We would like to hold it at a park this year. Do you know of any good parks to hold my child's birthday party in The San Jose area?<br /> Sara T., San Jose, CA </span> <p class="Style110">&nbsp;</p> <p class="Style110"><strong>Dear Sara:</strong><br /> <br /> I have done dozens of kids <strong>birthday parties in San Jose parks</strong>, There are a few factors to consider before you reserve the location. The park location should be easy to find, avoid far away parks that are hard to find. Even if the park has all that you want in it. For the park to be considered kids friendly, it needs to be easily accessible. The parking should be close by. Trails to the picnic area should be easily accessible by strollers. A handicapped sign is usually a good guarantee that access is build into the park layout. Is there a playground that is age appropriate for the kids age group that you are inviting to your party? If not, would the park permit you to rent a <a href="http://www.californiapuppets.com/resources/party-jumpers-jumper-rental.html" title="san jose party jumpers"><em><strong>jumpy house</strong></em></a>, set up a volleyball net etc. Shade is big factor in the south bay, San Jose parks can get very hot in the summer months. Shade should always be considered year around. Here are a few links to some San Jose parks that you may want to consider for your kids birthday party.

Cakes are like a birthday gift for all your guests to enjoy. Every kid or even their parents who come to the birthday party look forward to some delicious well made <strong>birthday cake</strong>; it&rsquo;s an expected birthday gift for all.<br /> <br /> But for you as the host the first thing to decide upon before selecting the type of gourmet birthday cake is to select a party theme and the design for the birthday cake would fall into place automatically.<br /> <br /> <img hspace="8" height="246" width="260" align="left" title="Princesses Birthday Cakes" alt="Princesses Birthday Cakes" src="http://www.californiapuppets.com/resources/images/princesses-birthday-cakes.jpg" />Many people opt for <strong>online cake ordering</strong>. Online cake ordering has been made easier with interactive online cake ordering tools. A cheaper alternative to online cake ordering is to make the cake yourself. It&rsquo;s simple enough that you can involve the birthday child in the process. What gives a cake its style, look and taste is the icing. So make sure you choose a proper icing technique based on the theme of the party. Birthday cakes come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and some of them can be made at home easily with the minimal effort.<br /> <br /> An all time favorite for most children especially the girls is the <strong>princesses Castle Cake</strong>. So let&rsquo;s go ahead and get one ready for the occasion in a matter of minutes. Now you too can make your own <strong>gourmet birthday cake</strong>.<br /> Once you are all set to bake a <strong>princesses castle cake</strong> at home, take a square shaped sponge cake and place it on a large platter. The next thing you need to do is frost it. As you may already know frosting helps to seal the moisture in cake and adds additional flavor and texture to it as well.<br /> <br /> Ok once the square cake is frosted, layer it with a second square cake. Now how do we get the look of a castle? It&rsquo;s simple. Place one cup cake each at the four corners of the square cake. And then to give each of the four corners the look of a turret top each one with an ice cream cone turned on its head.<br /> <br /> Now its time to frost the cup cakes as well as the cones. Once that is done give the castle walls a textured look by scratching them with a fork. Go ahead and spray some green sugar on the cones and then top each cone with some nice chocolate sauce. To give it a much better outline arrange some wafers on the cake to make them look like doors and windows.<br /> <br /> To add the final touches enfold the cake with some colorful jelly and green shredded coconut. Its now time to sing the birthday rhyme and let the party guests take their fill from your <strong>gourmet cake</strong>. Goodie Bags, Birthday Party Tips http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/californiapuppets/10453 http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/californiapuppets/10453 <h1><font face="Tahoma">Goodie Bags</font></h1> <br /> Offering <strong>children goodie bags</strong> may be expected in your circle of family and friends. These <a href="http://www.californiapuppets.com/resources/birthday-party-supplies.html" title="birthday party favors">party favors</a> have become very popular over the years, so much so that some kids maybe somewhat disappointed for not leaving the party with a <span id="lw_1251371201_0"><strong>goodie bag</strong></span>.<br /> <br /> <p>If you do decide to include party favors at your party, here are a couple of tips you may want to consider:</p> <p>If you are doing a particular theme for your kids party, then the goodie bags should preferably match your party theme.</p> <p>Always prepare the goodie bags ahead of time.</p> <p>The bags are better placed when visible by the exit door.