Any New Ideas for a Birthday Party?
I am not a mom but I am a dad and a grand dad too--twice now. I have some great memories of birthday parties when I was a child. I can actually remember (I think) some moments from my first birthday party. Everything always seemed so special on birthdays. It was the same kind of feeling you would have on a holiday like the fourth of July or Christmas. The air wasn't really fresher, the sun wasn't really brighter, the music wasn't really better, but it seemed to be. Special events birthdays are... These kinds of events create memories and even fashion personalities for life I believe. For this reason, I feel it is important that moms (and dads) do everything in their power to make special memories on those occasions. Organizing a birthday party is a lot of work and some of the decisions are rather difficult as well as time consuming. It is an important task, though, and one that deserves the utmost of concentration and effort.
O.K., you have some friends & relatives over, you order some pizza, you order a "jumper", you buy presents, you bake (or buy) a cake and some ice cream, you blow up some balloons. Is there anything more that can be done? Is there anything else that will create a lifetime memory? Is there anything else that could positively impact your child's life and possibly other lives which you could do at a birthday party? I have some ideas that I know from my own personal experience have changed not only my life, but continue to impact many other lives to this very day. I would like to share my ideas, but first I would like to hear from anyone who feels like I do about special days, or has had experience with specific novel birthday ideas, or anyone who has comments in general. 2 comments from 2 users

One of the best Birthday parties I had for my son was an "All Holidays" party. It took a year of planning to collect all the necessary items. We had an Easter egg hunt, went Trick or Treating,( with the help of some nice neighbors that I gave candy to), had a small parade with streamers, floats (wagons) and small flags for 4th of July with some sparklers at the end, made turkey hand pupets and I gave out small stockings with little toys as the take home gift. The kids enjoyed all the fun.

Wow. I love that idea! I never would have thought of something like that. It must have taken a lot of planning and preparation time, but it would surely be a day to remember. Thanks for sharing that great idea!
