Birthday Parties for 7-10 year olds

My kids have reached the age where it becomes more difficult to plan birthday parites for them. They still have an interest in having a party with their friends, however, they are less interested in the theme parties or having a location specific parties. What is a mom to do? My two oldest 7 and 9 are both boys. The older had a birthday back in October. We had a Wii sleepover party. It was a huge success and all the boys enjoyed themselves. Some stayed the night - others had sports conflicts etc and left around 10pm. We provided popcorn, wii games, borrowed some wii remotes and had a great time. This is the inspiration for the party we are creating for our new website. We are hoping to provide a wii/sleepover type of party framework. We are planning to include paper goods, invites, all the basics. For the party favor we are going to supply monogrammed water bottles for each of the attendees. We feel this a nice reusable gift that will be appreciated for months to come. I still feel we need one other good idea to complete the party and will be thinking on this topic. If you are interested check out the party at www.polkadotzkidz.com or leave comments with some of your ideas. Any ideas are welcome and appreciated. Well off to do some work - starting a new business takes lots of effort. Have a good one.

Parties for 4 year olds

When choosing a party for a kid the first thing you need to consider is the kids age. This will determine how many kids you may want to invite, the party theme, party length of time and whether parents stay or not.

First off is how many kids to invite. The rule of thumb has always been the number of guests should equal the kids age. I think this is a good rule to stay close to. If you child is 4 - I would suggest limiting the size ofo the party to 7 kids.

Second of all you must choose a theme. The most popular themes for this age are princess for girl and pirates for boys. These are the two parties we feature on our website www.polkadotzkidz.com . Other popular themes we will be adding soon include dinasoars, farm animals and cowboy/cowgirl. Our parties in a box include all the accessories you need to make your party a huge success. They also include a special personalized gift for the special birthday boy or girl. Be sure and check it out.

As for time I would stick to 1.5 hours for 4 year olds. At this age parent may or may not stay while the party is going on.

We will continue to update you on our new website and ideas we have for parties.
