It’s Your Birthday

You and your best friend are having a Super Sweet 16 Party! You need to design a flyer that you can post in school to let everyone know that you are throwing the party of the year (and they wouldn’t want to miss it). Your flyer will need to contain the following information:

o For whom

o Where

o When – date and time

o Why

o What to expect…. food, entertainment, dancing, DJ, clowns, swimming, horseback riding, skiing, rock climbing, face painting, famous people, the possibilities are endless.

o How to dress… casual, formal, theme, etc.

o What to bring

o And anything else you can imagine

Your party needs to have some sort of theme and your clipart/graphics need to reflect your party’s atmosphere. – masquerade ball, under the big top, fiesta, luau, etc.

Your assignment:

1. Create a flyer that includes the above information. Use this link to access a party idea webpage. It has something for everyone and great tips on ideas!
2. Create a “thank you” card for your favorite gift received at your party.

Reminders:

1. Your projects must look good. Appearance Matters!
2. Your flyer and card must have the same theme. If you are having a western party then you should use graphics that go along with that western look.
3. Do all of your wording first and add your graphics last. That way you don’t get behind looking for the perfect picture!
4. Spell Check

You will have three (3) class periods to work on this assignment. Make it Sassy!
