Ideas for Indoor Birthday Parties

It continues to be a bit nippy outside for one of your child's birthday parties.  You don't want your child and their friends to catch a cold because you couldn't come up with any creative ideas to have an indoor birthday party!  So how can you throw a really fun party, without outdoor activities?  On marthastewart.com, there are plenty of ways to have the party everyone will keep talking about, right in your very own home!  There are several ideas, whether your child is having the big ONE YEAR OLD birthday or celebrating their tenth birthday.  One idea that really stuck out to me was the Movie Star theme.  Follow this link to create a movie premiere set in your living room.  http://www.marthastewart.com/article/movie-star-birthday-party?backto=true&backtourl=/photogallery/themed-indoor-birthday-parties#slide_9  This party may be more appropriate for a little older crowd, those who maybe have a favorite movie or television show.
 

 
For those parents with younger children, you may want to try what Martha Stewart calls a "Tiny Birthday Party."  http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/themed-indoor-birthday-parties#slide_3 Everything is much smaller and simpler.  And for those of you who have little ones, they always want the more simpler object to play with.  Throwing this party suggests having a little cake, small grilled cheese sandwiches, and small party favors.  Though this is suggested for a younger child's party, it can be for any age and can really be made low-budget (which we all love)!
