YOU GOT

YOUR WISH!

by Teresa Farkas, Amanda Miller Allen and Dalia Faupel

Here are Atlanta Parent’s tips, ideas and strategies to

help make your birthday party

planning a breeze.

Don’t Break the BankDon’t invite your child’s whole class – limit the party to fewer than 10 friends.

Online Invites Ordering or designing initiations online can save time and money.

n Minted.com and Snapfish.com: Customize birthday invitations by adding photos and details about the party. Some are more fancy depending on design, but most can be fairly low cost, especially if you sign up for their emails. Coupons and discount codes are sent frequently.

n Paperlesspost.com: Choose from tons of trendy online cards without the cost of printing. Sign up, choose a design and send out via email.

n Evite.com: Choose from hundreds of designs to match the birthday party theme, personalize and collect email addresses. Link gift options and then send via email to the guests. A new feature includes being able to send an invite via text message.

n Facebook: Skip the invitation altogether and create a Facebook group for your child’s birthday party. Invite each child’s parent to join and include details for the party in the description. After the party, the group is a quick way to share photos.

n Printables: Tons of free and low-cost printable invitations can be found on etsy.com, pinterest.com and greetingsisland.com among others. Customize the design templates on your computer, print out and send.

Twice the fun. Half the hassle.Consider holding a joint birthday party with one of

your child’s friends or a sibling (if both love the idea).

Cont’d on page 18

Skip party favors or limit them to one small toy, bubbles and a piece of candy per child. Or make a take-home craft at the party.Visit a discount or dollar store for plates, cups, forks, napkins, candles, balloons and more. For character-themed parties, just buy stickers to decorate the plates and cups.

March 2018 Atlanta Parent 5 atlantaparent.com Party Planner

LEGOs n Splurge: Buy tickets in advance to LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Atlanta for a small group starting at $12.50 per child (more if you get a LEGO collectable) or book a party for up to 40 guests for about $600. atlanta.legolanddiscoverycenter.com

n Spend Less: Host a LEGO-themed party at home and let kids work on a group project or make an individual creation to take home, see who can build the tallest tower or guess how many LEGOs are in a big jar (winner gets the LEGO jar).

Theme Parties, More or Less Pick your theme and splurge on the party or do it on a budget with these ideas:

Puppetsn Splurge: Tickets to the Center for Puppetry Arts to see a production, visit the museum and do a Create-a-Puppet Workshop are about $20 per child; party packages start at about $240 for 10 tickets (annual membership fee required). puppet.org

n Spend Less: At a puppet-themed home party, kids could do a craft to make their own hand puppets out of socks, then put together a show on a cardboard box stage.

Tea Partyn Splurge: Atlanta has fun and elegant tea party sites for kids, including Tea Leaves & Thyme in Woodstock. Kids can dress up using the restaurant’s vintage clothing items before enjoying a formal tea with real china and silverware ($12-$22 per child). tealeavesandthyme.com

n Spend Less: Set an elegant table and hold the tea party at home, using fine china, cloth napkins and a grown-up centerpiece. Get even fancier and use your silver tea service, or borrow one from a friend.

Sports Party n Splurge: Take your child’s closest friends to an Atlanta United soccer game or a Braves game. Feast on treats at the venues and let the birthday kid pick out a new T-shirt.

n Spend Less: Host a soccer, football, volleyball or kickball game at a nearby park or in the backyard. Have sport-themed foods and favors for guests.

American Girln Splurge: Take a group of girls to American Girl at North Point Mall for a deluxe party in the private dining room (about $50 per girl) or make reservations for a regularly scheduled WelliWishers tea party (about $15 per girl) or a group luncheon. americangirl.com

n Spend Less: Plan a doll party at home with fun activities and ask girls to bring their dolls. Look for some ideas on pinterest.com, make a bear for the doll with craft foam and glue or a bead ID bracelet.

Nature Partyn Splurge: Take up to 12 kids and adults to the Chattahoochee Nature Center for a close encounter with critters, starting at $255 chattnaturecenter.org

n Spend Less: Hold the party in your own backyard with nature scavenger hunts, nature-themed crafts and more.

