Party Politics: A guide to kids’ birthday parties

By on

As a first time mum-to-be I never thought beyond the pregnancy, impending birth and holding my newborn baby. In a way you forget that this tiny being you are waiting for is going to grow up. Each year the date that they arrived into this world comes flashing around and it’s birthday time.

For the first year or two you can get away with whatever celebrations you, as parents, want to. There is no input from the child. In fact, your little one will probably not even notice it’s their birthday. Enjoy that fact. Before you know it you will be dealing with the ins and outs of birthday parties. Not only your own kids but, as they make friends, their friend’s birthdays too.
