Party Ideas....

I was asked today for some ideas for a young girl's birthday and it really got me thinking (always dangerous).  I've always loved to plan parties for our kids, but I have to admit I've enjoyed my son's party planning more.  Indiana Jones parties with treasure hunts, pirate parties where we shoot at boats in the pool with water guns, scuba diving parties and more....always adventurous and sometimes preposterous ...definitely fun.  But for my daughters, it's always been a little more mainstream.  Tea parties, princess, ladybug, sleepovers, makeovers and the lot...fun...but very traditional.  I want to mix it up a little!  My first suggestion to this Dad was to think of the top three things that his little girl loves!  Puppies? Horses? Dinosaurs? The Zoo?  Focusing on a party that which makes our girls individuals is the only way to go!  What makes your special girl so special?  My youngest loves science and getting dirty. With her 7th birthday in May, I better get thinking!!! What will you do for your next party? Let me know! fun@partyjumpersinc.com or chat with us on Facebook!  https://www.facebook.com/PartyJumpers
Happy Planning!

Springtime Flings!

In Florida, February brings the most glorious weather in the country!  Sitting here on my 80 degree, sunshine filled porch, I'm watching the news cover the blizzard that is quickly approaching my hometown of Boston.  I love where we live!

February also brings a flurry of business to Party Jumpers as people brush off the holiday glitter and get back to the business of birthdays, first communions, and start planning graduation parties!  What fun!  There are so many great sites these days to help with planning....from creative ideas on Pintrest.com and Etsy.com, coordinating on Punchbowl.com, and fun invitations on tinyprints.com or polkadotdesigns.com...there is SO much you can accomplish from the comfort of your couch while catching up on what's going on at Downtown Abbey!

While planning, please remember our local companies here on the Suncoast!  LTM Party Store just relocated to the Publix Plaza on the corner of Honore and Fruitville...the perfect setting to grab all those fun decorations and balloons!  Right around the corner, pick up your cake at A Slice Of Heaven and the rest of your menu for the party at Pizza Srq with a wide catering menu!  Like Party Jumpers, these are all family owned, locally operated small business that really appreciate your business!

You may be celebrating a birthday, a sports victory, or just the fact that it's Sunday....we join you in celebrating our wonderful community and gorgeous weather!
