Birthday party...what do you do?

Question

It's my birthday! I know, it's lame, but what do you usually do to celebrate your birthday? My close friend has moved, I dont have too many right now as many have disapeared...any ideas how to celebrate your own birthday? :) Also, my son is turning 3 at the same time - usually we have everyone over for one big party, but we've moved recently and don't have a big yard anymore, plus it's raining & not sure if everyone will fit in the house, so I'm wondering if it should be 2 seperate birthdays, OR, what do adults do during a kids party? You know - that uncomfortable silence of people just sitting around... Ice breakers? I'm not a games person - I think adult party games are Lame. :) And 3 yr olds are a little young for focusing on games...

The only idea I have is covering the floor with paper and having kids colour all over it, have cake...

Answer 1

They can decorate cupcakes, arts and crafts, or just have them over for presents and cake and give them each a giftbag.  As for your own party...well, why don't you go out to dinner with friends and family?

Answer 2

When my daughter was 3, i had a clown and magician (husband and wife team). The show was 45mins included in the show was balloon

sculptures. Parents and kids had FUN! i ordered a veggie tray

and a cold cut platter with potato and salads on the side.

We played games . opened gifts sang h-b-day.

Great fun you might want to do this or have more grownup games.

As for us everyone was joyous.
