Birthday Parties

Who doesn't love birthday parties? They are all about fun, games, good food, gifts and of course.... the cake :) Kid's birthday parties used to mean cake from the local super market, handful of balloons and streamers. Not anymore !! From extravagant theme parties, to character appearances and bouncy houses, today's tot celebrations are over the top. Theme parties are a popular trend these days. While not every party needs to have a theme, but lets accept it.... theme parties leave a lasting impression. Plus, these are also a great way of having the birthday child feel special. Popular themes include Frozen, Superheroes, Cars, Dr Suess, Disney characters, Thomas & friends... You think about it... and pinterest has some great ideas on how to plan a birthday party. It is also a booming business, whether they are at home or any popular venue. An average parent will spend about 250$ to host their kid's birthday party... a number that brands cannot ignore.

We had a "Hello Kitty" theme for Anvesha's first birthday. I didn't quite do anything special that time since we wanted to keep it short and simple. On her second birthday, I went a little over board in planning a "Rainbow Theme" party for her. On her third birthday, we might plan a character theme party for her since she is at an age where she has few favorite cartoon characters..... but more on that later.

Birthday parties are special not just for the birthday child, but also for all the guests. I loved going to birthday parties as a kid and so does Anvesha. Last couple of weeks we have been busy attending birthday parties. I must say Anvesha has a rocking social life!!!!! She loves to sing the "happy birthday" song. The venues were spread out.... from parks to community halls and bouncy houses.





Happy Anvesha after attending a party......
Anvesha looks forward to going to a birthday party, as birthday parties for her entails prizes, games, cake and a whole afternoon of fun. It also gives her a chance to dress in her favorite party clothes and be with her friends. She gets complete freedom from home and at the end... a hamper of goodies :)











Hats off to all the moms for taking extra pain in planning out the perfect birthday party for their kiddos.
