My sweet nine year old is turning 10 and I want to give her the best birthday party she has ever had because 10 is a special age after all. She will be in her double digits for almost the rest of her life! Got any great b-day ideas? Hurry we have to get the invitations out in 2 weeks! Thanks:)

I threw a Candy Land party for my last daughters double digit party. I used the game story as my travel through Candy Land in search of King Kandy. After each character paragraph read, we'd play a quick game, read another paragraph, another game. I had the basement decorated thickly in streamers and balloons to give a candy land feel. We ended the party watching Barbies Sugar Plum Princess (since the king is finally freed). This was a sleepover.
For the cake, I made an ice cream/ cake cake. The bottom circle pan and top small circle pan were made of cake and the middle pan was peppermint ice cream. I decorated with egg white fluff frosting and sprinkled licorice, gum drops, crushed peppermint candies, and upright lollipops around. We had molasses cookies and peanut brittle for snacks. It was a big hit with all girls ages 9-12. It may sound young, but I felt it was the last real kid party she'd ever have.
You could have a cheerleading party? There are lots of companies that do them if thats not her thing how about going to the zoo? If she likes sports how about ice skating or roller blading?
My daughter's tenth birthday is coming up and I want this one to be special. It has to be at home.
It can't be a sleepover, cooking, laser tag, tea party, bowling, or swimming. Please help.My daughter is having a birthday on March 28; she is turning ten. I don't have anything planned. What do I do?

See what your kid likes or watches to find ideas. You might not know to much about this century, but by sure to type lol in everyones invite.
My daughter is turning 10 and I don't know what to do. She does not want a sleepover.

For a ten year old birhday parties are easy. Since she doesn't want a sleepover she might just want a small party with her close friends. If that is the case you could take her and her friends out to dinner or a movie. If she is girly you could take her out to a spa. Hope this helped you decide.
My baby girl is turning 10 in half a month and I have nothing planned for her birthday party. Please help me.

You could do a cheap sleepover with movies a makeover a pizza or a McDonalds or you could do a little disco using the tv or the radio with a little buffet
My oldest daughter is turning 10 in 3 weeks and she wants a big party. When I say big I mean lots of prep and trouble; but she only wants 3-7 friends. She has said no to bowling or rollerblading. I suggested spa party, but she said that is a bit boring and not very exciting. She says "yes" to a sleepover, but she wants more than the average sleepover.
She is a feminine type and so are her friends, but not too fussy. She is in a new school and has new friends so she wants to impress them with her party, but not to much trouble for me. Any ideas are welcome!

Do you have a mall nearby? One of my daughters favorite parties was a mall scavenger hunt. We broke up into teams, they had cameras and had to go through the mall searching for different items that they either (cheaply) purchased with money I provided (a certain flavor gumball from the candy store) or took a picture with (all of them crammed in the "rocket" in the kids rides). I had an adult with each group for safety and verification. Each team had a different list that I went to the mall and made up the week before. About 7 items each, but you could share tasks, but in a different order on the list. You could then go back to your house for pizza and cake and the sleepover with a movie.
Tweens love to try "grown-up" pampering. Working with foster homes I've had to be inventive with a small budget. If you have a hairdresser or nail school nearby you can ask for a student to come pamper the girls with hair chalk or manicures/pedicures. They need hours to pass their course so you usually can find one or two to give you a hand.
My daughter is turning 10 in 16 days, but I have nothing planned for her party. Please help me!

What kind of party should I have for my daughter who is turning ten?
By Jane
My daughter had a dance party with her friend's dance mixes and she had a lot of fun. You could play random games and DANCE!
My daughter is turning 10 in 2 weeks. She doesn't really know what she wants, but it definitely has to be her best party ever. She is still a playful little girl and still loves her dolls and make up. What theme would do for this character? Do you think she's outgrown the princess and fairies theme? Please help with suggestions for this whole party preparation in its last minutes.

My daughter will be 10 soon. I find that the older they get the less you have to do. As far as themes we stopped that about two years ago. I now focuss on colors when it comes to birthday parties. This year will we be doing a "Girls Day Out" she has invited 3 friends and we will do lunch, Movies, a trip to the arcade and back home for cake and ice cream.
I don't know what to do. She wants a sleepover with 3 friends, but I am saying no I have to think about it. Also she wants to make her own pizza and lemonade and Coke, etc. I don't want to spent too much. What do I do? Please give me solutions.

Well, I am thinking that this is a very small and low budget request. Three friends is not a very large number, very manageable, and making your own pizza with Coke or lemonade for drinks is going to be very low cost. I think your daughter has asked for a very modest party and I think that you should allow her to have this. The girls can play board games or watch movies for entertainment, and stay up late and giggle. Be a sport, mom, and say yes. It takes so little to make happy memories for your children.
Her request doesn't sound out of line. Why not give her a budget and let her price the treats? It'll be a good learning time and if she sees it's too much, maybe she would be happy cutting back but still have her friends come over. You know the friends are the best part of a birthday!
My son turned 11 this year and wanted an endless guest list. I found a cheap place to rent ( our local YMCA) and didn't have to pay per guest, just for use of the gym. They played for two hours, and gobbled cake and punch,then water from the fountain when the punch was gone. He said it was the best party because he could invite ALL of the friends he could think of!
My daughter's having a 10th birthday soon and I was wondering what the best party activities might be. I would like to know what type of party to have, by type I mean sleepover, scavenger hunt, etc.
By Lea
Sleepover. I would have her pick out some of her closest friends and invite them over. You don't even need a venue! Just let them have fun!
