Barnyard Bash! Farm Party Ideas for a Moo-velous Child's Birthday Party

Want to celebrate a special day down on the farm? Start with an E-I-E-I-Oh-so-cute invite from paperlicious.com Always farm-friendly made from 100% recycled fiber papers. Try the frogs, ladybugs, sheep, or be bold with this hip cowhide design.


Welcome guests to your family farm by transforming your door into a barn door with cardboard. All you need is a large piece of cardboard, red paint or paper, and white paint or white duct tape to create the "X" outline on the door.

Play Barnyard Hide and Seek. Only the animals are hiding and the children have to round them back up and herd them into the barn. You can turn any carboard box into a barn by covering with red paper or painting it red. Tear off the shorter 2 flaps and use the longer 2 as the barn doors. It can be as simple or elaborate as you want. Have stuffed animal cows, pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, dogs, ducks, horses, etc. If you don't have or want a lot of stuffed animals lying around, you could pick up some plastic or wooden farm animals at any toy store.

For a thoughtful favor, gather some small farm animal themed childrens books like "Moo, Baa, La, La, La," by Sandra Boynton or "Big Red Barn" by Margaret Wise Brown. For older children try the Doreen Cronin series "Click, Clack Moo, Cows that Type." Have one book for each guest tied up in colorful bandanas and hanging from a low tree branch where guests can "pick" their prize as the party ends.

Don't forget to send your guests a hip hoe-down thank you with your Paperlicious thank you stationery.

Make Waves At The Best Pool Party Ever! Pool Party Ideas & Pool Party Invitations

Memorial Day has come again, welcoming the official start of the swimming season. That means it's time to start planning your summer pool party, and paperlicious.com is here to help. Planning something for younger kids and their parents? Use a fish or aquarium theme and choose this super cute clownfish invite.


Boys are sure to love this gnarly surfboard-Dude, it's totally cool.



And for the socially savvy girls out there who just want to have fun with their friends, send out these cute beach blanket and bathing suit invites in bright summery shades of pink. Be sure to check out paperlicious.com for even more summer fun options.

No matter the theme, everyone loves a pool party, and these simple tips will help you make a wave that your guests won't forget!

Safety first, folks. Especially with kids around water. Be sure to go over house rules with guests before the water fun begins and have a first aid kit on hand. If you can't have a certified lifeguard, it would be great if some parents could stick around to help out when you have to step inside for food and party supplies. Have sunscreen available around the pool and remind kids to re-apply. Offer water bottles and sports drinks in ice buckets or coolers to keep everyone hydrated.

Since the main focus of the party is the pool, it will take care of most of the entertainment for you. It's a good idea to have a couple party games planned as well. For older kids, buy a large inflatable floating animal, like a duck or a shark. We like this one from prankplace.com. One kid gets onto the animal from outside the pool and immediately raises one arm above his or her head. The goal is to stay on the animal for eight seconds, like a bull rider in a rodeo. The challenge is that everyone else in the pool is creating waves and other commotion to knock the rider off (without making physical contact).
For a younger crowd, float two buckets in the center of a round innertube and divide kids into 2 teams. Now dump a large bag of ice cubes into the pool and see which team can get the most ice cubes into their respective buckets in a given amount of time.


Keep your menu kid friendly and simple. Have homemade whole fruit popsicles on hand. We're drooling over the recipes on this kids' cooking site. Try to avoid foods that require refrigeration or that contain milk products as they could upset kids' stomachs in the heat. Have a simple pasta salad and chips to go with grilled hot dogs or sandwiches.

For fun, set some waterproof disposable cameras around the pool and let kids take pictures that you can develop and send to them along with a thank you card from paperlicious.com to match the invitations you chose.

Tiki Time! Tiki Party Ideas From Paperlicious

Savor some South Pacific with your friends this summer: host your own tiki party. Set the island tone for your guests with this luau tropical tiki hut invitation from paperlicious.com. If you plan to ask guests to dress in their tiki-best, remember to mention that in the invitation. Ordering from paperlicious is so low hassle, you'll have plenty of time to transform your space into the tropical tiki paradise that this hip invite promises your party pals.

Bit of tiki history for you. This type of food and flair became popular in the United States in the 1940's-1960's. Trader Vic is credited for introducing many recipes for food and drink to this culture. There still are several Trader Vic restaurants or lounges in the US today. Check out www.tradervics.com for more tiki history. Or order Trader Vic's tiki party book for expert advice on how to plan your party.


