last year i turned 13. smilies/cheesy.gif its great being a teenager. at my birthday party we made a HUGE list of truth or dare questions which you can find on google or yahoo. It was a blast. We also got a video camera & recorded wacky commercials for random items around the house & made up what they were for. it was really fun to go back and watch the commercial & have a good laugh. Hope this helps & hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Winter Party Ideas

Theme: Travel to the North Pole

Invitation: Come join us As we journey to the pole

Never mind the frosty Weather

Come and have some fun together

Decorations: White batting for snow, white balloons and white crepe paper. 'smilies/grin.gifanger Ice' signs. Cover a large pole with white and red crepe paper and add a sparkly ball on top for the North Pole or draw a picture of one to hang on the wall.

Cake: Snowball cupcakes with our without coconut. Serve with mud and snow (hot cocoa and whipped cream)

Goodie Bags: Blue bags with snowflakes glued to them fill with cocoa, mini marshmallows or give them each a mug with cocoa and marshmallows wrapped in plastic and tied with a ribbon.

Winter Wonderland Theme Party

Colors: Silver, white and icy blue are the perfect color choices for this cool theme

Invitations: Choose an invitation that incorporates your color scheme and images of snowflakes, ice or other images reflecting the party's theme. Jot down all of the details in silver gel ink for a wintry sparkle

Decorations: Tables, dress up with elegant white tablecloths. These can be purchased for reasonable prices at discount stores like T.J.Maxx or HomeGoods. Accent each table with silver accessories, like placemats, napkins and cutlery. Purchase these festive hues at any local party store during the holiday season, or buy them in bulk at a warehouse store.

Centerpieces, Candles are an excellent way to give the room a soft, elegant and intimate ambiance without breaking the bank. Here are some ideas for adding a gentle glow to your party: White candles placed in glass jars and surrounded by garlands of silver tinsel are eye-catching, but not ostentatious.

A cluster of small candles on each table looks mesmerizing, especially when placed inside frosted blue glass candle holders.

Snowball candles, placed on a decorative candle plate, are a perfect touch. Some are available with gentle scents to further set the mood.

Lighting, Place strings of lighting over window frames or on trees. If it fits in your budget, add light branches to corners of the room for an elegant, dreamlike effect. Finally, dress up your punch bowl with light cubes, which are FDA-approved plastic cubes resembling illuminated ice cubes. They'll add a resplendent glow to your buffet table.

Beverages

Forgo the typical punch bowl in favor of sparkling cider, hot apple cider sprinkled with cinnamon and hot cocoa with whipped cream and marshmallows. Offer tea, coffee and some soft drinks for individuals who prefer a more basic option. If you want to provide a selection of cocktails for the adults, try one of these mouthwatering drinks:



Hot Buttered Rum (rum, apple cider, raisins, cinnamon and butter)

Peppermint Patty (hot chocolate, peppermint Schnapps and whipped cream)

Almond Bliss (amaretto, hot chocolate and whipped cream)

Egg Nog (with and without alcohol)

[edit]Food

Opt for dishes that connect with the holiday in some way, but ensure that there are enough selections to suit everyone's preferences and dietary needs. Some possibilities include:



Cranberry stuffed turkey or chicken

Roasted and stuffed mushrooms or green peppers

Meatballs or spinach balls

Smoked salmon drizzled with lemon sauce

Tomato and spinach pasta

Harvest rice pilaf

Garlic or cheesy mashed potatoes
