Backwards Party - Kids Birthday Party IdeasGet Ready For The Best Backwards Bash!
I usually like to help people get into a particular party frame of mind by letting them know where the best party supply links to a particular theme may be found. However, at this time, there just aren't any Backwards Party kits available, so we'll have to work at creating this little baby from scratch! Solid Color Partyware MIRROR INVITATIONS - Write all of your party details backwards so they must use a mirror to decipher the fun. Note: Be sure to tell them they must use a mirror to read your birthday message! THANK YOU INVITES - Instead of sending the usual birthday party invitations, use thank you cards instead and say, "Thank you for coming to my Backwards Party" and then add all the party details. BACKWARDS INVITES - Fold the invitation inside out so the invitation opens backwards and put the party information on the outside. Suggested Invitation Wording: detivinI erA uoY, which translates, "You Are Invited." OR You can tell guests to dress backwards and to practice doing everything backwards in preparation for your party. Things like walking, talking, eating, playing, etc. will all be done backwards. For added fun, invite your guests to wear their clothes backwards and inside out. Examples:

BACKWARDS PARTY IDEAS FOR FOOD At this party, you will want to serve your birthday cake and ice cream or dessert first and then serve the main meal. Perhaps smaller servings of dessert to insure the kids each the main course. Also, if you want to add yet another backwards flair to the party, be sure to provide the opposite type of utensil. For example, give the kids a spoon to eat spaghetti or a fork to eat soup, floats, milkshakes, or anything liquid. BACKWARDS HOT DOGS - Split a hot dog down the center and place a piece of bun between the pieces of hot dog. PIZZA IN A CUP - Serve slices of pizza in a cup instead of a plate. INSIDE OUT SANDWICHES - Deli meat and cheese on the outside and a slice of bread on the inside. MEATLOAF CUPCAKES - Fill muffin tins with your favorite meatloaf recipe. After they are cooked, frost them with your favorite mashed potato recipe. UPSIDE DOWN FRUIT SALAD - Put a cherry on the bottom of the bowl, sprinkle chopped nuts on top, add a scoop of yogurt or a dollop of whip cream, add chopped fruits, and top with a lettuce leaf. UPSIDE DOWN SOFT DRINKS - Poke holes in the bottom of the soda cans and serve them with straws already inserted into the holes. BACKWARDS BIRTHDAY CAKE - Make or buy a sheet cake and write "Happy Birthday Name" backwards on the cake. Decorate the sides with edible toppings like sprinkles and add a few curling ribbons around the edges for decoration. PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE - Use your favorite recipe or make it easy on yourself and go with a box mix. UPSIDE DOWN BANANA SPLITS - Make your sundaes backwards. Put a cherry in the center of the dish. Sprinkle chopped nuts, add a squirt or dollop of whip cream, spoon on chocolate sauce, caramel, marshmallow, butterscotch, etc. Add the ice cream and top it off with a banana. UPSIDE DOWN ICE CREAM CONE - Put some sprinkles in a bowl, a scoop of ice cream on top, chocolate sauce, and top with an ice cream cone. UPSIDE DOWN CUPCAKES - Make cupcakes. turn them over and frost the bottoms. Since there aren't any "backwards" party favors, you might want to opt for silly items like Silly Putty or Silly String, both of which are kids' favorites. Also, anything that can be personalized, you can put the child's name on backwards. Give the kids a plain favor box that they must wrap before leaving the party to take home their favors.
