Birthday Parties A Celebration Of Your Own Personal Holiday

Writen by Gail Leino

No matter what kind of birthday party you are planning, it pays to plan ahead, and give yourself more time than you think you will need to accomplish the tasks of planning the perfect party. The first thing you need to consider is the person being honored at the party. This party is for them, and their likes and dislikes should be considered first.

Determining how many people will be present at your birthday party, is the first step. Depending on the guest list, you can determine if the party can be held in your home, outdoors, or at a reserved location. You can also determine how much food and cake will be needed. Should you cater the party yourself, whether it is in your home or somewhere else, I suggest dishes that can be prepared the day before the event, selected to please the birthday boy or girl.

One of the most special things anyone can do for an elderly parent, grandparent, or friend, is to honor the date of their birth by gathering together friends and family, and preparing for a walk down memory lane. These parties are always so special, because it never really matters where they are, what is served, how many gifts are given, or what kind of entertainment is planned. People in the Autumn of their lives just want to reminisce. The perfect gift for this kind of party is a collage of carefully gathered, borrowed photographs of your special birthday honoree at various stages of their lives, and with loved ones–especially the ones they may have lost along the way. Often, simple family gatherings filled with love, and an escort into days gone by, are all it takes to make the most special birthday party.
