Birthday Party Games Lady Blog

Every great mom knows that having the right birthday party tips and tricks is one of the only ways to stay sane when planning her child’s yearly celebration.

And the most important of those is the games and activities that you provide for the groups enjoyment.

Age is perhaps the single most important factor in choosing your party activities. Don’t ask a bunch of 6 year olds to play a game that takes more than about 15 minutes- they need a series of quick moving and short games to stay tuned in. The older they are, the more you can ask them to think as part of the fun. Trust me- they’re not only able to think, it enhances their fun.

Good birthday party tips and tricks will not cost you a fortune. The best parties will be remembered for a long time by the kids who attend because they are fun and different from all the other parties they go to. Not because they ate their cake off an expensive cartoon figure plate.

Traditional games for birthdays are overdone. Every child has been to a celebration where they played Charades. Ho-Hum. But twist this old stand-by game up a bit and put it in the context of a Harry Potter theme, and you’ve got your group casting spells! They won’t even realize that they’re playing Charades. And no one will think it’s just another Ho-Hum party.

Does your little girl and her friends love to dress up and put on little skits? Turn their enjoyment of this very traditional activity into your whole party where they dress up and act out a favorite fairy tale (and they end up doing all the work, not you).

Treasure hunts are one of the oldest of party activities, and not so overused in this day and age. But spice it up by having them hunt for clues to a mystery and it takes on a whole new dimension of fun.

As reasonably priced as my Birthday Party Games Lady kids party packages are, there’s no getting around the fact that they require printing and that takes ink. And the printer companies have very astutely applied the razor blade business model: practically give away the printer and then charge through the nose for the ink. OUCH!!

Did you know that many printer cartridges can be easily re-filled? It’s relatively simple to do and well worth the effort as it costs significantly less than buying new cartridges every time you run out of ink. Since I run my business from home and have 2 kids in school, my printer gets a pretty hefty workload, and I’ve been using the same $30+ bottle of black ink for almost a year! Before I started re-filling my cartridges, I was using 1 black ink cartridge a month, at over $30 each. The savings have been huge. Colored ink can also be refilled, but it’s not quite as cheap.

Not all printers have refillable cartridges, but it’s definitely worth checking to see if yours does. I use inksell.com for my Lexmark printer, but they also offer ink products for many other printers. Or, you can search for “ink refills” and you’ll find many other on-line suppliers. My ink shipments have always come right away so maybe you can even start saving on your ink in time for printing your birthday party game package.
