Plan a memorable experience.

Instead of running to buy decorations, food and bags of surprises, why not go see a show, a play or a football match? You can also go to a restaurant or visit a museum, aquarium or science center and create an exciting activity that no one will forget.

Forget about banners and balloons.

If you are hosting your home party, use a blackboard or whiteboard to write a special message to the child whose birthday is. Encourage each guest to write their message or draw a picture. Take a picture of the work when it’s finished and enjoy watching it later.

Organize a party activity to make the surprise bags.

Whether it’s decorating cupcakes or making fun little toys, prepare a bag or gift box for each guest where they can take their treasure as a thank you gift.
