How to Have a Birthday Party
Birthdays come and go with each passing year, so how do you have a party that will always be memorable? Here are some tips to get you started.
Steps
Pick a theme. You can go with a Hawaiian theme, a Chinese theme, or an adult tea party for women only. For kids, there are so many ideas out there, from Sponge Bob and Jimmy Neutron, to princesses and pirates. Go to your local party store for ideas, then find invitations to go with your theme.
Choose decorations - streamers, balloons, candles, even glass beads and sand for a pool or beach party. Just think of your theme: glass beads can be sea bubbles, small pebbles spray-painted gold can be the treasure for a pirate party, nuts and bolts in a vase with a candle holder or a bowl of toy cars on top of it makes for a racing party any little boy or girl will love.
Serve food relating to your theme (such as Chinese food for a Chinese party theme,) or serve "a little of everything" to please everyone.
Find games. Games always seem to be the hit of the party, and many party stores have tons of party games on their shelves. Find one or a few that you could picture the guests playing.
Give goody bags or parting gifts. For kids, you can give them stickers, crayons, bubbles, toy cars, plastic tiaras, yo-yo's, etc. For adults, you can give journals, small baskets of mixed gifts, picture frames, or whatever you think your guests will like.
Create place settings. Place cards are easy to make. Use a seashell with each guests name painted on them, use walnuts(with the card sticking out of it) small terra cotta pots, or a small handful of sand that holds a place card. Think about your party, and the ideas that you can come up with.
Tips
You can look in books at the library or book store, or surf the internet for more ideas.
Warnings
If throwing a party for children, and young kids or babies are going to be there, make sure the goody bags contain gifts that they cannot choke on.

Brooklyn, New York
Brooklyn, which is also called Kings County as a county of the state of New York, and known as the "Borough of Homes and Churches," is one of the five Boroughs of New York. It used to be and still feels much like a city in its own right, with approximately 2.5 million inhabitants. If separate from the rest of New York City, Brooklyn would be the 4th largest American city.
Brooklyn is situated on the westernmost point of Long Island and shares a land boundary with Queens which partially encircles Brooklyn to the north, east and south; Manhattan lies across the East River to the west and north of Brooklyn and Staten Island is across the Verrazano Narrows to the southwest.
Brooklyn is currently enjoying a period of growth and affluence not seen since before World War II. There's world-class theater at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the center of a proposed new arts district that will include a new art museum and a highly controversial Frank Gehry-designed sports area home for the NBA's Nets. Frederick Law Olmsted, who designed Brooklyn's Prospect Park as well as Manhattan's Central Park, thought his Brooklyn creation the finer of the two. Elsewhere in the borough, Williamsburg is a hipster neighborhood and burgeoning art colony, and Brighton Beach is home to New York's largest concentration of Russian immigrants.
How To Travel In And Around Brooklyn
A tourist or a native has many choices. One can travel from Manhattan or from Queens by taking the subway, ride the Long Island train, take the bus, or ride a car, limousine service or bike, or be on foot.
To understand more the subway connections, it is better to download a subway map from the Metropolitan Transit Authority's website or pick one up for free at what New Yorkers still anachronistically call a token booth, even though tokens are no longer on sale or used in the New York subways.
For those taking the train, there are stops in Brooklyn at Nostrand Avenue which is served by the A and C subway lines, and East New York, which is served by the A, C, L, J, and Z subway lines. Eastbound trains continue to Jamaica Station in Queens, from where passengers can change trains for points further east or take the AirTrain to John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK).
Brooklyn is covered by an extensive network of MTA buses. Of particular note is the B51 bus, which runs between City Hall in Manhattan and Smith St./Fulton St. in Downtown Brooklyn, via the Manhattan Bridge. The trip is particularly beautiful on the way to Manhattan. Note that the bus operates only on weekdays, with the last bus leaving Smith St./Fulton St. at 7:10 P.M. and from Park Row at 7:40 P.M., according to the current schedule and depending on traffic. See the MTA website for bus maps and schedules of individual bus lines.
For those driving a car or using a limousine service in Manhattan or a Bronx limousine service, the connections between Queens and Brooklyn are too numerous to mention. The Williamsburg, Manhattan, and Brooklyn Bridges link Manhattan and Brooklyn, and the Verrazano Narrows Bridge links Staten Island and Brooklyn. Of those, only the Verrazano is a toll bridge.
Riding a bike or going on foot is good for slowly savoring Brooklyn’s great spots. One can see more of the area that’s not easily accessible by car, train or bus. All the bridges between Brooklyn and Manhattan are now accessible to both pedestrians and cyclists.
