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 />