A summertime outside space at a pool or back yard naturally lends itself to this type of party, but if weather doesn't cooperate or you need a little summer sizzle in your winter, indoor works great, too. Decor is essential and can be either light and bright with flowers (orchids, birds of paradise) birds, paper lanterns and the like. Or you can go retro lounge feel with rafia style grass skirts on tables, real fishing nets on the wall, brown beaded curtains, polynesian god statues, and tiki lanterns lining the path of your party. Play some polynesian jazz for your friends. Try Martin Denny or Arthur Lyman.

Food and Drink are perhaps the most important piece to bring the ooh-la-Shangri-la-la-la to the table. How about a real roast pig? If you're not a fan of hooves on the table, make the centerpiece a stuffed animal pig with tropical fruits all around the platter with it: pineapples, mangoes, bananas, etc. Try this "Classic 'Tiki' Mai Tai" drink from myrecipes.com or check out this blog devoted entirely to tropical drinks. This is a great opportunity to fire up the bar-b-que and try out some of these great grill recipes from fabulousfoods.com. Remember to serve your drinks in these tiki god mugs from retroplanet.com. Send your guests home with their mug for a fabulous favor.


Now turn the music up and get down low: Time to LIMBO! Any music will do and any old broomstick for that matter. Be sure to take some great pictures to keep the fun alive after the party is over.

The Freedom to Party - Fourth Of July Party Ideas From Paperlicious

Want to be a part of the biggest birthday celebration in America this year? Get started on your Fourth of July party plans today and take advantage of 15% off your Independence Day stationery order from www.paperlicious.com And there's something for every Fourth Day party style: from sparklers to stars and stripes to Old Glory herself. Or try a backyard barbeque, Texas-style if you like.

Paperlicious is here for you after the invitations are out, too. Try these patriotic party plans to turn your celebration into a Yankee Doodle Dandy.

If possible, choose a party location like a park or large backyard that provides plenty of space for picnicing and playing. Even better if it will provide a view of your local fireworks show later in the evening. You could even talk to a local business about using their parking lot for a 4th of July tailgate with food and activities up until the fireworks display.

You will have no trouble finding every manner of centerpiece, napkin, plate, banner, etc. to make your party sparkle. Try to keep your "destined-for-the-dump" decorations to a minimum so that America will have even more birthdays to celebrate in the future. Focus on the tables. Cover with an oversized white tablecloth that you can tie with a large red or blue bow around the legs. This looks great and keeps your cloth from being blown in the breeze. Run a red and blue streamer of crepe paper (used again later) down the center of the tables for a runner. Get an arrangement of red and white flowers and place them in a navy blue vase for the centerpiece.

Start your party in the late afternoon with a family bicycle parade or relay race. Play some feel-good All-American music like Springstein's "Born in the U.S.A." or "Independence Day" by Martina McBride. Decorate each bicycle with red and blue crepe paper streamers and miniature flags. Then mark out the course and they're off! Try some activities for the kids where the goal is just to make a lot of noise (much like fireworks). Get a roll of plastic packaging bubbles, unroll it, turn up the music and have a dance party as the bubbles all pop. Or play the classic "tie a balloon around your ankle" stomp game where everyone tries to pop everyone else's balloon while protecting their own. Ask a guitar-playing friend to come prepared to accompany a patriotic sing-a-long. Create your own Independence Day battle of the water balloon canons. Two people hold a beach towel and place a balloon in the center. They sling the balloon with the towel at an opposing team or target. This game will also cool you off after some of the other hotter ones.

Grilling is the answer for your dinner tonight. Check out the hundreds of great grilling recipes and ideas from kaboose.com or use your own family favorite. Remember to grill your vegetables, too, for a treat even the kids will love. Watermelon (leaves room for a seed-spitting contest) can be cut into balls or stars and served in a watermelon bowl like this one. Fresh squeezed lemonade will hit the spot on a hot summer day and can be served red (with strawberries or raspberries). Don't forget to homemade ice cream to serve just before or during fireworks.

Speaking of fireworks, if you plan to present your friends and family with a homemade display, check out the Council on Fireworks safety first to be sure you've covered all your bases. www.fireworksafety.com. When the sun is going down, remember to have some bug spray handy for those All-American mosquitos that sometimes show up uninvited. Maybe even some ear plugs for those little ones who don't love the big booms. Help your guests enjoy the lights of the night by giving them a comfortable place to watch. Have large pillows and beach blankets available for families to sit together on and enjoy the view as you celebrate your freedom!
