Birthday Party Games Lady Blog

I read with delight the Silicon Valley Moms blog about abandoning my least favorite birthday party custom- the Goodie Bag. I could go on for days about how our society does more to turn our kids into consumers rather than happy people and teaches them that ‘things’ mean happiness- but that’s not exactly on topic.

Birthday Party Games Lady party packages were very consciously created to redefine the ‘fun’ of a birthday party. I created my first one for my eldest daughter in response to her desire for a mystery party like several she’d been too- that cost almost $1000 hosted by a party person. No way was I going to shell out that kind of money. So I wrote it myself. After seeing how much enjoyment the kids had playing the game, interacting with each other and using their imaginations and creativity, I quickly realized that destination parties and other more ostentatious forms of birthday party ‘fun’ were just not necessary.

We parents can’t easily control the desire for ‘things’ that our kids get from school and the society they live in. But we can control what goes on in our own home. And as the parent of an elementary school child or a young teen, we do have control over the annual rite of the birthday party.

It’s always a trade-off between time and money, and today’s family with two working parents and very busy schedules often tips the scale toward money rather than time. But there are an infinite variety of activities that a small time investment can turn into good party fun without a big expenditure. Birthday Party Games Lady party packages aim to do just that.

A successful, fun birthday party is a great gift to your child. It shows your love, it allows your child to share their happiness with friends, and it makes your child feel really special. What do goodie bags contribute, except more expense. Forget ‘em!!

P.S. The same goes for expensive paper plates, napkins and the like- they barely even look at them!
