I am planning a birthday party for my friend, and she wants the theme to be a winter carnival?

She is turning 13 years old. We already have a sno cone machine, a cotton candy machine, and a chocolite fountain. We are going to have christmas trees, snow flakes everywhere, and a snowman backround in the party room. She doesn%26#039;t want to have any activities there, she just wants to let them have fun, talk, and dance!! Have any ideas on what to do for food and decorations??

That%26#039;s really an awesome party idea...I never would%26#039;ve thought of it. I have ideas for food items.





Take some squash (any kind) and make slices (size of potato wedges or french fries), dip in flour, then egg, then seasoned flour. Fry in oil until browned on both sides and tender inside. (if kids don%26#039;t like squash, use potatoes instead)


Serve a nice warm soup in a pumpkin (inards scooped out as in for carving) that you have baked, coated in butter and salt, for 45 min - 1 hr. A good harty stew or chowder would be excellent. You can ladle the soup out and into individual bread bowls, or hollowed out acorn squashes.


Or maybe chili bowls....


make your chili. Make cheesy biscuit dough (they sell in pre-mixed packets)and spread over bottom side of muffin tins to make mini bowls. Bake them and serve chili inside these biscuit bowls and sprinkle cheese on top.


As for decorations, you pretty much have it covered, but I would suggest laying blankets on ground here and there for sitting to eat picnic-style. Or maybe some park benches or picnic tables.


You have a great time and Happy b-day to the 13 yr old...
Reply:Wow, sounds like you%26#039;ve done so well on your own there, thats sounds like such a fun party idea, and what you%26#039;ve come up with so far. Best of Luck.....
Reply:Wonderful ideas already. You could add a fog machine and Christmas lights would look nice on the ceiling or running down the middle of a table. Use snowflake confetti and jingle bells. Use lots of silvers and blues in the room.





Here are some great ideas from kidspartyfun:


Food-


soup, stew or chili


gingerbread cookies


snowball cupcakes (vanilla icing covered with shredded coconut(coconut tastes much better if toasted first))


hot chocolate


(apple cider)





Dec-


white styrofoam balls (you could make your own with crumpled newspaper wrapped in tape and spray painted white)


white, blue, and silver streamers
Reply:All foods cold: cold cuts, macaroni salad, potato salad, finger foods, tiny cubed sandwiches, cold soda, celery, carrot sticks with dip. Decorations: Ice carved statue, streamers, balloons.
Reply:let me think get fake ice and go ice skating


Duh
Reply:It sounds like you already have a lot of decorations!


If you%26#039;d want more, try finding table cloths with snowflakes on them, hang snowflake decorations from the ceiling, %26amp; hang dark %26amp; light blue crepe paper decoratively around the room, stuff like that! You don%26#039;t want the place to look TOO overbearing tho...
Reply:well u might not know how to make it but i think that u should make a winter roast and decorations winter crap
