&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2493872910536735816" name="title1" style="color: #006699;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Pirate Party Invitations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have the time to make your own invitations, here are a few ideas to consider:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Send a message in a bottle! Thoroughly wash and dry old soda bottles. Write your party details on a slip of paper, roll it up, and slide it inside. Make sure the paper is rolled tightly and secured so it will easily slip out of the bottle once your guests receive it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSHnS2dbedFulJ3K4bB_qGmklTHqYPx6S1zVHKtJ9LZ2sdjML5d" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSHnS2dbedFulJ3K4bB_qGmklTHqYPx6S1zVHKtJ9LZ2sdjML5d" width="146" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQQzl7d5Ze8YAA7Dcj8_2Anf_3zZtdSedKWLom0kXXRGNSViWPX" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQQzl7d5Ze8YAA7Dcj8_2Anf_3zZtdSedKWLom0kXXRGNSViWPX" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make a treasure map invitation. Cut a jagged edge around a piece of brown construction paper to give the paper the illusion of being burned. Draw a crude map of your neighborhood on one side, with a dotted line leading from one edge of the paper to a big X, marking where your home would be. Write your party details on the opposite side of your map.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Punch a hole in the corner of a card-style invitation and attach it to a bag of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.birthdayinabox.com/party-supplies/productdetail.asp?prodsku=6648" style="color: #006699; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;Pirate gold nugget gum&lt;/a&gt;. Hand-deliver these to your guests.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cut the shape of a skull and crossbones out of black construction paper. Write your party details in gold pen.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Include creative wording for your party details, such as:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Come sail a ship on the Seven Seas,&lt;br /&gt;With Captain James and his crew!&lt;br /&gt;We’ll steal some gold and bury our treasure,&lt;br /&gt;Then relax with some grub and brew!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="guide-section" style="background-color: white; color: #5f5f5f; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;h2 style="color: #666666; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; margin: 6px 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;"&gt;

&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style="color: #666666; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; margin: 6px 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2493872910536735816" name="title2" style="color: #006699;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Pirate Party Decorations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To get your guests in the mood for buried treasure and sea battles, consider these options for decorations:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;As guests arrive, give them each a black bandana and eye patch to wear during the party. You can even dot on rough beards with face paint and clip gold hoop earrings to their ears.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcROyRMey3h5Dhr-URn86cAESNKNr_BECLNA4PutmQ_OgqMuFkN3" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcROyRMey3h5Dhr-URn86cAESNKNr_BECLNA4PutmQ_OgqMuFkN3" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcThS-Cs1AlP2-6tE5BFmDJzMwgTA54IHDRkutBMQYTEzCBkKHDZdQ" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcThS-Cs1AlP2-6tE5BFmDJzMwgTA54IHDRkutBMQYTEzCBkKHDZdQ" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make a treasure chest to place in one corner of the party area. Cover a large shoebox with brown construction paper and strips of gold foil. Fill it with shells, plastic necklaces, faux jewels, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.birthdayinabox.com/search/dir.asp?keyword=gold+coins" style="color: #006699; text-decoration: none;" target="blank"&gt;gold coins&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hang fishing nets from the walls and ceiling.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cover the tables in the party area with blue tablecloths. Sprinkle sand, seashells, and faux pearls on top.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make a skull and crossbones out of white construction paper and black markers, and hang it on one wall of the party area.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Balloons are a must at every party! Fill the party area with bunches of blue and black&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.birthdayinabox.com/party-supplies/dir.asp?acat_id=2&amp;amp;prodtype_id=10" style="color: #006699; text-decoration: none;" target="blank"&gt;balloons!&lt;/a&gt;Add&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.birthdayinabox.com/search/dir.asp?keyword=pirate+mylar" style="color: #006699; text-decoration: none;" target="blank"&gt;pirate-themed Mylar balloons&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to a few of the bunches.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Perch a stuffed parrot on a table, chair, or shelf in the party area.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2493872910536735816" name="title3" style="color: #006699;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Pirate Party Food Ideas&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get creative with your party food by serving theme-specific treats. For a Pirate Party, consider the following ideas:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A fun main dish to serve to your sea-faring travelers is chicken or turkey legs – without utensils! Let them eat like real pirates!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Place a few cranberries and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.birthdayinabox.com/search/dir.asp?keyword=pirate+candy" style="color: #006699; text-decoration: none;" target="blank"&gt;gold nugget candies&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the bottom of a clear plastic cup. Make blue Jell-o to pour into the cup. The end result will look like a bit of ocean and sunken treasures.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tint a bag of Chex cereal green with a little food coloring. Mix with goldfish crackers and call it “Swimming with the Fishes Snack”.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make “Sea Water” by coloring pitchers of apple juice with blue food coloring, and serve with shaped straws.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cook seashell-shaped pasta and spinach linguini and serve chilled with a little butter. Call it “Seaweed &amp;amp; Shells Pasta."&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Serve root beer in frosted mugs or&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.birthdayinabox.com/search/dir.asp?keyword=goblet" style="color: #006699; text-decoration: none;" target="blank"&gt;goblets.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make a simple pirate cake by baking a 9" x 13" cake and frosting it in grey frosting. With decorator icing, draw a treasure map, complete with a compass, a dotted line trail, and an X that marks the spot. Or, use our&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.birthdayinabox.com/party-supplies/productdetail.asp?prodsku=12551" style="color: #006699; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;pirate ship cake pan&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;instead!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Include a small treat or toy with your invites that fit the theme. For an ice cream party you could include a spoon, a packet of rainbow sprinkles or some ice cream flavored candy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Create a banana split or large ice cream sundae filled with toppings (or order one at a restaurant) and then take a photo. This photo can be the front of your invitation. On your computer you can use photo manipulation software to write "We All Scream for Ice Cream!" on top of the photo. Print out enough copies of the photo on cardstock paper and then print the party details on the back of each photo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Draw or use a computer illustration program to create a dessert menu. Along with food and ice cream you will be serving, the menu can feature the date and time of the party. Print out enough copies for your guests and mail with a plastic spoon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Cut the shape of an ice cream cone out of construction paper. Glue a large round picture of your child on the top of the cone. Now add a red construction paper cherry on top of the photo. Write the party details on the cone. If you'd like, you can include a cute rhyme on the card such as:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Who screams? Alex screams!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We'll all scream for ice cream!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So grab a scoop and loosen your belts,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then celebrate fast before the day melts!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Make your party room look like a 50s ice cream parlor. Decorate with bar stools, small tables and chairs for all your guests. Play music from the 50s and 60s in the background. Serve food diner style and ask an adult to take orders at each table. You can even print small menus that list the food choices and the name of your ice cream parlor!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Create a mini ice cream truck by placing a cooler on top of a wagon. Inside the cooler you can place a lot of ice and novelty ice cream bars. Write all the ice cream selections on tag board and tape it to the front of the wagon. Give your guests fake money that they can use to "purchase" their ice cream treat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Use popular ice cream flavors as an inspiration for your balloon and streamer colors such as pastel orange, mint green, chocolate brown and light yellow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Tie balloons to metal ice cream scoops.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Create a banner that reads "I Scream for Ice Cream!" Use long craft paper, markers and ice cream stickers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Serve snacks in banana split boats or ice cream dishes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Create ice cream cone balloons!

