    Here's a cool debut theme that's sure to be a HIT! (Well, I hope so, LOL.)

    NYC-themed Debut: I'm sure New York is a pretty cool place to live in, with all the glitz and glam. Let's begin! ^_^

    INVITATIONS:

    -I know a few websites that make personalized ticket invites. Check them out on the sources area.

    -Feeling creative? Design your own invitation in the shape of an apple (remember New York is The Big Apple) or a skyscraper. Use bright red paper for the apple and shiny silver for the building. Write the party information on the back in black or in silver pen.

    DECORATIONS:

    -Decorative gas lamps along the front walk would look elegant.

    -Place white twinkle lights on bushes and trees.

    -Mix bunches of silver and gold balloons on either side of the door. Clear balloons filled with metallic shred or confetti create a really unique look.

    -Hang up NYC Road Signs on the walls.

    -Place cutouts of the Empire State Building or Times Square all around the venue.

    -Cover some of the lights with red or blue gels to add ambiance.

    -For music, songs of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. are a must.

    MENU:

    -I have a tabletop idea--black plastic tableware matched with black, silver or gold napkins are the perfect utensils. Sprinkle skyline confetti on the table to add a shimmer & sparkle.

    SERVE THESE:

    -Egg rolls and chow mein from Chinatown

    -Hot dogs from Nathan's Famous

    -Pizza

    -Cheesecake from Lindy's

    -Hot pretzels and roasted chestnuts

    -Dr. Brown's

    -Apple juice or anything with apples

    FAVORS:

    -I <3 NY Stuff would be great favors!

    -Chocolate-covered pretzels in a cellophane bag. You can make or buy cute NYC tags to attach to them!

    Hope it helped. :D

    B-days are another day. So, get used to life, b-days, holidays of just being another day and no big special thing. You'll be let down every time, as you have been before.

    Just go out for pizza.
