Birthday Party Games Lady Blog

So this is my tribute to Mickey, my beagle and best friend for the past 13 years.

You always greeted me with a wagging tail when I walked in the door- I’ll miss that very much. Glad to see me, no matter what.

You asked so little yet gave so much. A shot at rooting through the kitchen garbage once in a while made you very happy. Your dog biscuits at 10 every morning were a daily ritual. And you’d tell me when it was 10 and time. A short little bark to say it was time to go outside, and we’d go. Your nose to the ground and tail pointed skyward, you knew every smell. And I knew how much you loved those walks.

You helped teach my children how to be gentle and kind. You never hurt anyone, loved everyone that came through the door. Always asking for a pet or a scratch behind the ear, and whoever gave it to you felt a little calmer and better after they did. I’m going to miss petting those ears and the look of complete contentment you gave.

You’ve been a source of quiet and calm in our busy lives. That look in your eyes that said you trusted and loved us all always made us stop for a second and enjoy that simplicity. Asking almost nothing, yet giving us your heart.

Everyone you met felt a little better after being with you. That’s quite a legacy, my friend.

Thank you, Mickey. I will miss you.

You want a truly unique birthday party for your child, and you figure you can’t have that when you purchase a party package on-line? NOT TRUE!!

Many of my clients add their own ideas and make subtle (and not so subtle) changes to my birthday party games packages that add a whole new dimension to the party. It’s not necessary, and usually adds to the cost, but the results can be well worth it.

Here’s a good example from Joanne in North Dakota:

[We] had Taylors b-day party [the Magica theater party game] this past Sat. and the girls had a blast!!! Taylor was of course the main princess and we rented a beautiful dress and had her done in an “updo” and had a tiara. All of the girls were dressed in their parts and at the end stated, “this was the best b-day party ever!” The parents loved it as well.

The castle was fun to make as my husband made that out of boxes and he painted them. He also made the drawbridge and dungeon out of a box.

The girls held their scripts for the play, but some also memorized their parts. It took a while to run through the first time. The best part was the girls were entertained the entire 3 hours and were never bored. After the first run through, we had presents and build your own sundaes and then went through it 1 1/2 more times before parents arrived.

My daughter wants to do a “part 2″ for next year—–any ideas??? haha

She loved to get dressed up and get her hair fixed. All the girls were in 3rd grade.

Making the props took the longest time [and is totally optional] —everything else was easy.

For the price of a rented dress and the salon visit, Taylor really WAS a princess for her day. You can bet she’ll remember this birthday for a long, long time.

Don’t be afraid to add your own ideas- the results can be terrific. As my birthday party packages are designed to save parents as much money as possible, I don’t include these add-ons, but there’s room for them in each of my 5 birthday party games packages. Your birthday party ideas + my games = TRULY UNIQUE and MEMORABLE.
