A Circus Birthday Bash Worthy of the Big Top
If you want a very happy child, considering throwing a birthday party worthy of the big top. A circus theme for a birthday party is sure to thrill and excite your little one and guests alike. Be sure to make the event one worthy of its title though and keep the action lively and moving throughout the event so that little minds with short attention spans do not have an opportunity to move on to more mischievous pursuits.
The first thing that is an absolute must for a circus theme is a big top. This may run a little high on the decoration dime but can be done quite nicely without booking a huge back yard with a tent. In fact, you can create a tent in your very own living room if you are so inclined to do so. Helium can be rented quite inexpensively and you can create the illusion of a tent top by filling the ceiling with brightly colored balloons and streamers to match. In addition to this you can have the entrance of the room made to look like tent flaps. Push all the furniture along the wall and allow the little ones to seat themselves on the floor along the "center ring" where all the action will be.
Now, you really should make an effort to have some sort of entertainment for the kiddos with an event of this nature. It can be a clown act, magic show, or simply someone making balloon animals for the birthday boy or girl and his or her guests. Face painting is another great activity to include on your list of events and shows and a lot of fun for the little ones. Be sure to include several great games (ring toss, pin the nose on the clown, and corn hole are great games worthy of a circus theme) and a craft activity or two in the running so that the little ones do not sit idly very long. It is always a good idea to keep them occupied and having fun.
The big top provides some excellent dining delights that carry over quite well into the birthday party theme. Hot dogs are an excellent lunch for a room filled with excited little ones. Candied apples, popcorn, and peanuts are also a great and fun addition to birthday party food that work well with the circus theme. Be sure to enlist serious muscle for the clean up when all is said and done.
Goody bags can be a lot of fun for this particular event by using popcorn bags for the bag and filling them with circus animals, bubbles, glow bracelets, circus themed stickers, and other nifty little items. Oriental trading and local party stores might prove to be an excellent resource for goody bag gifts. Don't forget to include a photo frame with a photo of each child with his or her face painted or balloon animal as a keepsake.
The main thing to remember when planning a party worthy of the big top moniker is that the most important thing is that everyone has a good time. Don't sweat the small details so much that you aren't able to enjoy the event. Other great ideas to make this an even bigger event include things such as renting a moon walk for kids to jump and play in, renting a cotton candy maker, and having a real popcorn popper rather than relying on microwave popcorn. There's something about the smell that just makes it feel like a circus.
Another thing you need to do when planning a big top or circus themed birthday party is plan for contingencies, such as rain if the party was to be held outside. The show must go on whether it is storming or whether the sun is shining brightly so be sure to have a back up plans in case things go awry.
A Birthday Party at the Scene of the Crime
Television shows such as CSI (and the subsequent CSI Miami and CSI New York), NCIS, and Cold Case Files have made crime scenes and crime investigations the new murder mystery parties. They are a great deal of fun when properly planned and well executed but leave a lot of room for failure if poorly planned or inflexible. If you are considering a party such as this, a great party for teens and adults alike be sure that you either have an actual mystery to solve as the evening progresses or that you simply use the theme as a backdrop. There is no real right or wrong way to do a birthday party but if you want to throw the party that everyone will be talking about you'll need to create a crime for the scene you're investigating and leave clues all around to help with the investigation.
Decorating your crime scene party can be a lot of fun with crime scene tape and chalk outlines on the floor. Be sure to make them realistic in size by having someone actually lay down for you to draw the outline. You can leave fake footprints, fingerprints, and clue cards throughout the room (not too well hidden unless you want people snooping). You can even enlist plenty of help when leaving the clues and decorating because of the novelty of this sort of party. You do not have to limit the festivities to one room and you can, if you are feeling truly adventurous, have a different case going on in different rooms and have the kids draw numbers for teams and race to solve the crime first.
You might also do well to set up a lab, complete with microscope and tables dedicated to sorting out the evidence and make notes for the shocking conclusion of the crimes in question. Of course you will want to make the crimes simple and solvable by leaving clues that the kids will have no trouble finding or deciphering without making it too easy. Use your favourite episode for inspiration if you must and throw in a red herring or two to keep things fun. Young and old alike, the kids will have a good time arguing over the clues and trying to determine who really committed the crimes (and of course making up their assumptions and stories as to why the crimes occurred in the first place).
For food you can have an actual CSI cake or go with cookies that are shaped like footprints or thumb print cookies for an excellent play on words. Of course by the time kids are old enough to enjoy a party such as this they probably would be happy with good food rather than themed food and pizza, sloppy Joes, finger foods, chips and dips, and cookies and cake will make an excellent food addition to the party without needing to fit in with any one theme. Be sure to have plenty of pop and bottled water on hand though because crime solving is thirsty work.
In real life it is best to leave the jobs of solving crimes up to the men and women who were trained to do so. In the world of birthday parties however, crime solving and crime scene investigating reign supreme as the next great thing in birthday party ideas.

Adult Birthday Party Celebrations and Party for Adults
In the beginning, no attention was paid to the anniversary of important events, such as birthdays, primarily because humans had no way of keeping time. However, when peoples began taking notice of the moon's cycles, attention began to the changing seasons and the pattern that repeated itself over and over until the first calendars were developed to mark time changes. This tracking system began the practice of celebrating birthdays and other significant anniversaries on the same day each year.
It is believed that the birthday party tradition started in Europe long ago, and that evil spirits were attracted to people on their birthdays. To protect the birthday people from harm, family and friends would visit the birthday person and bring good thoughts and wishes. They believed that, in addition to their visits, giving gifts brought even more good cheer to ward off the evil spirits. Thus the birthday party custom began.
Once we reach adulthood we tend to ignore birthday celebrations because they are all too often seen as a sign of advancing years. However, just because you or your partner is grown-up doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a birthday party celebration.
Believe it or not, it can be just as much fun to plan an adult birthday party as it is to plan one for a child. If you have a family, then one of the first things you should consider is offloading your kids, perhaps to grandparents, for the night of the adult birthday party – that way it really can be just for adults. If you really appreciate something that a partner, close relative or friend has done, then what better way to show your appreciation by holding a adult birthday party in their honor.
If the party is to be a surprise birthday party for your partner/husband/wife then try to arrange for alternative parking arrangements on the night. Too many cars outside the birthday party house will immediately alert the other person that something is going on. Nowadays there is a lot of interest in online casinos and a themed casino adult birthday party could be a great way of celebrating the event with your significant other and a group of friends. When you intend to hold this type of birthday party then it may not be the best idea to try and keep it as a surprise – you’ll probably ask everyone to dress as though they were attending a proper casino and that often involves dressing the part.
Either contact your local casino regarding an adult birthday party or ask if any of the croupiers do contract work on their nights off, or get a friend or relative who knows something about casinos to play the part of croupier. You can carry the casino party theme right through the party from the casino birthday party invitations to small tokens of appreciation for your guests. Personalized birthday party invitations with poker cards images make nice adult birthday party invitations and will give guests an idea of what is to come. If your budget will allow, then you might want to kick off the evening with a full dinner and waitresses rather than buffet or finger type food. Don’t forget to include alcohol on your list of essentials when you are planning an adult birthday party.
When you have a casino theme adult birthday party, it is a good idea to define a clear area of the house where those guests who prefer not to play casino games can enjoy chatting and perhaps listening to music. You could have casino type nameplates where guests are to sit if you do decide to give a meal – provide some wine with the dinner as this is an adult birthday party. Try to ensure that you have space to relax and spend time with your partner once the birthday party is underway. Just because this is a birthday party for an adult doesn’t mean to say that you shouldn’t take time to enjoy yourself too.
