Question by MNL_1221: Party theme idea: "West Side Story"...?
Yesterday Jamie Foxx was on a late night talk show--Conan O'Brien, I think. He said his 40th birthday was coming up and he was throwing a party with the theme "New Jack City", his favorite movie. What a good idea!, I thought. My favorite movie is "West Side Story", and it's my favorite musical, too. My 50th birthday was last December, and though I haven't had the big party yet, I'm still thinking of doing it.
So...with "West Side Story" as the theme, how would you handle the party: food and cake, decorations, clothing, music, etc.?
Best answer:
Answer by thatsmartaznguy Ok West Side Story is like Romeo and Juliet
expect it is in New York and it is not 2 families
but 2 gangs
that should make it clearer

If you have a birthday party to plan, you may be wondering what to do for the party to make it extra special. It can be a lot of fun to do something exciting and unique to celebrate the big day. To make a birthday special and memorable, here are ten great birthday party ideas that will be a blast.
Party Idea #1 - Pool Party
One of the most exciting birthday party ideas, especially in the summer months, is a pool party. This is especially fun if you have a pool of your own. You can enjoy swimming, having a poolside barbecue, and everyone will stay cool. Just make sure you keep the gifts away from the water. If you want to have a pool party in the summer, find an indoor pool and hold your party there.
Party Idea #2 - Theme Park Party
Another fun idea for a birthday party is to have a theme park party. Consider taking the entire day to the theme park. Enjoy the fun of jumping on roller coasters and other rides together. This party idea is especially great for teenagers that enjoy going to theme parks on a regular basis.
Party Idea #3 - Dance Party
Is the birthday guy or gal someone who enjoys dancing? If so, then consider having a fun dance party for everyone. Rent a club or a party room that has plenty of open space, or if you have a big back yard, that is perfect too. Use a nightclub theme for the party to really set the atmosphere. You can either create a fun dance mix of your own or have fun hiring a dj to take care of all the music for the party.
Party Idea #4 - Fine Dining Party
When you are looking for great birthday party ideas, don't forget the idea of a fine dining party. Consider holding the party at a nice restaurant. Most of them will have party rooms that you can reserve. The great thing about this kind of a party is that it is elegant, fun, and you don't have to worry about a lot of work for the party either, since the restaurant takes care of all the food and the cleanup.
Party Idea #5 - Spa Party
If you are planning a party for a woman that enjoys being pampered or one that just doesn't have the time to be pampered, consider having a spa party at a local spa. This is a great party for the girls, and you can book massagers, manicures, pedicures, and more. At the end of the day, you will all go home feeling amazing after this type of a birthday party.
Party Idea #6 - Bowling Party
Does everyone in the family love bowling? If so, why not turn this into a great party idea. Consider renting the bowling alley near you and having the party there. Everyone can enjoy all the fun of bowling, and there is plenty of room for everyone on the party list at the bowling alley. You may want to find out if it is okay to bring in your own refreshments to the bowling alley before you completely plan out the party.
Party Idea #7 - Drive in Theater Party
Are you lucky enough to have a drive in theater in your area that still plays movies? If so, you can have a great party there. Many drive in theaters will allow you to bring coolers along with you. In this case, you can bring along drinks and some party snacks to enjoy while everyone watches the movie outdoors.
Party Idea #8 - Twilight Party
Twilight is a big hit, both the books and the movies, and this is a great party idea, especially if you are holding a party for a teenager. You can make the entire party Twilight themed. Consider holding the party at twilight and decorating with themed decorations. Have two teams at the party - team vampire and team werewolf, to make everything even more fun.
Party Idea #9 - Luau Party
If you have the ability to have your party outdoors, a Luau party is a wonderful idea. Take your backyard and turn it into a tropical paradise by using tiki lights, palm trees that are inflatable, and more. Have leis for all the guests when they arrive and have guests dress up in Hawaiian shirts or grass skirts as well. Be sure to have a limbo contest, have some hula dancing, and plenty of tasty Hawaiian food too.
Party Idea #10 - Wild West Party
Yet another birthday party idea is to hold a Wild West party, which will be a huge amount of fun. Tell the guests to dress up as cowgirls and cowboys for the party. Use hay bales, horseshoes, and checked tablecloths to make it feel like you are in the west. Throw on some good cowboy music and have some dancing as well.
These are just a few fun birthday party ideas that you can use to make a party special. Just remember, the most important part of the party is spending time with those you love.

