Our kids get a birthday party when they turn 5, 8, 12 and 16. Jordan turned 12 this year and thus got a big birthday party. There were about 20 kids total that were able to make it. He decided he wanted a black light party. So we had a bunch of black lights, white decorations and tons of streamers coming down from the ceiling. We also had a strobe light and a fog machine. The smoke machine was a big hit! Prior to the the day of the party we had all the kids that were coming pick out some music for the party. We also burned each kid a CD to take home with them with music from the party on it. Most of the time the kids danced, goofed-off and ate. We had a few games with cool prizes...some of them were even gift cards. If I could do it over again, I'd make more of the prizes gift cards.
All the kids had a lot of fun. They partied til 10pm. By the time parents were picking them up the house was THRASHED and full of smoke (from the fog machine!). But the kids seemed to have a lot of fun and Jordan couldn't thank me enough. So the huge mess I had to clean was totally worth it.
Happy Birthday, Jordan!
