Birthday Invites For Kids

Help planning a kids birthday party!?

I am trying to figure out what to do for my boys birthday party. They are going to be 10 and 9 yrs old. And they are sharing the party.
The kids will be a mix of ages (family and friends from school) There are 17 kids in the family and my oldest invited some kids from school. So many people and age groups I am freaking out! Ages are from 1 to 12 mostly between 7-11 and 4 of them are 3 and under. Please help me with some ideas.
The party will be held at home (backyard party)

You need a theme to start with. And with such an array of ages I would suggest a circus theme....everyone loves a circus. You can rent MANY things from party stores that will keep this vast age group happy. Popcorn makers, cotton candy makers, sno-cones, warm pretzels. Have an adult willing to help coordinate certain areas.....such as face painting you can find face paints easily and it's cheap fun. If your back or front yard is big enough rent a jumping gym. You can buy (at walmart) your own helium tank and blow up balloons for guests. Have party favors in brown paper sacks decorated by your kids and put balloons/bubbles/plastic toy animals/gum/crayons.....this is cheap. Have a popcorn maker give out bags of popcorn. Have a bucket toss. Give prizes......you can get a load of little toys from Oriental trading and give those out. Bean bag toss games. Hot dogs are a favorite for everyone and have large bowls of condiments so the guests can fix their own. Instead of cake have cupcakes and let the kids decorate their own to eat (put frosting into zip lock bags and snip the end.....the frosting is contained for less mess) Sometimes you can "rent" a clown to come to your party to do tricks or balloon art. There are so many things you can do with this theme. Good luck and have fun. Many times the simplest things are what makes your kids happy.........go for fun not for quantity. One day they will appreciate all your efforts......probably won't be until they have kids of their own though. :)

Instant kids birthday invitation wording templates and creative ideas for delivering your invitations that will get everyone excited about your ...

We are somewhat new to this neighborhood. This will be our second year here. Last year for my son's birthday party we invited a few of the kids that he had met for a backyard party and water balloon fight. We welcomed older and younger siblings since it wouldn't cost any extra. This year for his fifth birthday we're having it at the go-cart track. We have 40 tickets already purchased. I don't know if it will cause any problems if we only invite the friends and not the siblings this year. I'm afraid they may show up with the siblings anyway (yes they can be that tacky) and I don't want to provide ride tickets for them because it takes away from the invited kids. I also don't want to cause any hard feelings. Is there a tactful way to possibly let parents know that we will only be providing tickets to the invited guests maybe by listing the price of the rides?

i understand your dilemma, just say it at least twice on your invitation.

Pirate themed diecut party invitations

I just found out that a little girl had a party and did not invite my child. We had had this same little girl to every birthday party my child had for the last four years, shouldn't it be reciprocal?
I always have my child invite the kids who invited her. Am I wrong?
Oh these are third graders
I should add I am pretty good friends with the mom and the child is one of my childs bests friends. My child is deeply hurt. At my childs birthday we even invited her little sister. And my daughters friend has come to our house for numerous playdates and only been asked once over to their house. If this was a child who my child was not that close to I would not have a problem, but it is one of her closest friends.

I would let my child decide who they want to invite. And leave it at that.

One package of 25 Ladybug Fancy Gatefold Party Invitations with envelopes
Ladybug Fancy Bulk Party Invitations

My son goes to daycare once a week (just for exposure to other kids), and his birthday (5th) is August 29th...for reasons of vacation and other planning issues, his kids birthday party is being held Aug 18th. He will be in daycare monday July 23rd, but then wont be back again until Aug 3rd. I need the head count for the reservations by the 11th of Aug. Should i sent out the invites this monday, or after he returns to daycare? Ive only ever had family parties with him, and it didnt matter, this is the first year hes having a party with only kids, so its new to me. Thanks!

7/23 is too early- people will forget. Hand out the invitations when he returns to school, and make sure you talk to the parents and give them the invitations.
