Want a great idea for a birthday party?

May I offer one plus, and one caution? The plus is, you do not have to do the clean up before cause company is coming and clean up after because company came, and left, and left a mess. The one caution is that you need to be very careful as the pools, hot tubs, saunas and fitness equipment are "use at your own risk" There are no lifeguards. I know of someone who nearly drowned at a similar party. That does not mean I would not do it, it sounds like fun.

That is a nice idea, the girls surely enjoy all those things. It wouldn't work for me, as there is only one motel in this tiny town...and the rooms there are 89 dollars each..so 180 dollars plus tax...too much money for me! The motel also doesn't have a pool or exercise room. So, I'd be paying 180 dollars to have a group of girls sitting in a room watching TV! Ha!! That is a fine idea though for those in larger cities!

that would be fun for teenager's parties. because they get to enjoy life as an adult with their friends, and what's best...it's for FREE! =)

That sounds like great fun. Pity hotel rooms in this country are hardly big enough for 1 person most of the time let alone 5 and they don't usually lety ou have kids with you for free.

Wow great idea for saving on cleaning and also getting all those free luxuries from the hotel!! Bet your niece loves that and lives it right up to the max! Thanks for sharing that with us.

We do this to also here we have a great big indoor swimming pool in one of our local hotels , they have a blast! and its somewhat affordable. we order pizza and they love to order a movie in too, alot of times they offer movies that are still oin te theater in Hotel rooms its fun!

Some motels even have a little waterpark attached instead of just a pool for about the same price. This does sound like fun!

What a wonderful idea this is estherlou. Not only are the children having some fun but they are also getting a night out. Also they can be more easily supervised in this manner and the cost will be reasonable. That is sometimes the limiting factor in having a birthday party for children, i.e. the cost. Also it is original instead of parents trying to outdo each other with all the fancy things that they arrange. Congratulations to your sister for coming up with a novel idea for her daughter to celebrate her special day. :)

nice , this looks good planning for the party. for a wonderful enjoyment with under18 kids. but as far as my self is concerned if the party is for grown up ones ., please share the mood of party with your parents and close relatives. they will be so excited with your wish and call

That is a good idea! We love hotels. My daughter has her birthday in August. We have property so we can set up a car port tent and have tables, chairs, flowers, food, drinks and games to play. She is a teen now and so their party can be more somber with all the things they can talk about. Guys and girls have a good time. Her brother can meet new people and it can be a nice time had by all.

That is a terrific idea Esterlou! I'm always looking for new ways to have the kids birthday parties and this one sounds like it could be a lot of fun and economical! My youngest has the big 12th coming up in November and I'll start checking to see if any hotels in our area offer similar deals early in the Fall. Please do thank your sister for me as I might just go with this idea. Cheers!

I've only ever had one party on my Birthday ... (well there were two parties when I was a child but I was ill for both of them and couldn't go to my own party !) .. on my 21st Birthday I was living in Africa .. and some of the folks there had bought me some 'extra special' bottles of drink (hard to get where we were 90 miles down a dirt road from any shops) .. the party was going well until I turned round only to find my husband (now ex) splashing around my very special drinks .. I never forgave him .. it's one of those things you just don't do .. had out other folks Birthday gifts without asking .. had he asked I would have almost certainly said yes .. it was the fact he didn't even think to ask !

Nice idea. Only difficulty is we don't have below 18 years free sort of condition at our nearby place.

I can see how that would be fun but I'd hate to be the person trying to sleep in the room next door!! Seriously though, it does sound like a lot more fun that just your typical slumber party, especially if you don't have fun things for the kids to do at home. Personally I loved sleepover at my house because we had an arcade, pool table, tons of craft stuff and we were allowed to stay up all night watching TV/movies and snacking!

Well, I don't think she needs more ideas for a party. That sounds like a better party ever. I wish my parents ever did that to me for my birthdays.

Great idea, but a bit expensive, no? I just do a family diner party at home and instead of starting with the normal meal, we start by the birthday cake, thus, if anyone want to live before the cake, they are free to go.

Never forget the cards, post cards

Sounds pretty good even though I Dont have kids but if I do I will keep this in mind

It sounds great to me. We did something similar with my girl scout troop when I was a kid.

Wow, that's a really great idea.
