For your children, birthdays are very important events. They want to feel loved and in the center of attention, impress their friends and have the coolest party of the year. Obviously, next year they’ll want something completely different. You have to keep up with their age, interests, and personality. Moreover, you have to be able to organize the parties and, even more important, pay for them. If you’re running out of ideas, check out the following ideas gathered from our clients. They’ll boost your imagination without exceeding the budget.
Take a family trip
If your children are still small, all they want for their birthday is their parents. Take some time off and enjoy a family trip. It doesn’t have to be something exotic; at this age, the children won’t appreciate the landscape anyway. But it has to be meaningful, full of love and attention. Choose a friendly destination, with good weather and plenty of outdoor activities. Connect with your children at a deeper level and make time for stories, adventures, and playing. For a complete experience, don’t leave any member of the family at home!
Plan a thematic party
All kids love stories whether it’s Snow White or Harry Potter. This gives you a lot of ideas to play with. You can organize thematic parties each year if you choose carefully the theme. And they don’t have to be expensive as you can host them in your house or backyard and make the props by yourself or rent them. For an extra note of happiness, mix two stories in a single theme or create your own story.
Invite their friends to a surprise party
Older children need to have their friends at the party. If your kid has very good friends, talk with their parents and plan a getaway together. You can choose the nearby forest or beach, a hiking weekend, or a more exotic destination. Keep it secret until the big day and surprise your kid with the adventure of a lifetime. You’ll have a relaxing family trip and your kids will have their friends for a fun birthday party. It’s a win-win situation.
A birthday party should be fun to organize. You want your kid to be happy, what better reason for being creative and enjoying the preparations? Have fun in the process and relax. The budget isn’t the most important thing. All your kid needs are your love and attention. So don’t plan a Barbie birthday party when your kid’s only interests are planes. Pay attention to their development stage and personality.
