How to Have a Birthday Party
Birthdays come and go with each passing year, so how do you have a party that will always be memorable? Here are some tips to get you started.
Steps
Pick a theme. You can go with a Hawaiian theme, a Chinese theme, or an adult tea party for women only. For kids, there are so many ideas out there, from Sponge Bob and Jimmy Neutron, to princesses and pirates. Go to your local party store for ideas, then find invitations to go with your theme.
Choose decorations - streamers, balloons, candles, even glass beads and sand for a pool or beach party. Just think of your theme: glass beads can be sea bubbles, small pebbles spray-painted gold can be the treasure for a pirate party, nuts and bolts in a vase with a candle holder or a bowl of toy cars on top of it makes for a racing party any little boy or girl will love.
Serve food relating to your theme (such as Chinese food for a Chinese party theme,) or serve "a little of everything" to please everyone.
Find games. Games always seem to be the hit of the party, and many party stores have tons of party games on their shelves. Find one or a few that you could picture the guests playing.
Give goody bags or parting gifts. For kids, you can give them stickers, crayons, bubbles, toy cars, plastic tiaras, yo-yo's, etc. For adults, you can give journals, small baskets of mixed gifts, picture frames, or whatever you think your guests will like.
Create place settings. Place cards are easy to make. Use a seashell with each guests name painted on them, use walnuts(with the card sticking out of it) small terra cotta pots, or a small handful of sand that holds a place card. Think about your party, and the ideas that you can come up with.
Tips
You can look in books at the library or book store, or surf the internet for more ideas.
Warnings
If throwing a party for children, and young kids or babies are going to be there, make sure the goody bags contain gifts that they cannot choke on.

Info for Armonk Limousine Service
The Town of North Castle is situated at the narrow waist of Westchester County where the corner of the State of Connecticut extends west toward the Kensico Reservoir. The bulk of the Town's land area lies north of this corner, but the most densely populated part of the Town lies to the south. The Kensico Reservoir separates these two parts of North Castle.
The Town has been divided into three distinct geographic areas: North White Plains, Armonk, and the Eastern District (the hamlet area in the Eastern District is referred to as Banksville). North White Plains is the most urban portion of the Town. The Eastern District retains its low-density residential character.
The seat of Town government is located in Armonk. This is why North Castle is often referred to as Armonk though the town has other equally beautiful and thriving locations including the hamlets of Banksville, North White Plains and Middle Patent in its area of 26 square miles.
Along King Street one can easily find the 400-acre world headquarters of IBM Corporation. IBM is Westchester's largest private employer, with about 9,000 workers. Besides IBM, North Castle also has in its distinguished roster of conglomerates Swiss Re and the Municipal Bond Insurance Association. Municipal Bond bought land on Cooney Hill to make way for additional corporate space. These corporations help keep residential property taxes down, as does New York City, which also owns 3,000 acres in North Castle, including the Kensico Reservoir.
Place Names
Armonk originated from Armonck, the name the Siwanoy Indians gave to the Byram River. Another theory explains the name Armonk is derived from another Mohican word, 'Cohamoog', which means 'the wide, flat place where the water runs'.
Many of North Castle’s locations were named after the Native Indian sachems (or chiefs): Wampus Pond and stream from Sachem Wampus, Mianus Gorge and River from Sachem Mayano, Kensico Reservoir and the lost village of Kensico from Sachem Cokenseko, and Coman Hill School from Sachem Cohamong.
North Castle's name is said to derive from a barrier built by the Mohican people to protect themselves from enemy attacks. This stood on the same hill where the IBM Headquarters can be found. The site was called "North Fort" and later, because early settlers felt it resembled a castle, it became "North Castle".