6 Atlanta Parent March 2018 atlantaparent.comParty Planner

Kids and teens alike will love having a glow-in-the-dark party, think glow sticks, lots of neon and black lights.

Decor: Purchase large rolls of black craft paper (enough to cover walls or a photo area) and neon paint. Paint words, patterns or splatter paint with different colors. When dry, hang on the wall. Purchase lots of black lights for the party, this way everyone and everything will glow. Stick glow sticks inside of balloons for a colorful decoration.

Food: Tonic water can be added to punch, juice or lemonade to glow under black light. Adding crushed Vitamin B2 tablets makes most foods glow. White foods reflect black light, such as marshmallows, vanilla ice cream or tortilla chips.

Games: Fill empty water bottles with glow sticks, turn off the lights and bowl in the dark. Use circular-shaped glow sticks and play ring toss around a post. Play glow tag: Give each person a glow-in-the-dark necklace. Give the person who is “it” a glow necklace in a different color. When a player has been tagged, he is out.

Favors: Make glow slime by mixing psyllium husks (found in the health foods aisle), water and Vitamin B2 tablets. Once mixed, this will glow under a blacklight and feel like slime (without the sticky part).

GLOW Have Some Fun!

Let Them Eat (No) CakeWho says a traditional cake has to be the birthday centerpiece?

n Create a donut cake or a donut holes tower, or stack Oreos for a lighter bite. Use examples at pinterest.com for inspiration.

n Arrange multi-colored cupcakes like balloons on a large serving dish, then add strings and a bow (or arrange as a number corresponding to the child’s age).

n Build a brownie tower (make the treats or buy them), and decorate with candles and berries. See howdoesshe.com for a pretty example.

n Make cake kabobs by putting cubes of sheet cake on a skewer and layering with frosting, then drizzle with frosting or top with sprinkles.

n Make cone cupcakes, using flat-bottomed ice cream cones. (Find an easy recipe and instructions at bettycrocker.com or use bakery cupcakes; a frosting demo is at tastemade.com.)

Cool Idea!Pair any not-a-cake idea with

pre-scooped ice cream – put scoops in a muffin tin with cupcake liners and

freeze for easy serving.

PICCADILLY PUPPETS

Birthday child always gets a puppet!Puppet making workshops available

Let’s Party! Are you In or Out?Go low tech with some high energy indoor and outdoor party games for kids. With many ways to customize to your theme, these games are winners for toddlers to practically teens.

Outdoor GamesBalloon PopBlow up an equal number of balloons in two colors. Tie a ribbon around the end of each balloon and fasten the ribbon around each kid’s ankle. The balloon color indicates which team each guest is on. Start a timer for five minutes, during which kids try to stomp the opposing teams’ balloons. The winning team pops the most balloons.

Art WalkTell the kids to dress for messy fun and bring a dry change of clothes. Lay out rolls of craft paper or poster board in your driveway or other flat area outside. Pour non-toxic paint into disposable pans, large enough to stand in. Play your birthday kid’s favorite upbeat tunes and let the kids create a masterpiece as they dance, jump, or walk across the paper with paint-dipped feet! Some kids may want to dip hands as well and crawl or crab walk across the canvas. Use a garden hose for clean up! After it dries, the artwork can be divided into pieces as party favors. The birthday child keeps the rest as a memento.

Indoor GamesFriend BINGOCreate BINGO cards based on things you know about guests. For example, one square might be, find someone who owns a pet bird. Or, find someone who has traveled outside of the U.S. This is an especially good game when all the guests don’t know each other. Set a timer for enough time for the kids to mingle, based on how many participants are there. When a player finds someone who completes a square, they ask them to sign their name in it. The first one to black out their card is the winner.

Upcycled InventionsDivide kids into groups (size of groups depends on number of guests) in random fashion to create equal teams. Each team receives an envelope of identical support items, like rubber bands, tape, kid scissors and/or glue dots. Have a large bin or two of recyclable items like cardboard towel rolls, cereal boxes, paper bags, magazines and yogurt cups. Each group chooses three recyclable items and, as a team, they decide what invention they’ll create. Give a 15-minute time limit so no one gets bored. Then, have each team present their inventions to the whole party.
