I am wanting to have an old timey wedding. We are going to have candy jars with scoops so they can scoop whatever kind of candy they want, a photo booth (so much fun) cotton candy machine, popcorn machine. Its at an old store from the 1800s that was fixed up to do weddings at. So all this is for the reception.. for the ceremony its at the gazebo outside the store.. How does haystacks for chairs sound or any other ideas. Not just on the seats for everything also. Lots of help would work! thanks!
also anything that would go with this for the cake? anything cute to put the cake on? ive seen a cake on a tree stump very cute but that doesnt go with old timey
not sure what foods i am having but i know for sure were having finger foods!
I don’t ask for smart a** answers.. I ask for ideas. Thanks

For my 13th birthday (beginning of July) I’m having my party at my house (outside) and I am going to have:

DJ
Water slide (the big blow up one that you rent)
Air brush tattoo artist
Photo booth
Cartoon artist (where they make a cartoon of you)
Chocolate fountain
Snow cone machine
cotton candy machine
popcorn machine
I also might rent a trampoline depending on how much space I have left.

I’m not sure though what activities we can do like I want to have some contests with prizes but i don’t know what kind of contests to have. But besides that I still need other things to do.
The party has to last at least 4 hours and I can’t have people getting bored.

This is a girls only party and there is going to be about 30-40 people there.
Any other tips or suggestions are helpful!
thanks! xox

ps- does this sound like a babyish party or does it sound like a party a 13 yr old would have?

(This is iBella’s mom)

I have a 2 year old boy and as of Tuesday, i will have a 2 year old daughter (adopting her)

Their birthdays are only 2 days a part so we were thinking of having a joint party.

The party will be in June. (I know it’s far away, but I like to plan ahead.)

Would a carnival idea be cute?

We would rent ponies, have cotton candy, popcorn, snow cones, games, etc.

We would buy:
-cotton candy machine
-popcorn machine
-snow cone machine
-game stands
-games
-prizes
-food

When each kid comes, they will receive 100 coins(fake). They can use these coins to play games, go on pony rides, buy snacks (cotton candy,popcorn,snow cones).

After they play a game, they will receive tickets. They can take these tickets to the ‘Prize Booth’ and trade the tickets in.

The lunch menu will be foods like hot dogs, hamburgers, brats, etc. Stuff like that.

We will buy a small pool and fill it with 1 foot of water then put plastic boats in. The kids can do bumper boats. Life Vests will b
be provided. The normal pool will of course be set up for older kids. (It’s kind of hard to take down an in-ground pool)

We also have one of those blow up water slides that we will put up.

We are buying 2 of those bouncy house things.

A face painting booth will be set up.

A balloon station will be set up.

Any other ideas?

They are turning 3.

I am having a party for a 9 year old girl and 9 of her friends (all girls). The party is a pool party and lasts 4 hours. There will be lots of fun water games (like with water balloons) both in a out of the pool. all of her friends LOVE kickball so we will also do a tornement (only like 2-3 innings though to make it quick). We are also serving hambugers and hot dogs. Then for dessert we rented a snow cone machine, cotton candy machine, and popcorn machine. Now I have 3 questions about it answer honstly:
1) Do you think it will be a hit?
2) 3 people haved RSVP yet the party is June 30th. Do you think I should call?
3) What should I do about the changing situation?
For ? #2 I mean like how should I set up their changing. You know because last party it took them forever to get changed 1 by 1.

Hi Everyone,
I’m throwing a BIG carnival birthday party for my daughter, but it’s a surprise party so I cannot ask her what she would like. We are going to check with the village and rent a nearby field. I am planning on getting a moon bounce or two, but should I get an obstacle course bouncy house, a normal one? One of each? Also, I am planning on getting a cotton candy machine and a popcorn machine but what else would 13-year-old girls like to eat? Pizza? Hot dogs? What kind of carnival games would they like and who could I get to go in the dunk tank? Thank you for any answers. Best answer gets 10 points!

I was thinking of having a fun-fair themed birthday party for my 6-year-old. I have the venue (a large indoor hall), but what are some ideas to pull it off?
So far, I think I’ll have a hot-dog stand, corndogs, maybe popcorn, etc. I’m going to look into renting a cotton-candy machine.

What are some good fun-fair themed party games? (I cant afford renting any blow-up castles or other large equipment).

Thanks.

My husband and I are having my 6 year old stepson a birthday party. We have rented a popcorn and cotton candy machine. We were going to hire a clown but it’s way too expensive. I was wondering if you could give me some tips on what we could do for entertainment that won’t cost too much.

Hey!
I’m having my sweet 16 in early september and i don’t know what to do for it! So far I have 2 decent ideas:
1.) Think "drive in movie". I would get a huge movie screen and put it in my backyard with quilts on the grass and play 1-2 movies on the big screen. I would get pizza and have an old fashioned popcorn/cotton candy machine. I would also have baskets with movie candy in them on each quilt. I would be able to invite 40-50 people(boys&girls) for this party.
2.) My second idea is a day on the town(in Boston). I would pick 6 of my closest friends(a little hard to do) and take a limo downtown(about 20 mins.) and get mani/pedis for all girls. Then we’d go out to lunch and shop the whole day in Boston on Newberry St. This can only be around 6 *girls* though.
—I love both ideas! If you were my age (going to be a junior in H.S.) which would you rather attend? Please let me know which is better & if you have any other ideas(try to keep them inexpensive!)Thanks so much!-Isabella
