Well, ever since well... Forever, I have always wanted a big party like I saw on tv. Earlier this year my mom confronted me with the horrible wretched reality that a party of that caliber would not be possible because we can't be as lenieint on money as the people we may see on tv. Luckily I have been looking through this site and kept my options open and I think I found a great party that is suitible for my needs and my moms budget. Without further ado my plans for the party. INVITATIONS: in order to save money on those fancy invites and actually use the money for the actually party I just printed them up on my computer and they look pretty nice this way also. I invited 13 girls because I am turning 13 so that is 14 with me, an even number. DECORATIONS: since I am planning the sleepover part in a hotel I am planning on working somethig out with the manager so I can go in and decorate earlier than check in. I am gonna have blue and black balloons and streamers because that is the color scheme for my party. With white paint marker I am gonna write happy birthday on the black ones.  ACTIVITIES and games: well I am planning a mall scavenger hunt for my mall portion of the party. It's more of pictures. Each team gets two disposable cameras and take pictures of things lik everyone wearing sunglasses, or everyone in front of the pizza place with silly faces. These pictures are gonna be incorporated into something we do later. After the hunt we shop for a while because we told everyone to bring money with them. Then we eat at red robin and everyone not staying for the hotel leaves. We then ride somewhere that developed pictures quick while they are being developed we rent some DVDs and go to walmart for things we might want forthe remainder of the party. When we get the pictures we head back to the room and make little memorie picture things with our party pictures. We then watch some movies eat candy and cake and play sum other games if we want. Then we will talk and all that stuff until we all go I sleep (if ever) in the morning we will all eat breakfast and maybe swim at the pool.  COSTUMES: there will be NO costumes!!!  PARTY SNACKS: chips lots of chips soda lemonade and the various candy we picked out at walmart earlier CAKE: maybe an ice cream cake or a traditional cake that you can just pick up at kroger.  PARTY FAVORS: the little scrapbooks they made earlier also on the hunt I might give them money for each if them to buy a pair of crazy socks to wear the rest if the evening. Candy, pens and a 5 dollar mall gift card (possibly) Thanks for reading my idea hope it's helps u cause I'm sure I'm gonna have a blast!
