Writer, birthday, game night and dinner party guides

Hi, I'm Emma

I write the birthday-by-age guides on Party Ideas Zone, from first birthdays to 100th celebrations, along with our themed game nights for adults and dinner party menus sized for four to twelve guests.

I keep each guide focused on the question you searched for, then point you to the next thing you will need, whether that is a related guide or one of our planning tools for food quantities, budgets and timelines.

We are working through these guides and updating the most-read ones first. If something is wrong or missing, please let us know.

What I write about
