Birthdays are fun, why not celebrate the half!? These Half Birthday Party Ideas are perfect for the young and hold – ages 6 months to 100 years plus!

Half Birthday Party Ideas

It seems like adding a celebration for every day of the year is becoming a think. We have son’s day, cat day, national love a tree day. I might be making some of these up, but official holidays are picking up and a half birthday celebration is too.

When is my half birthday?

You might be asking what’s a half birthday? Basically a half birthday is a unique and special date to everyone. It can be found by adding six months to your birthday and celebrating the halfway milestone. Need help finding your half birthday mark? You can use a handy half birthday calculator to help you find your special date. Often this themed party is recognized for young babies when they turn six months, but they are becoming more and more of a thing for young kids and adults too, especially for a summer baby or winter birthday when friends might be traveling and parties can be a challenge.

My youngest kids (the twins) birthday is a few days away from Christmas. This is always a rough time to celebrate. People who have birthdays close to major holidays often speak of feeling a little “cheated” out of gifts. Having a small June celebration, even if only a small gift, special dinner, and a half birthday cake, would be a fun way to celebrate them when the busy season doesn’t over shadow their birthday. Contrary, if your child has a summer birthday, a half birthday is a way to recognize it when friends are not traveling or perhaps in the classroom.

Half Birthday Ideas

Not that we have established what is a half birthday and reasons to have a half birthday, let’s take a look at these Half Birthday Celebration ideas. Just like a regular birthday, this new party trend is fun. Why not celebrate the unbirthday aka the half birthday party them!?

Shower them with cake. It’s important to have some half birthday cake ideas in your back pocket. We love this half cake idea from Beki Cooks Cake Blog. How cute is the back side?

Happy 1/2 birhday! Celebrate a half birthday in the classroom with these half birthday bag toppers and party favor free printables from Over the Big Moon.

Finding an important half birthday outfit might feel important, but don’t forget the accessories like the party hat. Lalalola has some cute baby half birthday ideas and designs for your six month old.

If your not into creating a half birthday cake , how about this sweet dessert. In the theme of half, make half brownies and half cookies plus grab a free half birthday printable from Mother’s Niche. Place the sign in an 8×10 frame or on the front door!

Cut everything in half – the food, the plates, and the napkins like Beki Cooks Cake Blog.

Do small presents on the half hour like Mother’s Niche! It does’t take much – small gifts of candy, gift cards, loved chapstick, etc.

Half the burgers and hot dogs! Maybe add half a pizza! Cute ideas on Let Go Laughing.

Easy Half Party Decorations could be simple like a banner and streamers. Grab this Half Birthday Banner and buy it for every birthday in your home!

Have a special breakfast (the hostess aka you) gets to drink/eat the other half! Idea on a Mother’s Niche.

Make it a surprise party. People might expect a birthday around their birthday, but no one expects a surprise party on their half birthday! Love this party favor from Our Hobby House – Thanks for HALFing a good time! Consider putting in half a candy bar.

A basket would be a cute addition to baby half birthday ideas. Add balloons and have a half way to one photo shoot for a half birthday! | Source

Don’t forget to pack a surprise lunch. No need to add gifts, just wrap up their sandwich, fruit and chips like Craftibilities.

Six months old?! How about this cute half birthday photo shoot. Fill the crib with balloons for a half birthday ideas for baby birthday boy -or a girl! | Source

These birthday balloons are a fun surprise and best of all will not be expected on a half birthday (notice they are half way down the door!) Organize Your Stuff Now shows you how to fill them with money!

Half birthday party supplies might be hard to come by. Instead make the table festive with little expense. These Kid-friendly place settings use kraft paper trimmed with a washi tape border. Disposable bamboo plates get dressed up with decorative washi tape cut to spell 1/2. More half birthday ideas from Camille Styles.

Confetti OREOs dipped halfway into chocolate make delicious treats. Recipe on Sprinkles for Breakfast.

Don’t forget you can have half birthday for adults too. As a gag gift, give them half the glass. Half full or half empty, your call! Great gift for dad. This half glass works as well.