</p> <p>Always hand the party favors before the kids leave the party, and never before. This gives a very nice close to your party and makes it memorable. It also helps the kids for whom goodbyes are a little difficult. Favors given during the party may create hard feelings if they are not identical. I have seen many <strong>party favor</strong> toys trampled underfoot. These favors were usually given out too early during the party.</p> <p>You can always purchase pre-packaged goodie bags online. But purchasing the favors and putting the bags together yourself can be a lot of fun and will almost certainly save you money.</p> <p>A great way to maximize the fun and the savings on goodie bags is to get the small bags from your local grocery store for very little money. And have the <strong>kids decorate them</strong> as part of the party activities. You can also easily decorate them yourself before hand. Stock up on small toys, trinkets and sweets from you dollar store. This option is local and gives you plenty of flexibility.</p> <p>Please always consider age range when buying small toys. I hope that your next party is filled with fun and joy. All the best&hellip;</p>

Party Tips, Goodie Bags Children Goodie Bags, Goodie Bags, Birthday Party Tips Kids Birthday Party Supplies Tips http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/californiapuppets/10381 http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/californiapuppets/10381 <p class="Style14">I am often asked by parents about how to best &nbsp;choose a <strong>party supplies company</strong>&nbsp;for their&nbsp;child'sbirthday&nbsp;party.<br /> Everyone wants to get a great&nbsp;deal from the <strong><a href="http://www.californiapuppets.com/resources/party-jumpers-jumper-rental.html">jumper rental company</a></strong>&nbsp;or the party supplies rental.&nbsp;Whether you are renting a hot dog machine, popcorn machine, or a <span id="lw_1251370383_0">cotton candy machine</span>, or even a tent and chairs.&nbsp;You deserve to get your money's worth without any compromise on quality or safety.</p> <p class="Style14">Avoid ordering &nbsp;any products by simply filling up an online form. It is &nbsp;best to &nbsp;pick up the phone and call the company directly or send an email asking specific questions. Ask &nbsp;if the company is insured and licenced. Make sure to ask if you will be receiving the exact products that are pictured on the website.</p> <p class="Style14">If renting a <span id="lw_1251370383_1">bounce house</span> make sure it is made of Vinyl not nylon. If <span id="lw_1251370383_2">renting a tent</span> also make sure that it is of professional quality and that it is fire retardant as required by many states.&nbsp;There are specific safety rules for tent and canopy rentals.&nbsp;Ask the rental company about their cleaning procedures. Most rental products need to be cleaned and sterilised before getting rented out again.&nbsp; </p> <p class="Style14"><span id="lw_1251370383_3">Food concession equipment</span> rentals are of particular concern. Especially meat cooking devices such as hot dog and pizza cooking machines. A <strong>professional rental company</strong> will usually volunteer their cleaning procedures to emphasize health and safety issues. If they don't volunteer that information, then you should ask. Please be vigilant and visually inspect the machines before use. No matter how careful the company is, mistakes can happen. I am not a huge fan of <span id="lw_1251370383_4">cotton candy machines</span>. They can easily ruin a good planned party. With all that sugar, the kids can't help but run wild. Sometimes in circles. Cotton candy machines should never be rented for indoor parties in particular.&nbsp;</p> With that said, go out and have a safe and wonderful time at your next party!

Birthday Party Jumpers I am often asked by parents about how to best choose a party supplies company for their child'sbirthday party. Everyone wants to get a great deal from the jumper rental company or the party supplies rental. Birthday Party Jumpers , Jumber Rental Tips http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/californiapuppets/10368 http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/californiapuppets/10368 <p class="Style14">I get asked often from many of my customers about <strong><a href="http://www.californiapuppets.com/resources/party-jumpers-jumper-rental.html">Jump house rentals</a></strong>. Which bounce house or jumper should I get for my child's birthday party?</p> <p class="Style14">Bounce houses are now offered in numerous forms.<br /> So much so that it can be hard to choose which one to have at your kids' birthday party. moon bounces are offered now in many different themes, shapes, sizes, colors, and styles.