The media is driving many areas of life today. Birthday parties are becoming one of them. These events that use to be ice cream and cake, are evolving into major celebrations no matter the age of the child. Themed parties are taking on a life of their own. Children's parties now have inflatables and upscale games. You won't find "pin the tale on the donkey" at a party these days. "Fairy Princess Tea Parties" and "Super Heroes Adventures" have taken the country by storm.

The "Sweet Sixteen" party has become a sopisticated evening with a DJ for dancing and a buffet that includes a candy bar. To add to the new found drama the  cake is rolled out, topped with spraklers instead of candles!! Creating a "party" atmosphere appeals to many teenagers today.
