Birthday party planning information:
I recently went to a birthday party where they had a great idea to solve the old problem of all the kids crowding closer and closer to the birthday kid when the gift opening starts. She simply bought a kiddie pool and had the birthday child sit in the pool to open gifts the other kids had to sit on the outside which kept them back just enough so that everyone could see and they didn't all crowd in together.
