My daughter is just celebrated her ninth birthday, and we were also\u00a0moving at the same time so we needed something that wouldn’t require too\u00a0much children’s birthday party planning<\/a>, money, and most importantly – a house! That is when\u00a0my daughter asked if we would be able to do an ice skating party. Of\u00a0course, I thought this would be a great idea since it was not our home, so we wouldn’t need to clean up or plan much.\u00a0 So, the next day I called up the local skating rink and they told me I\u00a0could rent a party room for 3 hours for only \u00a380. This was great!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then,\u00a0my daughter and I picked up some nice stationary from a hobby craft shop and wrote all the information down on a piece of it – one for each\u00a0guest (we invited 12).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The day of the party, we went to the rink early to set up the tables and decorations, and to rent the skates (we\u00a0had called everyone in advance and asked what shoe size they were). The skates\u00a0were complimentary with the party room.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

An hour later, almost all of the\u00a0guests had arrived so they got their skates on and met up with one of\u00a0the rink instructors who would be leading the party. For about an hour, she showed them tricks and they played a variety of skating games.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Later, they were called to lunch were they were given their choice of\u00a0pizza, hot dog, or chicken nuggets. We also laid out hot chocolate so they could come back from skating to get some whenever they wanted.<\/span><\/p>\n

When\u00a0they finished lunch, they went back to skating and there was disco\u00a0lights and music playing! They skated to cool music and light show\u00a0for about 30 minutes, when they got tired and decided to come back in\u00a0and open gifts. Before they knew it, it was time to go.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They were each\u00a0given their goodie bags which were supplied by the rink. They were a\u00a0plastic bag with an ice skate on it, an ice skate keychain, sweets, ice\u00a0skating pencil, and other traditional party bag treats.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This party was\u00a0great – they had fun, there was no clean up, it was extremely\u00a0inexpensive, and it required about 30 minutes of planning!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
