Birthday Family Traditions

You say it’s your birthday! If 2020 has shown us anything, it is how to slow down the pace of life and enjoy our immediate family. Some of the things that social distancing has instilled in our family is hopefully new family traditions including family birthday celebrations. We all took a hit on celebrating with friends, in a restaurant or traveling to far and distant places. This year we learned to celebration those we love by coming up with family birthday ideas!

We have a list of family birthday traditions, birthday time capsules and even a free printable birthday interview for your kid. Create memories and enjoy experiences over buying gifts with these Birthday Family Traditions!

Enjoy – and happy birthday!

Birthday Family Traditions

Let’s talk about family traditions for the birthday. I have learned (as I have had more kids) to keep it simple but special. While that can sound like an oxymoron, it’s important for us to keep the cost low but celebrate the child. One way we have kept birthdays family focused is by having a birthday celebration with friends, every other year. Then every year, we also have a family celebration. Sometimes, we choose to vacation (even if it’s only a weekend getaway) during the overlap of a birthday to make the child feel extra loved while surrounded by those that love her/him most.

Take a look a these family birthday traditions in our original post idea – Family Birthday Celebrations.

Family Birthday Ideas

Have a Birthday Breakfast
Have a “Yes” Day (say yes to everything reasonable)
Fill a Bedroom with Balloons
Have a Birthday Scavenger Hunt
Do Something New
Visit a Favorite Spot
Fill the Yard with Birthday Decorations
Have a Family Game Night (or Day)
Take a Family Trip
Have a Drive By Parade
Use a Birthday Plate and Decorated Birthday Chair
Have Experiences over Gifts (bowling, amusement park, vacations …)
Pay It Forward with a Random Act of Kindess
Add to a Birthday Time Capsule

Pay it Forward on Your Birthday!

One of our favorite family traditions is paying it forward. Use this Pay it Forward Birthday Random Act of Kindess Idea to have your kids give back on their birthday. Stop by the Dollar Tree or event he Dollar Spot of Target and drop off these free printables random acts of kindness notes with a dollar. Reward another child. Kind of like a surprise party favor for a stranger.

Birthday Time Capsule

One way to celebrate your child is to continue a birthday time capsule. You can begin with a first birthday time capsule that you add to every year. This can be smaller box just to represent the first year of life or you can create a large memory box you add to each year. One idea is to go through art work, photographs, saved school work, special moments and see what you want to keep or toss. This is a quick and easy way to declutter as well as save what is important in a yearly time capsule.

What To Include in a Birthday Time Capsule

Newspaper of the Day
Birthday Party Favors and/or Decorations
Money Printed that Year
Artwork
Birthday Invitation
Birthday Cards for Relatives and Friends
Letters to My Daughter or Letters to My Son
Birthday Photos
Handprint Art (or Footprint)
A Message from a Sibling
Yearly facts: Top songs, price of gas, current trends, etc.
Birthday Interview Questions

You can do this for the first birthday and continue on every year. If you will be doing this birthday family tradition annually, grab a larger plastic container.

Birthday Interview Questions Printables

Using a birthday time capsule, make sure to add your Birthday Interview Questionnaire. Every year give your child a birthday quiz to see how they have changed and evolved. I love that this birthday interview includes a space for a birthday photo. Such a great visual way to see how a child has grown.

Birthday Interview Questions

What makes you happy?
What makes you sad?
Who is your best friend?
What do you like to learn?
Where do you want to travel?
What is one thing you are good at?
What is your one wish?

Want to create an attractive plate and fill bellies? Get inspired with these creative and Easy Snack Boards for kids, adults, parties, and holidays. These Charcuterie Board Ideas include cured meats, tasty cheeses, fresh fruits, crackers, candies and more! Get ready to dive in and enjoy!

Snack Boards Ideas

When the kids were in school, it was so easy to fill their lunch account and trust they were getting fed (enough). Now that we are in an endless year of virtual school, I have to work all the harder on getting their bellies full. Those bottomless pits!

What is a snack board?

A snack board is a less fancy way to describe a Charcuterie (pronounced “shahr-ku-tuh-ree”) board. It is the art of preparing and assembling cheeses and cured meats. With a snack board you can get creative and are not limited to cheeses and meats. Create snack boards for adults, kids, holidays or even small parties and gatherings.

Snack boards are a budget-friendly way to feed one person or a crowd. Get creative with pantry items or store bought foods to display on platter or board. It’s a very attractive way to style food. Use fresh and dried fruit, cheese crackers, hard and soft cheese, prepared meat, and then get creative with other fixings like candy, popcorn, cookies and more!

What do I need to make a snack board?

Snack boards are beautiful but can be intimidating to the eye. They almost look too pretty to eat and where do you get started. Many of these snack board ideas come with a list of exactly what you need to buy to make a board. You might be asking yourself how to make a snack board.

First, plan your menu. Make sure you have a list of salty, sweet, fresh, and cheese (just a few ideas.) Have glass bowls for smaller items (like popcorn, fruits or nuts) as well as dips. Use a small bowl as larger bowls can be overwhelming unless you only have one.

In addition to bowls, you will need a board. There are many types of boards. Rectangular, circle, square – all shapes and sizes. I really love wooden charcuterie boards – it is always nice when the board has a raised edging keep food from falling off the edge. A wooden cutting board is fine, but since you are using it for display, I would make sure it is in decent shape.

If you want continuous inspiration for how to make snack boards, take a look at these 50 Amazing Snack Boards for Any Occasion.

Types of Snack Boards

There are many types of snack boards. You can make them for all ages and occasions. Uses as snacks for kids, party platters, or even as the perfect holiday table centerpiece (just don’t expect it to say in place!)
