My son is turning 10 in a couple months and i need to sort out what i'm doing before the end of term so i can deliver out the invites. Any good ideas out there? We might do the bowling thing, but i was hoping to make it a bit more special than that...

What is he into? The Pokemon and/or Yugi-oh stuff? Trucks? What my wife did for my boy was have a theme party at the house. She found some Yugi-Oh wall paper on the internet, blew it up and made a huge poster for the one wall, it covered most of the wall. Then she got all the goodies from the oriental trading company, and it was all set. It wasn't a big cost, and the kids had an absolute blast. (She did a beach theme for my other son one year, blew up a sandy beach picture and all of his guests got straw hats, cocunut drink containers, etc., and listened to the Beach Boys. It went over quite well in the middle of December.)
If you're thinking outside the home, bowling is one good option, but if there are things like an amusement park or even go-karts or something, they'd enjoy that more.

Depends how adventurous/brave you and the children are. What about a camping sleepover? Not many kids have experienced this and if done in your back garden it is totally safe with you out there too (maybe in your own tent?) You could play games, tell stories around a fire and roast marshmallows on very long scewers.That way the birthday cake will be able to make a dramatic entrance with candles or sparklers. You could also do the MacD thing if you think it would be easier to feed them. You could have a pirate theme (pirates have to spend time on land too - sometimes shipwrecked)?

Boys like action and things that are gross and icky.
Do you have one of those indoor rock climbing walls nearby? Boys love to climb and with all the harnesses and helmets the places are very safe.
For the cake ... make cupcakes but pour the batter into ice cream cones. Use the flat bottom cones becuse they are easier to bake that way.
Just pour the batter about 3/4 full and bake like usual. The result is great because you then hand out the cupcake cones and let the boys decorate their own with different flavored frostings and sprinkles and sour eyeballs, gummy worms, etc.
Kids love this stuff because they get to "make their own" and the boys will compete with eachother to make the grossest looking one. You can even have a contest for the grossest one.
Think gross, think action.
For the gift bags ... give the kids those air sickness bags you get on a airplane ... your fellow parents will hate you, but the kids will think it is the coolest of all time.

Somtimes the best parties are done at home if you have a lot of space and parents to help.
They say go-karting is pretty fun to watch as well as take part in. These go-karting tracks are well supervised, they create competition, everyone gets a few goes with plenty breaks for eating. A great day out and the kids have such good fun. May teach them a lesson in road sense.
You'll have great weather in the next couple of months to.

Go with a theme party, i.e. fear factor, survivor, scavanger hunt or something like that. Make it interesting and different than the usual birthday parties. Although I have done a bowling party and the boys had a blast (my son also chose 3 friends to sleep over, we did a hotel with an indoor pool and they swam until midnight), I think this year I am going to move towards a fear factor or something crazy.
Good luck!

son like baseball? schedule a small group to go and watch a real game. awesome! and you may be lucky and get the event planners to wish him a happy birthday up on the screen. he will never forget his 10 birthday. here fyi: my son didn't get into birthday parties much after the age of 10. he would always want to do something with like two or three friends, like camping out, going to the water park etc.. he was "too old" to have a party with hats/party horns.

Boston is a perfect blend of colonial history and cutting-edge innovation. From the charming cobblestones of Beacon Hill and revolutionary landmarks of the Freedom Trail, to the famous grounds of Harvard University and Fenway Park, Boston is just a treasure chest of Americana and with hotelbye you may have the opportunity to know that treasure. Boston is known it as the "hold of liberty" and Faneuil Hall is one of many areas must-see just like the adjoining Faneuil Hall Marketplace, a place that includes three long halls: Quincy Industry, North Industry, and South Market. , Faneuil Hall Marketplace is dating from the first 19th century and has become entertained by a exciting choice of stores, restaurants, and exhibitions. In excellent climate, you will find block performers and buskers wearing shows in the square round the market.

Option one Go get a bunch of Nerf Guns clear and clean a room and turn the lights off and have a battle, for a present to him he gets to keep the Nerf Guns Option two MY FAVORITE Get a bunch of tarps and water lay them out on a hill and have a massive slip and slid party. I did it once my friends would not stop talkin about it till my next birthday... it was amazing.

My eight year old brother thinks you should take him to the moon...
If you dont have that sort of money, you could go for a day trip to a space museum or science hands on place or the zoo..something he hasn't done very often, that he will remember. Since its his 10th, its quite a grown up one, but that doesnt mean you have to pay out loads of money.
