Photo Birthday Invitation: The Start of the Theme

When you're sending invitations for children birthday party, greeting photo cards can be nice for relatives or people who don't see them everyday. However, when you're throwing a bash for someone 30th, 40th, 50th or any other birthday milestone you can make a big impression by adding two photos to the http://www.express-invitations.com/photo-invitations/ Photo Invitations: one representing how the person looked when they were young and one showing how they look today. Just try to make the more recent photo as flattering as possible for those party invitation cards.

Photo Birthday Cards:  Games

After sending out fabulous http://www.cardsshoppe.com/photo-invitations/photo-birthday-invitations.htm Photo Birthday Invitations, you have to make sure the rest of the party is going to be great, too. One way is to include some fun theme-appropriate games.  For example, you could play a then and now game. Make a list of some common purchases, such as a gallon of milk or a new car, and how much they cost now. Then ask guests to guess how much those items cost the year the birthday boy or girl was born.  You can find this information online or in some books designed to provide this type of information for specific birthday years. Give the guests points for accuracy or for being the closest without going over.

Another game may be to create a list of older movies and of newer movies that star the same people. Ask your guests to name the person who is in both of the films. Obviously, points are awarded for accuracy.  You could also do a trivia game using music. Play a few parts of songs from different time periods and ask guests to name that tune. If you don't want to play too many games, you could also continue the theme of the photo greeting cards by creating a slide show that includes photos from the guest of honor's life, as well as headlines from the different years. For example, show a picture of the person going to the prom along with a headline to put that time in perspective.

Photo Birthday Invitations: Gifts

At the end of the night, you'll want to give the birthday person a special gift to show how much you care about them and how much you appreciate them being a good sport during the party. Keeping in mind your unique photo birthday invitations, why don't you use some of the pictures you've used for the cards or the slideshow and create a scrapbook for the guest of honor.  It will definitely be a memorable gift appropriate for a memorable party.
