Answer 1

What about a Mexican Fiesta?  Play some salsa or mariachi music cds. You could have a pinata for the kids.  Margaritas for the adults.  Chips with salsa.  Make your own tacos or nachos bar.  Go to Oriental Trading Company for help with the decorations.

Answer 4

A fun theme is like a 60's 70,s or 80's themed party would be pretty fun. everyone dressing in that theme and some fun games with retro decorations and music. That's just my take.

Answer 5

Everyone loves the circus. Your family is sure to be able to provide an interesting show for you to laugh at and enjoy.

Invitation – "Come see the greatest show on earth," or something corny like that.

Food – Hot dogs (or corn dogs), cotton candy, popcorn, etc. Ice Cream bar?

Activities – Have a clown or magician provide entertainment. Talented pets can entertain with a few interesting tricks. Every circus needs a ringmaster and a few clowns. Use your imagination.

Decorations – Lots of balloons and other brightly colored circus paraphernalia. Put colorful bowls on each table filled with popcorn, peanuts or candy.

Family tree - For this, you would need to create a large family tree chart and paste it on the wall. Your family members can have a great time filling it in and this will also prove to be a useful memento for all of you.

Western is always fun.Sack races,water balloon toss and egg on spoon race.Burgers and BBQ are easy to cook around.The best gift bags would be photo frames and hope all will share their photos.Hope this helps.
