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.

Inside the Jefferson Valley Mall
Jefferson Valley-Yorktown, New York
Jefferson Valley is located in Yorktown, NY in Westchester County. The town is named after the Battle of Yorktown, which was near Yorktown, Virginia. The town of Yorktown has a splendid historical heritage beginning with the earliest known inhabitants: Mohegan, Osceola, Amwalk, Kitchawan and Mohansic, which are all familiar names of local places. The Mohegans of the Algonquin Nation had habitations within the boundary of Yorktown.
Historically, the area known as Jefferson Valley, in addition to the village proper, included a large portion of northeastern Yorktown, comprised of all the farms on Wood Street and Route 6N, north of the Putnam county border, all those on Old Route 6 (Main Street) and Old Jefferson Valley Road, from the Somers line in the east, to about the present location of Lee Road in the west; and also, all the farms along Gomer Street, south to Cording Road.
The valley itself is defined principally by Indian Hill on the north, with its highest elevation of 751 feet and on the south by the hills which Gomer and Quinlan Streets traverse. (It is to be noted that what is meant here as Gomer Street is the road before 1965, more of which shall be spoken on further.) As one would expect, these hills afford magnificent views, the most accessible of which is the one from Quinlan Street. From there one can see Bear Mountain, the Highlands, Carmel and even the foothills of the Berkshires.
At the foot of Indian Hill lies Lake Osceola. A glacial remnant of the last ice age, it once formed part of a large lake which stretched westward to Mohegan. Prior to its present name, which it had acquired by the 1880's, Lake Osceola had borne several other designations, including "Round Pond" and "Jefferson Pond."
