Q: When you begin to plan your birthday party, you want to start thinking of who you’d like to invite and how many people will be your limit.  Don’t feel obligated to invite people you don’t know very well. You want to feel comfortable, and it’s okay to only invite your close friends to your party. Sometimes fewer people is better. Think about the amount of space you have and how many people can comfortably fit. Also, take into account whether you’ll be driving anywhere and whether or not you want to have a sleepover. Anywhere between 5 and 15 people is normal for a teenage birthday party, but the number is ultimately up to you. You might only be comfortable with having your two best friends over, or you might have 20 people you really want to invite. Ask your parents what they are comfortable accommodating. Giving your party a time helps your guests know what to expect. Also, how long the party will last will determine how much food you need and how many guests you want to invite.  Try to have your party on a weekend so that more people will be able to come. If your party is a sleepover, think about when you want your guests to arrive and when you’d like them to leave the next day. Consider your activities. For example, if you want to have a bonfire, you want your party to occur in the evening when it’s getting dark. Having a theme can help you plan your invitations, decorations, and food. For a winter party, your theme might just be a winter wonderland. You could plan to decorate with snowflakes and have cozy, comfort foods. Other possible wintertime themes could be:  A camping and bonfire theme A movie-based theme (e.g. Harry Potter) A combined birthday and holiday party A sports watching party (e.g. hockey) Invitations are fun way to make your party feel more special and build the anticipation. You can use programs like Microsoft Word or PowerPoint to make your own invitations, hand write your invitations, or buy premade invitations.  Either mail your invitations, or give them to your friends in person. Make sure the invitations include the date and time of the party, the location of the party, and how the guest can RSVP. Also include if the guests needs to bring anything. For example, if it’s a sleepover, let them know if they should bring a blanket or pillow. If you don’t want to send physical invitations, you can use Facebook to make an event for your party. All your friends can RSVP through the event page and ask you questions about the party. Even if you don’t want to go all out, a little bit of decoration can make your party feel festive and thought-out.  Pick a few colors to based your decorations around. For example, if your party has a seasonal winter theme, silver, white, and blue are good colors to decorate with. Get a tablecloth for the table you’ll put food on, and get some balloons for the main party room. You can also add streamers or tinsel. Make a birthday banner with some ribbon, cardstock, and a marker.  Before the party, it can be fun to invite over one or two of your close friends to help you decorate and set up.
A: Decide how many people to invite. Pick a length of time for your party. Pick a party theme. Make and send party invitations. Decorate for your winter birthday party.

Q: If you visit a particular site a lot, you may want to cut down on the number of taps you need to open it by placing a shortcut directly on your Home screen. This will let you open the site without having to open Safari and then having to select the bookmark. This looks like a box with an arrow coming out of the top, and can be found to the right of the address bar. This will add the current site to your Home screen. Before the shortcut is added, you'll have a chance to edit it. By default, the shortcut will have the same name as the title of the webpage. If you need to make an adjustment to the address, you can do so before saving the shortcut. This can be useful if you actually wanted to shortcut the main page but are currently on a subpage. It will be immediately added to your Home screen. If you have multiple Home screens, you will need to scroll to find it.
A: Open the website that you want to add to your Home screen. Tap the "Share" button. Tap "Add to Home Screen". Give the shortcut a name (optional). Adjust the address (optional). Tap "Add" when you are satisfied with the shortcut.

Q: Until you are able to get the cat to the veterinarian for a checkup, it is best to handle the cat while you wear protective clothing. Wear thick gloves, a long-sleeved shirt and long pants to minimize the chance of getting scratched or bitten. After you've been petting the cat with a spoon for a while, try sneaking your hand under the spoon and petting the cat.  Only pet the cat's shoulders and head. Don't get anywhere near its underside. A cat will be very defensive if it feels threatened. Only when your cat fully trusts you will you be able to pet its belly. Use a towel or blanket to pick up the cat. Do this after you've pet the cat a few times. Choose a time when the cat seems calm and relaxed.  It can take a long time to get to this stage. It really depends on the cat. Some cats will never be truly tamed enough to pick up. If the cat struggles when you hold it, let it go. You may end up getting scratched or bitten. You might also undo all your hard work getting to this point.
A:
Wear protective clothing. Use your hand to pet the cat. Try picking up the cat.
