Birthday Party Ideas

This is our annual joint birthday post.  I try to share a bit about celebrating birthdays without divulging my boys actual birth dates.  Since they both have summer birthdays, usually, I share how we celebrated, but this year, I thought I might just give you a list of birthday parties we have hosted or attended that worked well for our family.

1. A quiet celebration at home with a selection of our special kiddos’ favorite things.
2. Art party (either out at a place or at home).
3. Decorating cupcakes party.
4. Lego party (build, eat cake, go home).
5. Bounce houses (rented for the afternoon, they put them up in your yard and come get them the next day).
6. Pirate treasure scavenger hunt (low key, hangout in the backyard, ending with the scavenger hunt for their goodie bags).
7. Pool party (when they were little, we did a couple of blow up pools and the kids were happy).
8. Trampoline Park party
9. Pottery painting party out at a venue.
10.  Take a couple of friends to a baseball game or other minor league sporting event.
11. Bowling parties (these are Mikey’s personal favorite)
12. Movie theater parties (you could also totally do this at home and just set up little towels in front of your TV).

Since Will had a surprise party, we just did low-key cake and presents on his birthday day.  He was happy with that.
