Birthday parties aren’t what they used to be… a simple homemade cake, pin the tail on the donkey, presents and goodie bags are a thing of the past. It seems like every birthday party my kids are invited to has a theme with a bounce house, a petting zoo and a snack table worthy of wedding reception! I love how decked out parties have become!
Here are a few of my FAVORITE party ideas:
Rainbow Polka-Dot Party Carnival Party Angry Birds Party
The Birthday party invitation hasn’t escaped the transformation either. When I was growing up, the invitations I handed out looked something like this…

I am sure you all remember these, with the “Date____, Time____, Place____, Given By____” written on the inside. Invitations have become so personalized including pictures of the Guest of Honor with all the information written out like a story!
Invitations shown above are from Vistaprint.com
