I’ve got a birthday party to plan for my soon-to-be 9-year-old. He’s a holiday baby — his big day falls just after Christmas each year, and, well, it’s just not ideal for anyone involved. School is out, and it’s hard to schedule so that all his friends can attend (with seasonal travel and all), plus I always feel Joey gets cheated on the gift front — I mean, store shelves are usually picked over, and who wants to go all out on shopping right after Christmas?

So, I always feel the need to deliver on a great party for my boy. I usually let him pick what he wants to do — it was a bowling extravaganza last year — but this time around, I’ve been collecting any clever idea I can get my hands on. Enter Family Fun, and this party planner. So cool. You can search by theme or age, and check out this great bike party for school-aged kids. There’s so much more — check it out, then tell us what great party plans you’ve made in the past.
