MAKE THE NEXT BIRTHDAY PARTY
EASY ON YOURSELF
![Page 3: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
That special day is rolling around again – your
youngster’s birthday – along with all the planning and
anticipation that surround this momentous occasion.
![Page 4: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Don’t let preparing for what should be a fun and happy
event get you mired in stress and tiresome details.
![Page 5: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Here are a few pointers for crafting a memorable
day without causing yourself undue headaches.
![Page 6: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
HEAD OUTDOORS
![Page 7: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
At-home parties can be a super and
economical way to celebrate your child’s
special day.
![Page 8: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
However, planning indoor games and
crafts can be a bit time-consuming, and
games of Simon Says, musical chairs or
follow-the-leader don’t ever take as
much time as you may think.
![Page 9: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Holding your event at an outdoor playground or beach (think a lot of supervision) gives you a nice big block of easy entertainment.
![Page 10: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Keep an eye on everyone,
pause for food, cake and
present-opening, and
before you know it, a
successful birthday event
is at a happy end.
![Page 11: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
If your youngster is a
sports enthusiast,
consider an ice rink,
soccer field or swimming
pool for the event.
![Page 12: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Another fun way to keep guests
entertained in nice weather is to have a
scavenger hunt, hire a moon walk or set
up a back yard obstacle course.
![Page 13: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
STAGE A SUPER
SLEEPOVER
![Page 14: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Once your child and his friends are old enough, consider having a sleepover party. But don’t expect to get a lot of sleep.
![Page 15: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
It may sound a bit wild
having a bunch of kids
bunking at your house for
the whole night …
![Page 16: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
… but if you stick to a
reasonable number, a
sleepover is a pretty easy
shindig to stage.
![Page 17: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Most youngsters are just
excited to be spending a
whole night giggling and
watching movies with
their pals …
![Page 18: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
… so you won’t have
to worry about
extensive game, craft
and activity planning.
![Page 19: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Keep the food simple;
pizza and cake are
always big hits.
![Page 20: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
You can have a lights-out
time, but be prepared for
some residual whispering
and giggling for a while.
![Page 21: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
A key component to a
successful sleepover is to
specify a pick-up time for
the next morning.
![Page 22: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Whip up some pancakes or
just take the easy route
with donuts and hot
chocolate and then have
them packed up and ready
for their parents’ arrival.
![Page 23: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
A sleepover birthday
party with a small group
of close friends can truly
be a treasured memory
for your child.
![Page 24: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
KEEP THE
CHOW SIMPLE
![Page 25: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Remember, this is a
kids’ party, so food
doesn’t have to be
particularly fancy.
![Page 26: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
It is, however, fun to tie
in the menu with the
party’s theme.
![Page 27: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
A few pizzas are fine for
the main course and you
can make the food
presentation fun by serving
it up on colorful dishes.
![Page 28: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Older kids can have fun
preparing the food, whether
it’s building their own tacos
or sandwiches …
![Page 29: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
… going wild with an
ice cream sundae bar
or decorating their
own cupcakes.
![Page 30: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Serve finger foods and bite-
sized pieces to minimize
clean-up afterward.
![Page 31: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
DON’T HAVE IT
AT HOME
![Page 32: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Although it may be
slightly more expensive
to hold the festivities at
an alternate venue …
![Page 33: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
… the savings in time,
game planning and food
preparation are well worth
the extra few dollars.
![Page 34: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Not all birthday party
venues are created equal
and not all are
prohibitively expensive.
![Page 35: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Consider your youngster’s
interests and solicit her
input as to where she and
her friends would have the
most fun …
![Page 36: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
… and then see where this
falls within your budget.
![Page 37: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Day camp facilities like
Maplewood Day Camp
are great because they
provide a wide variety of
both indoor …

… and outdoor
activities from rock
climbing to bumper
boats and moon walks.
![Page 39: Make the next birthday party easy on yourself 2](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021402/579077f71a28ab6874c03d03/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Whatever party route you choose, try to
just relax and enjoy this special day with
your child.
