Our daughter's birthday isn't until mid-June, but that's when all the non-working spouses and children return to the home country for the summer while the working spouse remains in Indonesia. If we wanted to have a party her friends could attend, we needed to do it this month. May 17th was a holiday in Jakarta (Ascencion of Christ), so we chose the afternoon of the day before.
When we asked her what kind of a party she wanted, she said a "Candy Party". We imported boxes of candy from the US, decorated our house like peppermint sticks and lollipops, and hired a cotton candy and popcorn machine. The same company also offered several different types of games that we hired, too.
One of the more interesting events was one of our daughter's friends asking to perform a magic show at the party. We agreed and it was pretty good! We also let our son invite his friends so the party doubled as a farewell party for the kids, too.
