You don't really need to come up with new dishes. You can simply rename and redecorate regular party fare, like spaghetti, burgers, hotdogs and cupcakes, to make them look and sound according to the theme you chose. If you have a Halloween party, for instance, you can renamed spaghetti into 'blood and guts'. Fifteenth sign is when the only balloon animals he or she can come up with are snakes and a "snake on acid." The top three signs are when his or her business cards are inclusive of the phrase "From the Mind of Stephen King"; when his or her price list includes an "around the world" and a "lap dance"; and lastly, when every one of his or her balloon animals are lubricated and ribbed. However, parents must realize that hosting an outdoor party can also come at quite a cost. While you do get to save on having to clean up indoors after the party, having an outdoor event also comes with a certain price tag. Before you decide on the place to hold your child's outdoor party, you might want to ask the venue owner and package planner how much it will cost you per child and if you will still have to pay for the guardians that stay for the party. Now, this doesn't mean that you should spend so much money on hiring so many people to provide excitement at your event. Even just one person, a very good host or a magician, for instance, is enough. It would be a big plus for you if you are able to find a person who can provide all sorts of entertainment and who is not confined to just one "trick". The most common children's party games include Pin the Tail on the Donkey, Hit the Pinata, and relay races. You can stick to this lineup, but you can also modify these games to fit your theme (if you have one) or to coincide with your child's gender. For instance, if your child is a girl, you can modify Pin the Tail on the Donkey into Pin the Bow on the Princess, or whatever tickles your fancy. Kids are easy to please, so you don't really need to go all out on this department. In fact, the one thing that you can actually focus on with the food is how they look. Children judge food initially based on their appearance, so you might want to make them enticing. Enticing, for kids, means cartoony and colorful, so you can go play with food coloring if you want.
