For my cousin's 11th birthday, she had a theatre party. INVITATIONS: For the invitations, we printed out pictures of theatre masks from the computer. Then on them we wrote... You're invited to star in a theatre production from (NAME) and Co. Then added the date, time, place ect. We tied a glow in the dark star on it (from dollar store)and sent them in the mail. DECORATIONS: The colors we were using were red, black, and gold. The whole party had those theme colors so we bought streamers, balloons, and tableclothes in those colors. We put them around the room and then put up a sign on the front door that said... AUDITIONS INSIDE! ACTIVITIES: After all the girls got there, we each got a white plastic mask to decorate with feathers, beads, stickers, and markers. And later we all got to design and paint a picture frame. GAMES: One game we played was Ring of Fire. To play, everyone sits in a circle and you pick one person to be it". "It" picks one person and tries to make them laugh. After one minute of trying to make them laugh "it" has to try someone else. But if they do make them laugh then the person who laughed would then be "it". Another party game you can play is Murder in the Dark. First you take some paper and write on one piece THEIF. Then on one other one you write DETECTIVE. On all the other ones (depending on how many other people there are) you write PEDESTRIAN. Then you put them all in a bucket and everyone picks one. The detective goes out of the room and you turn the lights off. Then everyone starts walking around while the theif who is unknown tags people without being noticed. If you get tagged you have to lay down on the floor and stay for that whole round. If you think you hear the detective coming everyone lays down. The detective then gets three tries to guess who the theif is. Then everyone puts their papers back and you start again. COSTUMES: We all got to choose our costume out of a big trunk and then we made up our own talent show/play. The adults took pictures of us and then we made another. PARTY SNACKS: For the snacks we just had cheese doodles chips pretzels and candy in different bowls around the room. We had to refill them a lot though! CAKE: We had pizza for dinner and then we had cake and ice cream. We had an ice cream bar with eight different flavors of ice cream and TONS of toppings. FAVORS: For favors we got the frames we had made with our funky pictures in them the masks and a DVD movie. The party was a big hit!"