Attach the balloons to balloon weights with curling ribbon. Cut out a paper cone from brown construction paper and wrap it around the ribbon and base of the balloon to create an ice cream cone. Tape the cone along the side and to the bottom of the balloon. Make sure not to use too much construction paper so as not to pull down the balloons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

Surround the hot dog slices with ketchup, mustard and relish or with chili or macaroni and cheese.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Use an ice cream shaped cookie cutter to make small shaped sandwiches. You can serve peanut butter and jelly or lunch meat on whole grain bread.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Serve veggies in ice cream sundae dishes or banana boats.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Ice Cream Cake Recipe&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are directions for making an easy and delicious ice cream cake. For this recipe you will need a box of cake mix, a tub of whipped cream, a box of crumbled Oreo cookies and a carton of ice cream that comes in a rectangular container.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;First, bake two 9" x 13" cakes with your favorite cake mix.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Let the cakes cool.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Remove the ice cream completely from the tub.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Slice the ice cream in half horizontally using fishing line or thread. Then, place the ice cream side by side on top of one layer of cake.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS3a--P1yIDzBtUM3K6OeZOEGOVA32WQnW6A6n4GXMsgJi9_ye1" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS3a--P1yIDzBtUM3K6OeZOEGOVA32WQnW6A6n4GXMsgJi9_ye1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookie crumbs on top of the ice cream. Press down lightly on the crumbs so they go into the ice cream a bit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Carefully place the other layer of cake on top of the layer of cookie crumbs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Trim the cake so that it's the same size as the ice cream.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Freeze the cake until it is very firm.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Before serving, frost the cake with whipped cream and decorate as you choose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Ask guests to bring their favorite toy for show and tell!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Include a gold coin in every invite and say they are for the Planet Pizza arcade!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;If you make your own invitations, include a cute rhyme! Of course, you can use the one below.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

