Kids Birthday Breakfast or Morning Brunch Party

The Frugal Momma has some great recipe suggestions (after the link) for a kids’ birthday breakfast or brunch party.  It can be so much easier and less expensive to coordinate a morning birthday event, and the timing usually works out well for little kids’ schedules.

“I think birthday parties at brunch hours are ideal for entertaining because brunch food is so inexpensive and children are so much happier during the earlier part of the day. You beat all of the grumpiness that happens closer to the nap hour and you also get the rest of the day to kick your feet up and just relax after all of that planning. If I had my choice, I would always do birthday brunches because of those very reasons.”

Pulling Off a Halloween October Birthday Party

Birthdays that fall on or around holidays can be a challenge.  You run the risk of the birthday celebration being lost in the shuffle of other holiday excitement.   Here’s a great article with some suggestions on how to celebrate a 1st Halloween birthday.  Having a pumpkin patch theme birthday party, or carving something special into a pumpkin helps transform the holiday theme into something more personal.

“The holiday will not overshadow his birthday celebration. As long as there is cake and balloons, everyone will understand that this is a birthday party, with a Halloween theme. Many kids love the fact that their birthday lands around such a cool holiday as they get older…you will be able to do fabulous parties in future. Yet, sensitivity to “Is this holiday overshadowing the birthday celebration” is quite good, however, as in future times your kid may want to do something totally different off of Halloween and you will be ready for it!”
