For my son's 6th birthday he wanted a beach theme, we had Hawian items and a character stand where the kids could put their faces for pictures. They had a blast and got to take the pictures home in a frame we made at the party out of seashells. Teri L., Guthrie My son had a sleep-over at the house with 5 of his closest friends.  We had a bubble gum blowing contest, some archery, and a pinata outside too.  It's best when the birthday child can take part in planning their special day. Suzanne J., Newalla

We had one of the best birthday parties for my twin daughters at Youth Fitness Zone in Stillwater, OK.  The kids ran, jumped, and played.  It was great. Kara I., Edmond

Teddy Bear Party - My daughter wanted a Build-a-Bear party for her 6th birthday, but that was not in the budget! So, we went to Dollar Tree and bought teddy bears with sweaters for $2 each, fancied up the sweaters, and unstuffed the bears.  When the guests arrived, they chose a bear, put a felt heart in their bear, and stuffed their bear.(Adults sewed them up). Then, they brushed and blow dried their bear, measured and weighed their bear (on one of those food scales), named their bear, and received an official certificate. We played "Going on a Bear Hunt" in the back yard, and my dad hid and held this big bear to "scare" them at just the right time. It was fun for everyone, and most of the friends still have their bears (party favor) 4 years later. Beverly T., Norman

A group of my daughter's friends got together and got pampered, shopped at some popular stores and chose and eatery to dine at. Keisha E., Oklahoma City

Pirate Party  This action packed "homemade" birthday party was definitely my favorite.  The kids all dressed in pirate attire--bandanas, eyepatches, beads, etc. while they made puppets and played games such as X on the Treasure Map, Gold Coin Toss, and Captain Bones. After a Pirate Puppet show that led them on a treasure hunt to the table, they found their own treasure chest full of goodies--beads, chocolate gold coins, mini compasses, flags and telescopes.  We all enjoyed the Treasure chest cake made by my grandmother.  The best part of the party however, was playing "Walk the Plank" and the Parrot Pinata.  It was a memorable good time matey! Michale G., Norman

A friend of mine and I have boys that are only a couple weeks apart in age; so we have done a joint party for them the past couple of years.  Both parties were a success and easy on the wallet.  Last year we had a dodgeball party and this year we rented a gym for an all sports party.  The kids had a blast and the cost is a flat fee it doesn't matter how many kids you invite. Marla W., Oklahoma City

This year, it was all about Elmo and Sesame Street. It was all she talked about for months. Her face was priceless when the cake came out!!! Pamela R., Oklahoma City

I think my favorite has been the simple cookouts with my boy and all his buddies. Rex B., Del City

So far we've only had one because he is only one.  However, it truly was fun to see all the excitement.  And, oh yeah, the first birthday I did more opening presents than he did.  Once he saw this gift he like there was no getting him away from it, so I opened most of the rest while he was busy playing eith that one. Shawna H., Shawnee

I just hosted a princess tea party for my daughter that turned 4.  I found fine china at thrift stores.  The guests arrived in their princess dresses. I had plenty of jewelry available for them to wear.  We had lunch and then cupcakes and tea (punch.) The girls had a blast.  I also hosted an outer space party for my son when he turned 7 earlier in the year. We transformed our garage into outer space using glow in the dark paint, stickers, and glow sticks.  We made the planets out of styrofoam balls and strung them from the ceiling.  I made old fashioned party games using a space/alien theme.  The kids painted moon rocks and at the end of the party we shot off a rocket.  All the parents were amazed with how much I did and the kids had a great time. Brandy M., Moore

Lindsay's 9th Birthday party was at JumpZone!  and was so much fun. It was so easy...no clean up.  Even the adults had a blast.  I wish I could have my party there. Jamie R., Moore

I like to do parties that aren't the norm.  My family likes to Geocache and so I created a theme party based on that for my son. We marked 3 caches and made a map for the boys to follow that lead to my son's big birthday present. I copied a map of our town and had it made into an edible cake topper. It was so fun and unforgettable but most of all inexpensive since it was at home! Reagan S., Washington

An army party for my oldest when he turned 7.  It was low key with games in the backyard, including throwing bombs (water balloons) at the enemy (my husband - dressed as a WW2 German soldier). I made the cake (!) with campsite and river on it.  He decorated it with Lego people.  We had a sleepover with a 10 man tent set up in the living room.  It was fun and so easy!  As the children have gotten older it's hard not to bend to "keeping up with the Jones'." Donna D., Edmond

We have had so many fun parties, but the one that stands out in my head is the "Cowboy Campout".  We dressed the kids in Cowboy hats and bandana's, painted mustaches and beards on their face. cooked over an open fire and told ghost stories.  We had sack races, carrying an egg on a spoon with their legs tied to a partner, and played flashlight tag.  Had about 50 kids at that party.

For his 3rd Birthday, I had called our local firehouse and they brought the fire engine to the party, let the kids climb in, take pictures, even let the birthday boy pretend to drive the truck. The firemen are always wonderfl with children. They sounded the siren as they left, per request from the birthday boy. **Special note: I had a plate full of homemade chocolate chip cookies ready to hand the firemen when they left as a thank you. For the party itself, I had pre-cut fire chief hats for the kids to decorate (even got stickers from the local firehouse). The cake was a digital picture of my son in front of the firetruck (which we had visited with a playgroup previously).

Even my grandparents went swimming with the kids. Everyone had so much fun. I ordered pizza and had it delivered for dinner and stayed there till everyone was exhausted. Lorrie B., Guthrie

Last year we made her a party at Mcdonalds. We didn't have that much money but she really wanted it there. So we worked it out and gave her a party there. She was very happy. Just seeing her happy made it all worth it. It was great all her friends came and she had lots of fun. What made it very special to me is that she was very happy and was having lots of fun. That made me remember when I was little that I wanted a party but I never got one because my parents couldn't afford it. It is not the children's fault for the problems grownups have. Always try to do something it doesn't matter if it just a cake and you. They will know at least you try.
