Hi! We just celebrated our 2nd b-day last saturday. I went with a train theme, and sent out Thomas the Tank invitations. I also rented a 24 passenger train for about $100 per hour and everyone rode around the subdivision, adults included(they had more fun than the kids, everyone had a "train whistle to blow"). we lucked off, cause the weather was fine(southeast louisiana) Last year, i went with a clown theme and rented a clown to come and entertain the kids, paint faces, blow up balloon animals, etc. there are some websites that you can go to that have TONS of ideas, centered around age, themes, characters, etc with ideas for games and everything else. Go to yahoo, and search party ideas. Good luck