Two Moms and a Blog filled the hallway with balloons. Weigh them down with quarters (for older kids) or tie them to small gifts.

Party and create half a masterpiece like this half birthday birthday at Dazzle White Frazzled.

It’s true! People who have more birthdays live longer! Celebrate with this quote and your favorite felt letter board. | Milk Honey Nutrition on Instagram

If you have an older half birthday, take them on a Birthday Treasure Hunt. It doesn’t have to be a big prize at the end, just something small and a cute way to recognize a half birthday. These 20 Birthday Scavenger Hunt Riddles are perfect for an at home celebration.

Now that we have infiltrated your head with ides for a half birthday, let’s find yours so you can celebrate!

What’s My Half Birthday?

It’s very easy to calculate your half birthday. First, identify your birth date. Take your birthday month and count six months later. Keeping the same numeric date, that is your half birthday. You have only switched the month.

For example, my birthday July 15th. I calculate six months from July. It’s January. So my half birthday is January 15th.

Enjoy and half fun looking for something to celebrate YOU and your family and friends more than once a year!

Ready to party? Keep the kids entertained. Take a look at these 50+ Kids’ Party Games – indoor, outdoor, night, birthday.

Toast to these Cheers & Beers Party Ideas. Everything you need to host a beer tasting party at home. Oktoberfest Party Ideas or any occasion beer recipes, party decor, beer tasting kits, and more!

Cheers & Beers Party Ideas

Cheers and beers! Because our Wine & Cheese Party ideas were so popular, we of course add to add post for Beer Party Ideas. Be prepared to be amazed with beer party appetizers, décor, recipes, tablescapes and, of course, cheese!

Are you 21 or above? If yes, proceed. If not, have you seen our amazing glow party ideas?! How about our Charcuterie Snack Board Ideas? Take a look!

What beer should I get for a party?

Starting with the right drink is important when hosting a beer party. Often the first question asked is, what beer should I get for a party? If beer is the “theme” of the party, it is important to have a variety of beers. This can be achieved by asking everyone to bring a different variety of beers. If you have a beer keg, consider something something light like a a pale ale! If renting a beer keg, often the brewery can direct you to a beer that is universally liked by both dark and light beer lovers. Search beer keg rental near me.

How do I host a beer tasting party at home?

If hosting a home beer tasting party, it is important to have a variety of light and dark beers as well as a variety of notes. What are notes in beer? Basic notes in beer include malty, grainy, sweet, corn-like, hay, straw, graham cracker, caramel, toast, roast, coffee, espresso, burnt, alcohol, leather, pine, fresh cut grass, pumpkin, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and allspice. You can also include Dark Fruit Aromas like raisins, currant, plum, dates, prunes, figs, blackberry, blueberry.

To a achieve a variety of flavors for a beer tasting party, take a look at a Beer Sampler 6-Pack (also called a “mix 6”). Consider visiting a local brewery and they usually have tasting notes for the individual beers! This would be a great way to acquire your variety of beers too.

*Often beer tasting parties can lead to additional alcohol intake. Please use a ride sharing service like Uber for arriving and departing parties.

Beer party images that will get the party going!

Everything you need to get inspired! Cheers and beers menu, decorations, crafts, kits and more. Let’s get started…

Pretzel Charcuterie Board with Beer Cheese Dip

Since we love a good Charcuterie Board, we had to start with this amazing Pretzel Snack Board. Kick it up with a hot pretzel bar and lots of dipping sauce too! This is best with a soft pretzels but hard pretzels or cubed bread will work too. | How Sweet Eats

Pumpkin Beer Cooler

Oktoberfest? Have a pumpkin beer cooler! Such a cute way to style your tablescape with beer in a pumpkin. First remove the top and clean the inside of the pumpkin. Optional, place a clear glass bowl in the center of the pumpkin. Lastly, add ice and beer to keep your bottles cold. You’re even cooler (no pun) if you get beer notes with pumpkin flavor (like ground ginger, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and allspice.) | How Sweet Eats

Beer Party Decor

Instead of a cheers and beers banner, try this idea. When looking for the best beer party décor, it’s possible to make your own by upcycling boxes you are using for the party. Take a look at our DIY Beer Garland from our Trailer Park Murder Mystery Party.

