SET THE SCENE<br />
Every great detective knows that success is based on<br />
asking the right questions. What kind of party best<br />
suits you and your birthday super hero?<br />
Indoor or outdoor? How many guests?<br />
(Remember that making the guest list<br />
is an important first step!) Outdoor<br />
parties are made for sunny days;<br />
indoor parties allow more<br />
control over the environment.<br />
And the party that just won’t<br />
quit calls for a sleepover!<br />
Outdoor Party<br />
Allows for more activities.<br />
Indoor Party<br />
Lets you confine the action to a<br />
smaller area of your house, but<br />
can require more cleanup.<br />
Sleepover Party<br />
Always requires the building of a Batcave.<br />
And a super hero like Batman does his best<br />
work at night.<br />
