The World's Largest Collection of Birthday Party Ideas

My daughter Asheley turned 13 on March 5th of this year and we had a party that blew all of her friend's minds. It was a "Fear Factor" themed party. I went to this international market called "Jungle Jim's" in Cincinatti and purchased most of the gross things that we needed to make the party perfect.  I bought about 50 chicken feet, anchovie larvae, huge salmon caviar, tofu noodles, and fresh baby squid. The first game was to retrieve as many marbles as you can out of a large bucket of green Jello using only your feet. We called that game snotty toes. For the second game I placed 5 keys into a 5 gallon container and filled it to the top with the anchovie larvae, caviar, squid and tofu noodles. The object was to get the right key to open a locked box in the shortest amount of time.  The next game was the best! We called it our version of bobbing for apples.... I put the chicken feet(boiled the night before for safety of course) into a large tote and filled it with water. I then put around 100 large grapes throughout the feet.  The kids had to grab as many grapes as they could using only their mouths. They had 20 seconds to do it. After that game we turned out the lights and played strobe light musical chairs. That was awesome! The last game that we played was popping balloons filled with shaving cream.  There were 2 "Winner" papers in the balloons.  The party was a HUGE success and our friends are still talking about it today.  We made sure and had the food (Domino's pizza) before we started the games. Oh, we also had a pinata filled with chocolates. We served cake at the end while my daughter opened her gifts.  I provided 2 prizes for each game, for the first and second place finishers. The party ended up costing around $400 dollars and it was worth it all because this was her 13th birthday party.  It would have cost more but I was able to use my Church's fellowship hall and gymnasium.
