Invitation ideas
Birthday Bash
Show your friends that you have no problem hitting the next big age: Copy an old picture?maybe from your senior year, big crunchy perm and all (this was my high school cheerleading shot!). Cut out letters from a magazine to write a funny, scrapbook-style caption and glue the picture to a plain note card.

Potluck
Write the party details on a blank CD with a fine-point permanent marker. Ask guests to fill the CD with their favorite songs, then send out the disks in CD mailers ($7 for 5, staples.com). You'll end up with a whole night's worth of groovy tunes!

Dinner Party
This mixture of salt, spices and herbs is rubbed onto the surface of meat, poultry or fish before cooking. Spice rubs can be dry or mixed with oil; the latter are easier to apply.