Mini Philly Cheesesteaks

You need some carbs to soak up the drinks. For a tasty beer party recipe, take a look at our Copycat White Castle Sliders or make these Mini Philly Cheesesteaks appetizers (from Valentina’s Corner) for a beer party. A petite version of a Philadelphia classic. Sliced roast beef, paired with a savory cheese sauce, accented with sautéed onions, peppers, and mushrooms; placed in a petite roll.

Printable Cheese Board Labels

You have to have an amazing variety of cheeses. When picking cheese for a beer party, pay attention to these rules.

Riper and richer cheeses can handle a stronger beer and a higher alcohol percentage.
Mild cheeses go well with mild beers.
Sharp blue cheeses can handle a heavy black stout.

Ad an added note, we especially love the beer cheese from Trader Joe’s. Download our printable cheese board labels. If you want the larger set, grab the Cheese Markers on Etsy.

Beer Tasting Kit at Home

When looking for Beer Party activities, I love the idea of a blind tasting. A beer tasting birthday party wouldn’t be complete without a Beer Tasting Station. This is really easy to do and you can do a blind taste test using a brown paper bag or pick up these blind beer tasting bags or blind beer tasting board game. Don’t forget our own Tasting Score Card and Beer Games for Drinking. | Modern Moments Designs

Candied Bacon Recipe

Stockpile on the bacon because our Candied Bacon Recipe will be the most excellent addition to your beer party with friends. One option is to place them on a stick, and place your sticks in a glass beer mug for an easy beer party appetizer idea.

Inexpensive Party Food

When looking for party snacks, chips, nuts and snack mixes are a great mix. I love how these are displayed in glass bowls and fun appetizer wire baskets with basket liners. | Fete a Fete

Beer Bottle Cap Craft Idea

For easy beer party décor, upcycle beer bottle caps and a chalkboard. Add beer quotes, a beer menu list, and more. If you make enough, you could even hand them out as beer party party favors when guests leave or have a bowl as these Bottle Opener Rings for beer party party favor ideas as well. | Source

Hoptimistic: The belief that everything will be fine with a craft beer.
Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

Cheers & Beers Cakes

Is this a middle age birthday party idea? Take a look at this Cheers and Beers to 40 Years birthday cake. I love how the cheers and beers cake tier is made of beer cans. Pair with our Guinness Chocolate Cupcakes. | Catch My Party

Cheers & Beers Appetizer Recipe

Keep that table flowing with tasty bites. Look at these Balsamic Garlic Grilled Mushroom Skewers, smoky grilled balsamic and garlic marinated mushroom skewers from Closet Cooking… then you can say you served vegetables and count it off your food pyramid checklist for the day.

Beer Cheese Dip

For a beer cheese recipe that feed a crowd, try this Creamy Beer Cheese Dip Tear Apart Bread Bowl. Man, I hope there are leftovers! | Take Two Tappas

Beer Cheese Smokies

To me, beer screams bratwurst dogs. Instead of the large thing, try these minis. A kickin’ Crock-Pot recipe with cheesy beer smokies. Your favorite smokies loaded with beer cheese sauce and tabasco for a kick! | Julie’s Eats and Treats

Beer Bread

We have a number of Guinness Beer recipes you can serve for a beer party at home. Take a look at our Guinness beer bread, Guinness cupcakes, and Guinness beef stew.

Mermaid parties are a fun theme idea for a girls’ party. Enjoy 11 mermaid party games & activities that will wow the kids and make a memorable day for the birthday girl and her little mermaids.

Do your kids love mermaids? Mermaid themed birthday parties are full of colorful decorations, a backdrop, garlands and fun party supplies. The centerpiece is usually a beautiful decorated mermaid cake or two which represents the ocean or perhaps a sparkly glitter mermaid tail.

Like you, I’m always looking for creative new ideas that truly stand out at kid’s birthday parties. I’ve put together some mermaid party games that your little mermaid & her friends will love.

