Birthday party season makes for a busy 5 months

Do you have a birthday season in your life?  I do.  It starts around April and goes all the way through to August.

Confused? Let me explain.  A birthday season, is a period of time when I have back to back children’s parties.  And it’s like a juggernaut that moves slowly but inexorably to it’s end goal.  If you get in its way with an a double booked appointment you will inevitably have to acquiesce.

The children’s party has an almost Sanctum Santorum reverence  in the hearts and minds of Middle England’s mothers – little Timmy must have his special day.

These days you can take the Children’s Party to unparalleled heights in terms of money spent and there are an army of children’s party organisers, entertainers and caterers that will happily relieve you of your hard earned cash.

Take for example the American parents who parted with $38,000 for a kids sleepover in a FAO Schwartz (An American toy store).

But it doesn’t need to be all about the money.  There was an interesting article in the FT (of all places) which discuss how middle-class parents are shying away from elaborate expensive children’s parties to a more moderated, budget children’s party of yester-year.  I suppose everyone is cutting back why not the upwardly mobile.

An idea for an economy children’s party

I think, homemade Birthday cakes are a terrific idea.  Cake moulds can be found almost everywhere and they come in all sorts of amazing shapes.  However, there was one in particular that caught my eye.  An interactive Angry birds birthday cake.
