I am not an expert in children or teen parties. There are hundreds of sites that specialize in that information if you google "kids parties" you will find an amazing amount of bright ideas. We do have a page on our site that leads to al the different kid's party themes, however. http://www.partyplansplus.com/themes.htm

Question I am planning my wife's 60th in Luaghlin, Nv over the 4th of July weekend.It is usually around 110 degrees during the day. I am responsible for suppling food and drinks during the day at the lake, Friday night BBQ (ribs & Chicken)and drinks at the house. Saturday night crab, shrimp, tri-tip and pasta salad with drinks. Probably going to be around 40 adults and 20 children (5 to 18 year olds). I am really unsure of the amount of beer, wine, and seafood needed. Kids are getting hot-dogs on Saturday night. HELP! Thanks, Steve
Answer Dear Steve:
I admit to not being a food and beverage expert. I, as a planner and consultant, would enlist the help of a catering and bar expert to establish what quantities and types of foods and drink would be appropriate for the guest list and occasion.
So, I don't try to answer questions like yours on my own. Instead I share a list of good sites that I have found that will help you.
As far as beverages, I suggest that you consult with your local liquor store manager for the expert scoop on those amounts. He/she will be prepared to advise you to a successful result.
I am sure your party will be a huge hit--the plan is awesome.
