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
Not for those seeking information about party/event planning as a career. That information is found on the internet under "event planning careers" or at our site www.partyplansplus.com/started.htm

Question I am planning to celebrate my 50th birthday with a series of events in September. I'm going to basically be celebrating in some way every weekend. My dilemma is that two of the weekends are "girlfriends only" events and the last weekend is my big party. Should I do two sets of "save the date" cards - one listing the girlfriends only events and the party (sent to my girlfriends) and the second set to people just invited to the party? Or is there a tactful way to put everything on one card?
Answer Alexandria:
I would send the girlfriends a separate invitation listing all the events they are invited to...it will be a fun and feminine kind of thing that generates enthusiasm about the events.
Then for your special all-gender party, do another type of more generic party--since there might be women on that list that are not necessarily invited to the "girls" events.
This will prevent any misunderstandings and confusion about dates.
Remember, the invitation starts the party, so have fun with both.
Good for you to celebrate for a month! We encourage that here...our motto is "Don't Wait...Celebrate!"
