So your birthday's coming up and you want it to be a smashing success, but how do you choose a great birthday party theme that reflects your creativity and uniqueness? We have a few ideas that we think you will really enjoy and that will get everyone talking about how cool you are.

Ideas for Theme Parties

• Birthday Party Theme 1: Bells and Whistles Bells and Whistles is a day of fun in the sun for those who love active parties. Think races and athletic competition - relay races, bike races, long jump, etc.
• Birthday Party Theme 2: Flour Power Another active birthday party theme is flour power. No, its not a baking contest - it's the game of tag but using balls made from stocking and powder. As each guest arrives at the party (wearing a black T-shirt) they are given a flour ball and when the time comes to play tag they throw this at other party guests. The person with the cleanest T-shirt at the end wins.
• Birthday Party Theme 3: Cold Feet This is a really cool birthday party theme for those blazing summer days. Two small pools are filled with a little water and lots of ice. Each member of two different teams then take it in turns to race against each other to get the most ice out of the pool in 60 seconds. Once each person on both teams has had a chance to do this, the team with the best results wins.

Theme Party Invitations

You have come up with a smashing idea for a real blow out party but how are you going to tell people about this?