Here are some other ideas to inspire you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Hang paper airplanes from the ceiling with fishing line so the planes look like they're flying.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Have Toy Story movies playing in the background on a low volume.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Place a cowboy hat at each place setting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Decorate the party table with green plastic army men.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Use Toy Story action figures as balloon weights. You can give these out as prizes too!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Provide each child a pair of 3D glasses if you're using our&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.birthdayinabox.com/party-themes/boxbuilder.asp?dept_id=480" style="color: #006699; text-decoration: none;" target="blank"&gt;Toy Story 3 party supplies&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Use a Buzz Lightyear or Woody pillowcase as a chair cover for the birthday child.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Decorate in lime green, blue, white and red for a Buzz Lightyear party or red, gold, cow pattern, and denim for a Woody party.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Have the birthday child or adults dress as characters from the movie (Buzz, Woody, Jessie, army man, Ken, or Barbie)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Set up the room like Pizza Planet and offer arcade games like skee ball, electronic basketball, bowling, foosball, plastic darts or air hockey for the kids to play. Hand out gold coins to use as game tokens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="" name="title3" style="color: #006699;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Toy Story Party Food&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Easily incorporate Pizza Planet into your Toy Story party by ordering or making pizza for your guests. Another option is to have a cowboy barbecue with Woody over a campfire with hotdogs and marshmallows. Here are some other Toy Story food ideas for snacks and dessert.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Space ice cream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Mr. Potato Head Rice Krispies® Treats. (Use Cocoa Krispies® cereal in the batter. Form into flat oval shapes then add marshmallow eyes. Use gum drop for ears, feet and hands. Add a mustache with icing!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Toy story snacks (crackers, cookies, fruit snacks) may be available in grocery stores&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Star-shaped&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.birthdayinabox.com/party-ideas/guidesdetails.asp?aseq=247" style="color: #006699; text-decoration: none;" target="blank"&gt;sugar cookies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.birthdayinabox.com/party-ideas/guidesdetails.asp?aseq=1365" style="color: #006699; text-decoration: none;" target="blank"&gt;Martian-Mallows&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(white chocolate covered marshmallows)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

Birthdays, holidays, meeting the kids from school, or even just great weather are all reason enough for me. I enjoy the party prep and I have fun seeing their anticipation as the big day approaches, but their happiness at the event itself is my biggest payoff.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
Sometimes after parties, parents will ask how I pulled it all together, and as their own child's special day comes closer, I've gotten phone calls and emails asking for suggestions or asked to lend I hand. I'm always flattered, and since putting together celebrations is something I enjoy, I am happy to help.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
I don't want to say my parties are the pinnacle of perfection; the people from Martha Stewart haven't tried to hire me to their staff, but here are my top 10 secrets to party success.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
10.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Start early&lt;/b&gt;. If you wait until a day or two before the party, suddenly the amount of work is overwhelming, and getting ready is not any fun because it is stressful. But if you start a week, or even 10 days early, you can spread it out, and just do one or two small tasks each day. Then the morning of the party, you can breathe and enjoy yourself, instead of turning into a frantic, cranky mother as you rush to string up the crepe paper.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
9.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Choose a theme&lt;/b&gt;. When I settle on a single thought I can direct my energies in one direction, and it is easier to think of games, decorations, party favors, cake designs, etc. It can also make remembering their day easier for them several months, or even years later. My seven year old can tell you what he did at his fourth birthday because he knows that they all tied into Disney characters. With no theme, parties may tend to run together in their minds. (Plus, it is cuter in the pictures! Everything matches!)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
8.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Let it be guided by your child's desires.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;It can be tempting to have the party&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;want (after all, you are the one doing the work) instead of the party&lt;i&gt;your child&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;wants. For example, I really wanted to do a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory birthday for one of my sons at his upcoming birthday. He thought it was a fun idea, but then told me that it would be better for his&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;next&lt;/i&gt;birthday, because this time he wants a Sesame Street party. Okay. It is, after all,&lt;i&gt;his&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;birthday.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
7.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Set a budget, and stick to it&lt;/b&gt;. Children's birthday parties should not break the bank. Treat bags should not cost an arm and a leg to fill. Decide a reasonable amount for you to spend, and work within it. If you get creative, make rather than purchase the decorations, borrow some things from your friends, (remember to happily lend your items in return when they come looking for help) and get to know your local dollar store, you really can put together a beautiful, fun, and memorable day for your kids.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
6.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Watch your numbers&lt;/b&gt;. A basic rule of thumb is to invite as many guests as they child's age. If they are turning seven, then a guest list of seven should be enough. There obviously has to be a little wiggle room here, to account for siblings etc, but a party of 15 three-year-olds is going to turn into a hectic zoo.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
5.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;If at all possible, try to hold at least some of the party outdoors&lt;/b&gt;. Loud, noisy children are easier to love where they aren't filling a room with their own voice. There is more room to play a physical activity in the yard then say, in your living room. Games are easier to clean up, the pictures turn out nicer, and you don't even have to mop up the icing from off your kitchen floor. Good reasons, all, to take it out back. (That being said, you should have a back-up plan in your head just in case you get an unseasonably rainy, windy, or cold day)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
4.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Write it down&lt;/b&gt;. Entertaining a group of kids for two or three hours takes a lot of planning and even a bit of strategy. You need mix up the quiet games with the loud games, with the crafts, with the snacks... The list of activities gets long fast, and if you write down all the things you want to do, and the order you want to do them, you won't miss something during the hustle and bustle of the party. I write it on a 3"x5" card and stick it in my back pocket. Whenever I need to know what is coming up, I just whip it out, and we stay on track.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
3.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Make and keep traditions.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;It is fun to have something that is always going to be at the parties you have. For our family, it is a pinata. We have pinatas at every birthday party we host. They aren't terribly difficult to make, you can fill them with whatever you want, and they are fun to smash. Granted, pinatas need a few days to make, but if you are starting early in your preparations, this isn't a problem. And if all else fails, you can grab one at a store for a little extra cash. If pinatas aren't your thing, fine, but find something that your kids love, and that you can see growing with them each year, and try to create a consistent element across all your parties.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
2.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Have enough help&lt;/b&gt;. On the day of the event, even if you have done all your prep and planning well, it is so much easier to pull it all off if you have an extra adult or two to help you out. While you are manning the craft, your husband, sister, mother-in-law, etc can be getting the materials for the next game ready. While you are taking pictures of the birthday boy with his cake, they can be getting the garbage bag ready for the napkins, paper plates, and plastic forks that will soon need to be disposed of. Things run so much more smoothly, and it lets you live in the moment a little more.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;
1.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Relax.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Remember that parties are supposed to be fun, happy things. If you are getting too wound up trying to make the perfect cake, design cute little decorations, or worrying that your daughter's hair stays in perfect ringlets, you are missing the whole point. Take a deep breath, and remember that those little details in the end, aren't what the kids will take away from this. They are going to remember the way their party made them feel like the most important person in the world, and that is what we are aiming for.&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://thebirthdaypartyblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/10-tips-to-successful-party.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493872910536735816.post-7023661256605288362</guid><pubDate>Mon, 18 Jun 2012 23:55:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-06-19T07:55:00.213+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">1st birthday</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">2nd birthday</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">birthday party task</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">boy birthday</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">girl's birthday</category><title>Elmo birthday party</title><description>&lt;b style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;What You Need&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

