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!”
