Birthdays...
Birthdays are the most frequently celebrated events in a person's
life. Everyone has an innate need to be recognized and made to
feel special. What better way to accomplish this than with a
party that brings together family and friends.
After you decide to have a birthday party for yourself or host an event for someone else, you have so many things to consider: Type of party - themed or not, invitations, food, favors, games etc. It can either be overwhelming or OVERWHELMINGLY FUN! Try to divide the responsabilities into smaller portions and you can have fun each step of the way up to the day!!
Whatever you do, don't forget Party Decorations and Favors
 .
These types of events need to be broken down into two distinct categories: Adult and Child. Adult celebrations for birthdays can be general in nature or focus on
Specific Themes
. Obviously, the theme should be chosen on the basis of the interests of the guest of honor. Also if the special day falls within particular
"Milestones"
 
Special occasions for children are quite different. While some children
are happy with General Juvenile Party Themes like
Ponies
Pirates
Dinosaurs
Princesses
Ocean Adventures
Trains
 
 
most children want their special event to focus on Specific
Licensed Characters OR a particular show/movie like
Hannah Montana

DON'T FORGET PINATAS!!
How to Play the Pinata Party Game
Whether you are hosting an adult or a child birthday party, the pinata party game is bound to be the highlight of the celebration. The pinata is a great kid party game for all occasions!
Step by Step Instructions:
1. First, make sure you have everything needed to play this kid party game, such as a rope, a place from where to hang the pinata (a tree branch, a basketball hoop, two adults holding ends of a rope with a pinata hanging in middle, etc.), pinata candy and toy stuffers, a pinata buster stick and blindfolds for the participants.
2. Fill the pinata with the party favors before guests arrive at the party.
3. Organize the kids in a line, starting with the smallest one all the way to the tallest one. Only blindfold children that are over 3 years old, then spin them around a few times, provide them with the pinata buster stick and let loose to hit the pinata.
4. For safety's sake, while a child is hitting the pinata during the game, all other children must be kept away (a minimum 15' radius is recommended) from the hitter. Furthermore, the child should have completely ceased to hit the pinata before you allow the other kids to go grab the party favors spilled on the floor.
5. Allow each child to hit the pinata at least a couple of times before you move on to the next child.
To make the pinata party game even more fun, the pinata must be swung up and down, and guests must be encouraged to misdirect the pinata hitter (if the pinata is down, tell the hitter the pinata is up, etc).
