Author: i have a daughter turning 11 in a week and a half, and i am finding it to be very frustrating to plan this party for her, weve thought about pizza and a movie. also my our olest son is turning 6 in a week and a half, weve always had birthdays together,but are trying to get away from that, any ideas. please help im desperate.
Yes, it is time for their parties to be SEPARATE.
For the girl, do a dress up tea-party. Bring adult clothes, hats, shawls, they can dress up in,let them put makeup on too. Then serve them a tea party with little finger sandwiches, and petit-fours. Set the table with china and make it very grown up. They will love it.
For the boy, do a pirate treasure hunt theme. Let them make their swords, eye patches, parrots, and pirate hates out of cardboard or paper. Then set them on a treasure hunt in the back yard, the park nearby, or in the house. Get gold coin chocolates for party favors and serve them rugged food, sloppy joes, and for the cake make it a treasure chest shape – maybe even several of them (breadpan shape).

For your daughter, invite all her friends, (no boys, wouldn’t be fun for them) and do sort of a "spa" party. Buy some cheap lipstick/eyeshadow/blush and stuff like that plus some cheap hairties and stuff like that and let them give each other makeovers. If you have one of those things that you melt the suff in then put your hands in it then put plastic bags over them to make your hands soft get that out for them to use. Get out some nailpolish or buy some in pretty shades of pink and purple and have them paint each others nails!! Anything like that, thats what my friend did when she turned 11, we all had a blast! For your son, if you have a large yard, play games and softball with the plastic balls and bats or play kickball or tag. Get them outside!!