</p> <p class="Style14">You can rent bouncers that have slides in them. Some even come with water slides or built in inflatable characters. </p> <p class="Style14">Make sure that the jumper you choose will be set up for you by the rental company. Some kids like their jumpers so much that some parents may decide to buy one. Buying a jump house can be burdensome as you must set it up, store it and maintain it. Setting up these heavy jumpers can be back-breaking. Commercial jumpers are made from vinyl, consumer jumpers are made from nylon. Vinyl is much more durable than Nylon. Some party rental places will try to rent you the consumer units as commercial units, so make sure that you ask if the jumper is made from vinyl or nylon?. It certainly makes a big difference, not only in safety but also in product quality.</p> <p class="Style14">Almost every cartoon character around is represented in jumpers now. Most kids like the characters that are popular for their age group. check out this jumpers list from a small local rental company</p> <div class="Style14"><strong>Princess, Sleeping beauty,&nbsp;Cars,&nbsp;Elmo,Winnie the Pooh,&nbsp;Chargers,&nbsp;Spiderman,&nbsp;Incredibles,&nbsp;Madagascar,&nbsp;Hannah Montana,&nbsp;Transformers,&nbsp;Tinkerbell</strong></div> <div class="Style14"><br /> </div> <div class="Style14"> <h2><br /> <span class="Style60">Combos</span></h2> </div> <div class="Style14"><strong>Long Slide,&nbsp;4in1,&nbsp;Pink Slide,&nbsp;Art Panel Slide,&nbsp;Sport Slide,&nbsp;Tropical Slide,&nbsp;Elmo Combo,&nbsp;Tinker Bell,&nbsp;Disney Princess.</strong></div> <h2 align="left" class="Style61">Jumper</h2> <p align="left" class="Style14">Castle#1,&nbsp;Castle#2,Castle#3,&nbsp;Castle#4,&nbsp;<strong>Tropical,&nbsp;Jungle,&nbsp;Blue Clues,&nbsp;Dora&nbsp;Spiderman,&nbsp;Sponge Bob,&nbsp;Superman,&nbsp;Batman,&nbsp;Princes,&nbsp;Tigger</strong>&nbsp;</p> <h3 align="left" class="Style61">Waterslides</h3> <p align="left" class="Style14">16ft Waterslide,&nbsp;12ft Tropical Waterslide and the list can go on and on...</p> <p class="Style14">No matter what you do, your kids will love a jumper&nbsp;at their party. It lets them be very imaginative and jump to their heart&rsquo;s desire. You simply can not go wrong with renting an inflatable jumper for your <span id="lw_1251370872_8">kids birthday party</span>!</p>

Because animals are loved by children and they are so easy to find everywhere, a <strong><a href="javascript:void(0);/*1247314142865*/">Jungle Animal Safari</a></strong> is a terrific party idea.</p> <p>Follow thest <strong>6</strong> simple steps to throw a fabulous jungle safari birthday party theme for your kids.</p> <p><strong>Step 1</strong></p> <p>Create a Jungle atmosphere by hanging vines and jungle decorations from the ceiling or off branches out in the backyard. Use some animal print decorations to add a sense of wild adventure to any party venue. Visit your favorite party supply store and load up on the wide variety of&nbsp;<strong>Jungle Safari supplies</strong>. From Safari plates and napkins to vinyl inflatable jungle animals.</p> <p><strong><span>Step 2</span></strong></p> <p>You can adapt just about any game to fit your <strong>jungle theme</strong>. Instead of pin the tail on the donkey, make it pin the tail on the monkey. Musical chairs with jungle music or kids taking turn drumming. Hide little jungle animals throughout your yard or your party venue. And lead the kids on a wild safari adventure to discover all sorts of hidden animals for them to keep. Don&rsquo;t forget to get some little plush monkeys or birds that you can hide in the branches or in high places. Make sure that there is enough loot for everyone present. Safari or animal Hats are great fun to distribute as the kids first arrive to the party or for them to take home just before they leave.</p> <p>Older kids like to think of themeselves as cool and very independent. Kids from 10 to 12 usually have an opinon on what kind of party they want. Make sure that you plan with them all activities of the party, as they will be more inclined to participate. Make sure that you have enough adult supervision for all age groups and limit your party to a particular area of your home.</p> <p><strong><span>Step 3</span></strong></p> <p>Each child can choose a different animal hat. They can attempt to draw or color that animal, and then have them take turns and act out the animal they have chosen. Go wild with the animal sounds. Start out having all the kids make simple animal sounds all together, like a chicken or a dog. That would usually bring them out of their shell. Then move on to the jungle animal sounds.</p> <p><strong><span>Step 4</span></strong></p> <p>There are plenty of Jump houses to rent that carry a jungle theme. A simple search for a safari jumper, safari jump houses, jungle bounce house or any related term would lead you to a local party rental company.</p> <p><strong><span>Step 5</span></strong></p> <p>There is a wide variety of Jungle Music and sound backgrounds widely available on the Internet as well. A Lion King Music track can be looped for great musical adventure. You can have the music in the background while playing games with the kids or during lunch or snack time.</p> <p><strong><span>Step 6</span></strong></p> <p>The Internet is a great resource for getting Safari Birthday Party Ideas. Here are just a few keywords that may aid you in your search. Just copy and paste these search terms onto your favorite search engine like Google, Yahoo or MSN:</p> <p><strong>Animal birthday Parties<br /> Animal Parties<br /> Animal Party<br /> Animals Birthday Party<br /> Party Animals Birthday Parties<br /> Party Animal show<br /> Animal show<br /> kids Animal show<br /> funny kids Animal show<br /> party jungle<br /> Jungle Birthday Party<br /> Party jungle characters<br /> Jungle Theme Birthday Party<br /> Jungle Animals Birthday Party</strong></p>

