November 7, 2008, Newsletter Issue #241: Planning Successful Birthday Parties For Your Teen

Tip of the Week

If you’re brave enough, you may be willing to throw your kid or pre-teen's birthday party at your home. This can sometimes be more cost effective and even more fun for your guests. Outdoor parties will save your home from too much damage, but you have to have a back-up plan in case the weather isn’t pleasant. Consider planning a scavenger hunt in your neighborhood for your child or pre-teen's birthday parties. Create a few teams and give them a list of things to find within a few blocks of your house. Be sure to hand out prizes at the end to each team. Or try a camping theme where the kids sleep outside in the back yard and take part in activities like flashlight tag. If you need more help planning birthday parties for your teen, check out the Celebrate Express Website. They have an entire section on party planning that will help you get ideas on everything from themes and games to cake recipes and decorating ideas. If you want to send invitations for birthday parties online, you can do that through their electronic invitations.
