and watch eyes light up. With everyone pitching in, no one is overworked and the cost is small.

You can have your own celebration before or after sharing part of the day bringing smiles to others. The smiles and laughter you generate with this new tradition will have you and the recipients looking forward to next St. Patrick's Day and the second annual Gifting Party.
In a world that has been fraught with economic worries, war and fear of terrorists, it just may be that we all need this one day of pure fun and a new tradition that shares some of the fun with others on this new Gifting Party day also known as St. Patrick's Day.

Here are some easy Green Party Foods and lots of green recipes that will feed your family that are perfect for St Patty's Day.

Why not begin your kid's day with a Green Breakfast?
Green Pancakes are simple to make...use your normal recipe, but add a few drops of green food coloring. Don't like pancakes? How about some Kiwi fruit or cantaloupe to start off your day then. They are both tasty, nutritious and green! Is your family more of an egg breakfast family? Well, you've heard of Green Eggs and Ham, haven't you? Make your eggs with a couple drops of the good old green, food coloring that is. Prepare them as you normally would...scrambled, fried, over easy or sunny side up. There is another green egg idea for you...the Salsa Verde Omelet. Salsa Verde is green salsa! Prepare your omelet as usual and add some Salsa Verde, it will be the best Irish Mexican Omelet you ever had! Then for the family that is in a rush...how about some green cream cheese on a bagel?

Green Lunch Ideas
Get yourself a large salad...can't get much greener than that! There is always pasta with pesto sauce for those of you who like a heavier lunch. And last, but not least, how about a bowl of Pea Soup?

Irish Dinner Ideas
The first dish on the list is not one of the green food ideas. Of course, it's Corned Beef and Cabbage with some boiled potatoes. Delicious! You can eat it as a dinner or make sandwiches on rye bread with mustard. This is also a good party menu idea. Don't really like Corned Beef? Well then get out the pasta and pesto sauce, this is good for lunch or dinner.

What About Green Party Food?
Make a dip out of guacamole and Salsa Verde... all you have to do is add some chips! You can also mix the Salsa Verde with cream cheese for a delicious dip. Get out the food coloring again...you are going to need it for the green icing on your green cupcakes! If you like pistachio, add some pistachio pudding mix to your frosting and put that on your cake or cupcakes. Top them with a Shamrock pick!

Green Drink Ideas
Now you need a green drink... Limeade is sure to be green enough. It's usually found in the freezer section of your food store. Mix equal amounts of Limeaid and Ginger Ale or 7 Up in a punch bowl. Scoop some Lime Sherbet into it and your Patty's Party Punch is ready to go. Then finally, there is always green beer...which requires some greener food coloring!
Now that you really know how to get your green on...on the table, that is, go to get your green clothes out, your "Kiss Me I'm Irish Button" and you will be all set for a fun St Patrick's Day!
