In the meantime, my eldest, turning 10 later this year, is in LOVE with Firefly, and has requested a Firefly themed birthday party. Did you know I can rent out an entire ACTUAL gold-mining ghost town for only $8 per person here in AZ? That's less expensive than going to Peter Piper Pizza! Holy cow, I'm going to throw the best Firefly party ever!

Sláinte! Second of all, cheers on what has got to be one of the most meticulously planned theme parties I've ever seen. And girl, I've been part of over 30 of them!<br /><br />My late brother and our friends used to throw elaborate theme parties; we'd plan it for months. We got really detailed with invites and decorations, and would get together every weekend for a month or so beforehand to build weird sets in the backyard (a pirate ship one year, Victorian London another; our first was a Beetlejuice party, so we built a huge shack that was Dante's Inferno Room (GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS!) on the outside, and the Eternal Waiting Room inside, where the booze was. GOOD TIMES) which would turn into a weekly BBQ/party at sundown. You'd be amazed how much you can plan/do on a small budget and in a short amount of time, if you have help that makes working fun!<br /><br />Then he got busy and well-to-do, and started just renting out clubs for parties, telling people what theme their costume should be, and calling it a night. Still good times, and I miss him and them every day, but not as good as getting together with everybody and creating magic (our guests were always blown away, all 200+ of them!) and having fun getting it all together. <br /><br />THEME PARTIES RULE<br /><br />StormStorm the Klingonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-50454235056426657122013-06-13T23:06:40.502-04:002013-06-13T23:06:40.502-04:00We're having a hobbit-themed wedding and I'...We're having a hobbit-themed wedding and I'm definitely borrowing some ideas (like now I want a cake instead of pies!).Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765946008930619358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-2796923004682160962013-06-13T22:57:18.338-04:002013-06-13T22:57:18.338-04:00Yeah, I totally did this for myself, too. ;-) I ...Yeah, I totally did this for myself, too. ;-) I love creating elaborate, involved, craft-filled parties, and I'm obsessed with doing most of it myself in large part to save money. But I would like to state, for the record, that my kids would love a Chuck E Cheese party *just* as much, and I think any birthday celebration, no matter how small, is equally awesome.

His parent's are amazing at things like this. This year the party was actually Hobbit themed. They'd picked up one of the store movie displays and created a doorway with it so the kids could take pictures. His mom made cloaks for all the kids with matching beards or crowns with elf ears. The invites were written like an adventure contract and the kids had their names put on their swords at the door in script. The dad dressed up as Gandalf. They had a room with "treasure (cloth bags of candy) in front of a huge cardboard Smaug. His eye was glowing and they had a recording of snoring playing. The kids had a blast. <br />Last year was Harry Potter. She made "butter beer- a caramel flavored drink, and chocolate frogs. They used dry ice and dad dressed as Snape helped the kids make a brew. Their house is on the historical register, so it actually fit the bill very well. They had owls for the kids to make out of pom-pons and pipe cleaners. A wand store (with stage works fire for the kids when they tested their wands) a house robe store. The year before that was a dino dig in the yard. <br />We all joke that it's a party war with all our kids and their parties, but she seriously has us all beat. We love it and the kids have some amazing memories.
