The Birthday Party: A Celebration, not a Chore
Birthdays mark the progression through life, and for kids it’s a very rapid progression through the magical years of childhood. They change so fast and learn so much. I’m not really that much different this year than I was last year, but your 6 or 8 or 11 year old is VERY different this year. As parents, we need to stamp these years into our memory because you’ll never have the child you have today tomorrow- he or she will be quite different. The birthday and the birthday party mark all these transitions. And it’s the perfect opportunity to create lasting memories of a time that will be gone forever.
Enough philosophy, but an email I received from a customer got me thinking along these lines. Renee wrote to say:
Of course I will send an email after the party to let you know how it went but I know it will be fantastic.”
I’m delighted when I hear that parents have done the preparation for one of my party packages WITH their birthday child. Doing things together is another of the childhood joys that slips away as they get older. Getting things ready together makes it a family affair, not just MY birthday party. And it’s yet another memory of a time soon gone by.
All of the birthday party games packages from the Birthday Party Games Lady (except for the Detective Party as it would ruin the ‘mystery’) can involve the birthday child in the preparation, so go for it!! And your party will then really be a Celebration instead of another chore to get through.

The Detective Party was a hit for my daughters 10th birthday. Her friends (all girls) were excited though a few of them found it a little scary ( the knives and the murder suspect ect..) but they nevertheless said it was fun. It took about 2-3 hours for me to prepare most of the things, but considering the fun the girls have had, it was all worthwhile.