San Jose Jungle Safari Party Themes SF Bay Area Kids Birthday Party Themes Planning http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/californiapuppets/10021 http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/californiapuppets/10021 <h1><span class="Style2"><span class="Style19">Birthday Party Themes Planning Tips </span></span></h1> <br /> The most important ingredient to a succesfull <strong><a href="javascript:void(0);/*1241203828974*/"><span id="lw_1238843816_0">kids birthday party</span></a></strong> is organaization. Like most projects, <span id="lw_1238843816_1">birthday party planning</span> obviously requires some planning. Good planning can save you time and money, but most importantly it will save you from last minute panic. One of the simplest tools to aid you in organizing your children's party is party themes. Themed parties bring harmony to your party atmosphere. It's not only a load of fun, it aloso gives you a premise within which to plan your <span id="lw_1238843816_2">birthday party invitations</span>, costumes, food, games and even entertainment. So let's dive in and you too, can produce a successful children's party. Let you creativity soar and you'll produce a fabulous party that would be memorable to children and adults alike. <h2 class="Style19">Choosing a kids party theme:</h2> <div class="Style14">Start out by thinking about what your child likes or dislikes. Does your child like animals, trucks, dinosaurs, fairytales, pirates etc. You do not have to pressure the child to participate in all the decisions. Use your judjement and do some brainstorming before you </div> <div class="Style14">&nbsp;</div> <div class="Style14">ask the child for input as he/she will look for your opinion and advise first. </div> <div class="Style14">&nbsp;</div> <div class="Style14">Consider these points as you plan your kids party theme activities:Your child is unique: Regardless of age, is your child still develping hand eye coordination? If so, do not choose games that would be too hard to complete. You could choose a simple art project that the kids can take home with them. &nbsp;If it's a pirate theme for example, then the kids can colour or draw a pirate's ship, parrot, island, scene, treasure etc. If your child is very active, energetic and can't be confined, then rent a pirate jump house or plan outdoor activities such as a treasure hunt. You child's personality can help you define you party theme.<br /> <br /> <h2><span class="Style19">Age Group:</span></h2> <br /> If you are planning a toddler birthday party, young children have a limited <span id="lw_1238843816_3">attention span</span> so the activities need to be kept brief. The party should be planned around usual nap times. The whole party should be kept short, as the parents get tired of the constent watch. Older kids, ages six to nine are extremely curious and love discovering new things. You can easily get them involved in games and <span id="lw_1238843816_4">arts and crafts projects</span>. As they are able to follow rules and understand instructions. an all boys party at this age can be a handfull, use caution and plan out their entire time; as things can easily get out of hand with this age group. </div> <p class="Style14">Older kids like to think of themeselves as cool and very independent. Kids from 10 to 12 usually have an opinon on what kind of party they want. Make sure that you plan with them all activities of the party, as they will be more inclined to participate. Make sure that you have enough adult supervision for all age groups and limit your party to a particular area of your home.</p> <div class="Style19"> <h2>Number of Guests: </h2> </div> <div class="Style14">&nbsp;</div> <div class="Style14">Each party is as individual as each child. Most parties invite between 12 to 18 kids to a birthday party. Eight is a very manageable number of invitees. If your child is more comfortable in smaller groups, then you can consider inviting just a couple of friends or relatives. But if your child loves social activitiy and wants his entire class to be present, then plan accordingly. Use common sense though, consider your party venue accordingly. Have more activities planned that you need, that way you always have back up ideas. </div> <div class="Style14">&nbsp;</div> <span class="Style14">The <span id="lw_1238843816_5">children birthday party</span> themes are used to help you and your child have a successful birthday party. The birthday theme should in no way restrict you. You could take the <span id="lw_1238843816_6">birthday party activities</span> form one theme, buy the <span id="lw_1238843816_7">birthday party supplies</span> from onother theme and adapt them to your own unique party. Use the suggestions that are most helpful to you and the ones that are most suitable for your child. </span>
