I decided to try a new way of organizing a party and combined a children’s\/teen party into one. The guests ranged from ages 7 through 17. Each of my daughters was allowed to invite approximately 5 guests. We set up 3 unique game stations\u00a0(teens\/ tweens and under 10) with seating areas and snacks, and then left the kids to get their Game On!<\/p>\n

Snacks included: pizza, sushi, veggies and dip, chips and dip, homemade brownies, a big bowl of peanut M&Ms and fortune cookies.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7659\"<\/a> The children enjoyed Angry Birds, UNO and even tried Mad Gab.

The teens favourite game was Apples to Apples.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7665\"Everyone went home happy from game night: the littlest guests left at 9 while the teens stayed later.<\/p>\n

My daughters said it was one of the best parties we’ve had.

For me, as a parent, I found game night was a great way to throw a party that appealed to a variety of ages. It was so satisfying to have all of my daughters and their friends enjoy the party together.<\/p>\n

Ever since the party my youngest daughter Pippi insists we play Apples to Apples,<\/strong> as a family, on a daily basis\u2014she’s hooked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
