Hi everyone,

i need a bit of help.
my 10 year old has asked me if he can have a party for his 11th bday in feb, i have said yes as this will be the last party he has as he goes to senior school next september.

i have contacted a few halls and they seem reasonable about £11 per hour but what sort of party would be best
disco, themed, bouncy castle, over sized games

heellllppppp

he hasnt had a proper party since his 6th birthday instead we took a few friends to the zoo/bowling/cinema so i think im a bit behind with the times.

thanks for any help in advance

    What does he like? I would suggest a disco as some of his guests might think they're a bit cool for bouncy castles. Unless (if he is into football) you contacted your local leisure centre and hired out the football pitch - you could have 5 a side games. Runs the energy out of them too.

    You put everyones name into a bag and pull out 5 per team - then make them a velcro patch of a big circle (for the circle team example) and display the teams on a list near the door when they come in.

    You could do his cake like a football trophy too.

  • thanks for your reply,


    he does like football but he wants a mixed girls and boys party and most of the girls are not into football, he is really into street dancing so i thought a disco would be ok,
    i thought about a theme but not hsm as my son cant stand it, maybe movie stars ???????????

    im trying to think what could fill the 2 hours or 1 /12 hours up !

    say 6.30pm disco starts 7pm food then what he he he

    im lost !
  • What about a James Bond theme? All the boys can wear the smart jackets and the girls can dress up in mums sparkly bits. You could have Bond music and themed games.

  • thankyou money maker !
    i will ask him when he gets in from school !

    i think its much easier for girls parties than boys lol
  • Or, perhaps a murder mystery type party. Kids wear same sort of stuff, lights go out, an adult is murdered/kidnapped and an 'inspector' enters the room. Perhaps using forfeits or clues for the partygoers to solve the crime.

    Would take a bit of thinking out though. I'm not normally full of ideas...!
