If your child is a big fan of a book, TV, or movie character, you can build a party theme based on the character. The possibilities are endless, but generally fall into two categories... "the classics" (characters that have been around for years and are likely to be around for many years to come) and the "hot trends" (characters that are sizzling hot right now). Fun Character parties include:

• Winnie the Pooh
• Sesame Street
• Mickey & Minnie Mouse
• Tarzan (Jungle Safari)
• Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty or Snow White (Princess Party)
• Snow White
• Madeline
• Aladdin (Arabian Nights Party)
• Barbie
• Little Mermaid (Under the Sea)
• Barney
• Wizard of Oz
• Alice in Wonderland (Tea Party)