There are plenty of ways to keep kids occupied for a few hours while sticking to the theme:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="krtText" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
Bake a batch of sugar cookies ahead of time with a variety of transportation-themed cookie cutters&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Then let party guests frost the treats and decorate them with sprinkles or colored sugar. If you make extras, kids can take the leftovers home in treat bags.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="krtText" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;"&gt;

Collect boxes from your local supermarket so party guests can make their own cars to ride around in. We love this box cars tutorial from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://simplymodernmom.com/" style="border: 0px; color: #1b3357; font-family: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;SimplyModernMom.com&lt;/a&gt;. The instructions call for easy-to-score supplies like cardboard boxes, paper plates, crayons and markers. (As Tiffany notes in her post, don’t allow children to handle the knife or scissors — that’s a job for adults.)&lt;/div&gt;

What’s a good game to get wiggly, wild little bodies moving? How about a classic game of Red Light/Green Light?&lt;/div&gt;

If you want, hand out child-size Construction Hats for the kids to collect their candy in and take home as a party favor.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

Once it’s over, make sure you and your child thank the guests. Get a set of eight Construction Trucks Thank You Notes.&amp;nbsp;If your kid is not old enough to write the cards or his name, at least have him help color or decorate the notes so he gets the idea of being a gracious host.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;"&gt;Here a just a few tips to help plan the best beach party ever:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
1. When planning a beach party you must first choose the who, what, when, where. In this case since it is a beach party you want to pick out a nice beach that is family oriented and the best in town meaning no fighting seaweed, and no walking on rocks.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
2. After you choose the who, what, when, and where it's time for invitations. Since this is a beach party I would say choose a beach themed invitation.&amp;nbsp;look into various ways to make do it yourself invitations for beach parties.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
3. After invitations are signed, sealed, and delivered its now time to pick out your decorations. Again party city is a great place to find the decorations you're looking for. Balloons, poppers, and streamers are just a few of my favorites for a beach themed party. For a more simple do it yourself decorations purchase various rolls of colored tissue paper and you can twist and braid them yourself to give your party the look you desire.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;"&gt;

4. As far as food goes I suggest a nice beach barbeque. Hot dogs, Hamburgers, chips, and a fruit salad are ideal for a beach party and easy. If you so choose you can either bake a cake or buy a cake at your local grocery store. Finger foods can also work perfectly. Chicken Tenders, Finger Sandwiches, Pig in the blankets, or Chicken wings are also easy picks for the beach.&lt;/div&gt;