Mermaid Games for Kids

Mermaid themed games are a terrific way to keep kids entertained during your next birthday party. One of the best things about these mermaid party activities is their simplicity, they require almost no planning on your part.

Mermaid party games are great fun for any mermaid-themed birthday party. Creative games keep your guests entertained and having fun! With these exciting and engaging mermaid games you guests will be sure to keep moving and laughing without requiring too much prep work on your part.

Mermaid Games for Parties

Planning the perfect mermaid party isn’t hard with fun snacks and unique party ideas. But if you really want to take your child’s birthday party to the next level mermaid birthday party games are a must.

So, let’s get started thinking about the mermaid party games you could plan for your next mermaid-themed birthday party!

Musical Islands

This fun party activity gets everyone up and moving. Plus it’s super easy to set up! All you need is some hula hoops, a die, and tropical music. Similar to the classic musical chairs game, party guests move around the area while the music is playing. When the music stops, everyone will choose a numbered hula hoop to stand in. Roll the die and everyone in the matching number are out. Keep playing until there is only one person left. The winner is the last person standing!

Seaweed Limbo

Using colorful crepe paper tied to poles, mermaids will swim under the seaweed. The rules are the same as traditional limbo. Each round the poles are lowered, making the game more challenging. Whoever can still fit under when the last pole is in place wins!

Pass the Treasure

Similar to a Christmas gift wrapping game, treasure is wrapped in layers of colorful wrapping paper and bubble wrap. Pass the treasure around the circle until the music stops. Who ever is holding the package unwraps one layer of the treasure.

Participants can either keep any small trinkets that are unwrapped in the layers. The party game ends when the treasure is unwrapped. The lucky mermaid that unwraps the last layer gets the prize!

Burst the Bubble

This is another great active game that can be set up in seconds and played with all ages. All you need for this game is two sets of bubbles for each team. Keeping the opposite team from popping all your team’s bubbles while popping their bubbles is the goal. The team with bubbles left at the end of the game wins!

Seaweed Tangle

Using rolls of crepe paper (shades of blue, purple and green streamers work best for a mermaid theme) party guests will decorate their “ocean” with “seaweed” to make a fun maze that they can swim through.

Participants can go to treasure chests and pick out rewards like candy, pearl necklaces, jewels, mermaid crafts, or sequin wands.

Even more rewarding will be the empty stomachs ready for mermaid party food and tasty cupcakes for dessert!

Mermaid Party Games Printable PDF

The mermaid party games PDF download has eleven creative games that are perfect for any mermaid themed birthday party or summer party. Some mermaid games can be played with simple supplies, others will require a little bit of planning and creativity. The most important thing is to have fun!

These 11 Mermaid Party Printables will keep the kiddos entertained. From party games with balloons, party favor treasures, and relay races. Games include:

Skee Ball Toss – This is always a popular game choice for any children’s parties! But why not make it more interesting with a LEGO twist? Kids will love trying to toss the building bricks into the circles to get the highest points for their team.

Pin the LEGO Head – Played much like a traditional pin the tail on the donkey game. Each child gets a chance to put his or her blindfold on and then try to pin the LEGO head on the minifigure’s body.

LEGO Relay Race – Spoon race is a classic game. Using spoons and building bricks, create a LEGO themed relay race for your kids and their friends. Kids will love seeing who can get their pieces across the line and build the tower the fastest!

Building Challenge – A classic game that is now even better with a LEGO twist! Use the PDF of challenge cards to give the kids a building challenge and a time limit and see what they come up with. Each player will have the same number and kind of blocks to complete the challenge. You can give small prizes for the creations like “tallest creation”, “most unique build” and “most LEGO bricks used” for added excitement.

Mini Figure Knockdown – The classic-style game is turned into a fun LEGO destroying challenge! Players will use NERF guns or water blasters to knock down as many LEGO man mini-figures as possible within the time limit.

Tallest Tower – How tall can your LEGO tower go? Players will race the clock and other players, stacking their bricks to see who gets the highest tower and is declared the winner! For a variation, kick the game up a notch and have the players wear blindfolds!

