Try www.firemountainbeads.com I also make and sell lower priced jewelry items and I often find unbelievable sales on this website... they also offer discounts depending on the number of items you buy. I usually grab up clearance items whenever I can but their regular prices are the lowest I've found anywhere yet. ... View related article. |

It would be really easy and look very nice if you printed the greeting on a piece of vellum paper slightly smaller then the card and affixed it with a piece of ribbon. A co-worker did this with her plantable wedding invitations and it turned out beautifully. ... View related article. |

| RE: Kids Movie Theme Birthday Party |
|
If your nephew likes the movie "barnyard" it would be an easy and inexpensive theme to follow... simple construction paper decorations would even work... ex: in the main party room or play area make a construction paper fence maybe a barn for the background... hang some cut out clouds etc. find images of the characters on the web (use google images; barnyard) and cut them out to add to the fence. the cake could be simple barn made from one square cake and a second square cake cut diagonally and rotated above the square to form the roof... games could be very easy as well... perhaps have the children find "eggs" with goodies in them from the hens in the movie (very easy since most three year olds are familiar with this from easter). The invitations could also be as simple as printing a picture of a barn similar to the one in the movie on card stock, cutting it out, and then pasting the printed invite content on the back... you could even ask guests to dress up like farmers. Healthy vegetable snacks etc. would fit right into this theme as well. ... View related article. |

| RE: Ideas For Son's High School Graduation Party |
|
If you live in a home/place that allows for it you should have a large campfire... guys that age love bonfires and snacks are real easy-s'mores. When my step-brother graduated my parents had a canopy in one part of the backyard with food and tables and the bonfire with seating, s'more supplies all around... it worked great because when my brothers friends arrived they were not "bored" hanging around with family members they didn't know yet they were close enough that everyone was intermingling and having a great time. My parents also allowed a few of his friends and some family members to pitch tents and she had bagels and juice for everyone in the morning. If your son is one that would enjoy something sentimental, ask everyone to write down one memory of your son's school career on an index card (include in invites) and then either scrap book them with pictures from the party as a gift later or stick them in a photo album for a gift later. Also, if you would like to say something or make a toast without embarrassing your son have a bottle of sparkling juice on each table and make a quick toast... not using wine allows he and his friends to be involved and not be so embarassing... my family also asked if anyone else would like to say some words and a few of my brothers friends got involved, it was not only nice but a fun way to acknowledge his accomplishment. ...
