There is a certain charm to the birthday parties of the 50's, 60's and 70's. The parties often were simple, yet fun!
Break out the family photo album from when you were a kid to help you plan your child's birthday party. Of course, since not everyone has birthday party photos from their childhood, you can find old pictures and information on the Internet. You don't need to reenact a particular celebration, but you can use old photos as inspiration.
Besides recreating the look and feel of an old fashioned party, play some classic birthday party games. You can save time by not trying to reinvent the wheel. Plus, the simplicity of the games and activities will probably help you save money. And, fun never goes out of style!
Lastly, sharing treasured memories from your childhood adds to the family connection you have with your child!
