A perfect birthday party starts with the perfect birthday party invitation. And your seasonal birthday party is no exception. Pick the perfect invitation; add the right food and drink menu and you've got a recipe for a perfect party no matter what the season.
Spring
A spring birthday party is a great time to celebrate 'spring fever.' Everyone has been stuck inside all winter and is looking forward to getting outside for some spring fun. Take advantage of the weather with garden parties, yard games, and carnival parties. Borrow your invitation colors from the pastel colors of the season and you're off to a great start. Pick a menu that's easy to eat and serve outside and you're all set for a spring birthday that won't soon be forgotten.
To make sure your spring party is a success make sure you have an indoor 'plan b' as the spring weather, while mostly sunny, can be unpredictable.
Summer
What would summer be without a backyard barbeque? Celebrate your next summer birthday with a hot grill and cool beverages. There are tons of great outdoor themes for your summer birthday. Set up games in the yard for a sports theme. Decorate with some flags and sparklers for a 4th of July theme. Blow up some beach balls and make sure everyone brings their flip-flops for a beach theme. Mix up some fruity punches for Hawaiian or tropical themes. Your summer party is only limited by your imagination. Make sure you have plenty of sunscreen on hand to prevent an accidental sunburn. And keep the cool drinks coming, both kids and adults can get thirsty playing outside in the hot sun. Or consider hosting your summer birthday at a local pool to keep your guests cool.
Sometimes, kids with winter birthdays miss out on the outdoor fun of a summer birthday. Plan a birthday this year instead of a traditional birthday party. This is also a perfect ploy anytime of the year to keep a surprise party secret. Nobody expects to celebrate their year birthday.
Autumn
Fall may be back to school time, but it doesn't have to be the end of fun. Autumn can be a great time for a fun Halloween-themed birthday party, autumn harvest party or even a back-to-school birthday party. It doesn't have to be Halloween to have a costume party for your fall birthday. Celebrate the fall harvest with a menu full of fall treats like caramel-apples and pumpkin pie. Invite your guests to bring their favorite fall dish and you've got a delicious fall pot-luck. Host a birthday hay ride and give our guests a wonderful autumn memory that will have them asking to be invited back next year. Don't forget some warm drinks to take the chill off. A hot apple cider is the perfect sip for a chilly autumn evening.
Winter
Winter can be the most wonderful time of the year for a birthday party. Host a sleigh ride or ice skating party to get your guests in the winter mood. Keep your menu hot and hearty and your guests will be satisfied and jolly. Warm drinks are also a must. Try peppermint hot chocolate, hot buttered rum or even egg nog to warm up the birthday festivities. If you're determined to not be stuck inside invite your guests to come dressed warm and take to the yard to build snowmen, snow forts or have a snowball fight. If the weather isn't too cold, you might want to build a bon fire and roast marshmallows for s'mores.
Any season can be perfect for celebrating a birthday if you just know how to take advantage of seasonal opportunities. Get creative and make your next birthday party shine.
