Designed for busy parents with children of all ages, from one-years-olds to teens, The Delaware Valley Birthday Party Handbook puts 208 pages of local party resources at parents’ fingertips. From the tried and true to the more outrageous (limo rides, kayaking and karaoke!), there is an option to fit every child. The book not only offers basic facts, such as prices and age ranges, but is also a gold mine for ideas, giving parents access to hundreds of party suggestions, from fishing parties to rock climbing events at gyms or in readers’ backyards. The Delaware Valley Birthday Party Handbook includes special sections on budget parties (parties for 8 for $ 100 or less), ideas for ‘tweens and teens and suggestions for places to check out in your hometown like your fire house.