A Birthday party idea helps families create birthday parties for their children for 0 or less.
Kid's birthday parties should be fun and enjoyable. That is what makes them memorable. All those smiles on the children's faces, most especially on the birthday celebrant can be quite memorable and a priceless gift that parents can give to their kids. Preparing for such parties can take some work.
There are some things that people have to consider when planning kid's birthday party. Whether it be a grand birthday bash or just a simple affair, the preparations and the planning that go into it can affect how it will fare out. When organizing a kid's birthday party, here are some valuable tips that might help ensure things would come out all right.
Before planning a kid's birthday party, the main organizers (usually the parents) should come up with a planned budget. All the preparations needed for the party would depend on how much the parents will be willing to spend. There is no sense in planning for a grand birthday party when the parents would not likely to afford a ll the expenses.
After the budget has been agreed upon, the next thing on the agenda would usually be the theme for the birthday party. This might not be too much of a problem (maybe except on the expense side) since the celebrant would have the first say. Parents can only suggest the available choices. It is important that the birthday celebrant has the right to choose. It is his or her special day after all.
After the theme, choosing a venue would be the next thing to consider. There are various choices available for parents. The simplest one would be having the party right at home. The home would provide the most ideal venue where parents and organizers may be able to have a bit more control over what happens during the party. What's more, a birthday party at home usually is less expensive than having it anywhere else.
But if a child has one too many birthday parties at home, then another venue may be considered. Having an outside venue for a birthday party may carry with it some excitement and several other means for kids to have fun. A good venue would be the local gym, a pizza parlor, or even at the miniature golf course. That would certainly add up some fun factor to any birthday party. The only disadvantage to such venues is that it can add up to a considerable expense for the organizers of the party.
Parents and organizers of the party should also consider the weather when planning an outdoor party. There can be times when it may not be as cooperative. A sudden rain shower can ruin even the most beautiful outdoor birthday party in just an instant. When planning an kid's birthday party out of doors, parent should try to check the weather conditions more frequently.
It would be better to ensure that this would not be a problem by having the kid's birthday party indoors. But if it is out of the question, it also pays to prepare for the unforeseen weather related events beforehand. Having an alternative venue nearby or just having umbrellas on hand may help. It is such measures that may help salvage an otherwise ruined kid's birthday party.
Weighing the risks involved may help prevent making the wrong decisions later on.

Latest research reveals that an average of 95 percent of American kids under 10 years have celebrated a birthday party and can tell you outrightly that kid’s birthday parties should be fun for kids.
But how can a kid’s birthday party be fun and exciting?
Here is a list of some ideas from party experts and ecstatic mothers that can surely make your kid’s birthday party a success. Allow a kid to plan a party for kids.
Do not take this idea literally and leave a child to plan alone for the party, instead, what it means is that to get a child involved in the planning process. A child’s concept of fun is a primary ingredient in planning for a successful party, especially since they are the main focus of the party itself.
Do away with the concept of making your own rules for the party or aiming to have the house remain clean even after the party. But with a child involved in the planning process, not only will you get good ideas for kids to enjoy, but you can also get that bargaining edge and get their cooperation for things that you may want to keep in order during the party.
Second, plan for a manageable party.
Try to limit the number of guests by considering the ratio of child –to –adult ratio, especially when trying to manage the party itself. Do take note that children are an active and restless lot and having some adults along, especially parents of the guests, may prove helpful in times of disorder and active play.
Also you may try to plan for activities involving parent and child, that way, everybody in the party can also have fun.
Third, it would be best to have a theme for the party.
Popular themes, be it favourite characters of the birthday child from a cartoon show, a book or a comic hero – it will create a more interesting and creative way to celebrate the party.
Kid’s birthday parties are intended to be fun and creative, so decorating the house with a themed backdrop or guests asked to come in costume, could be a fun and exciting way to drive interest among the kids and have them enjoy activities as well.
Fourth, always keep the children busy.
Kids enjoy it most when they are preoccupied with activities and games that will keep them moving around and have them spend their energy on the games and activities, rather than have them sit down and get bored for the whole duration of the party.
Keeping the party to a maximum of one hour should be enough, since you will also need the time to tidy up after the party. Think about it, the shorter the party time, the less mess you will likely clean up after the party.
Plan for more activities, instead of just having enough party games during the event. If you have time for 3 games, make it a point to think of two more events as a contingency plan.
There are certain activities that may be too tiring to conduct after a previous one, so with a contingency event ready, you may be able to make the necessary changes whenever necessary.
Lastly, have fun.
After all, this is the ultimate end for the birthday party, so make the most out of it and enjoy.
So, by now you know that kid’s birthday parties should be fun for kids.