LEGO Chopstick Shuffle – A simple challenge, but a fun one with a twist! Give each player a bowl or pile of bricks and an empty bowl. Set the timer, and have them use only the chopsticks to transfer the LEGO blocks to the empty bowl. The player with the most building bricks in the second bowl when the timer goes off, wins!

These entertaining games are sure to make your child’s party one the kids will be talking about for weeks! Best of all, you likely have most of the supplies – LEGO pieces!

How to Throw a Wine Tasting Party with Games

Plan the perfect wine tasting party with these helpful tips and hilarious party games that will have your party guests talking about for years to come!

If you’re looking for a great way to spend an evening with friends, family or colleagues then consider throwing a wine tasting party. Plan a few classy wine tasting games, add some small bites that complement the wine flavors, and a delicious dessert and you have one amazing party that will have all the guests raving!

Which types of wine should I serve?

A sparkling wine is always a great way to start the night while people are arriving. Next, a nice white wine is fantastic and pairs well with a variety of foods (think savory appetizers). Reds are heavier in flavor so best for dinner parties or later in the evening when people have already eaten or paired with a dessert. Consider serving one red and one white to your guests if you’re not sure which they’ll prefer.

What should I serve while tasting?

A lot of people might think wine tasting is all about the wine, but it’s just as important to have something to go with it! If you’re hosting this kind of party at home, take some time beforehand to plan out what foods will match up best with each type of wine you’re serving.

For a wine & cheese party, serve light appetizers like cheese plates or olives when there are still plenty of gaps between courses so that no one feels too full after eating. Choose flavors that compliment the type of wines. For example, cheese like brie goes great with light white wines, goat’s milk ricotta tastes amazing with bolder whites and blueberries go perfect with sweet dessert wines.

Put together a charcuterie board with cheeses, grapes on the vine, pickles, olives, a few varieties of crackers and prosciutto for an impressive spread that your guests will love. You can also make individual charcuterie board jars or small plates that are served with each wine, to make sure the tastings match up seamlessly.

It’s also great to have a nice dessert to finish off the night. Try a sweet treat that pairs well with wine like tiramisu or a fruit tart.

Wine Tasting Games

What a party without entertainment and tons of laughs? Take the stress out of planning and grab these fun, printable wine tasting games for a great night that your guests (and you!) are sure to enjoy.

Included are also cards for taking notes and scoring your favorite wines. You don’t have to use all of these games, but pick a few that will work best with the people you invited and your budget. The five page set includes beautiful colors and a list of supplies that make it easy to shop.

Some favorite games included in the printable set:

I’m Going to a Bar- Similar to “Going on a Bear Hunt” this fun game will test your memory and rhythm skills which makes for a hilarious time, especially after a few cocktails!

Straight Face- Try not to laugh when these silly phrases are read aloud. See who has the best poker face as your guests try not to crack a smile.

You’ll need pencils, strips of paper, a bucket or basket (optional) to put the strips of paper in to play this funny game.

Defy Gravity– Guaranteed to challenge your skills, the goal of this game is to keep balloons in the air longer than your opponents!

Prosecco Pong– Classy pong? Yes, please! For this game you’ll need a larger space to set up the plastic wine glasses, ping pong balls, and extra bottles of prosecco.

Heads Up– Using your phone, download the ‘Heads Up’ app to play this guessing game.

Planning a great party

Host a memorable wine tasting party with fun games and provide an opportunity to try new wines. But before you start planning, here are some tips on how to throw a successful party:

Choose plate and decoration colors that look nice with wine colors like pink, maroon, red, or even a black or gold accent.
Make sure there are enough seats or stools available in each area of the house where people might want to sit down, focusing on the area where games will be played.
Invite friends who like similar things as yourself
If possible, ask what guests’ dietary restrictions are ahead of time – it’ll save you from having to offer a bunch of different options
Don’t drink too much before people arrive! You’ll be stuck hosting things without even being present for half the event. Keep one glass on hand so guests know that they can get something to drink when needed, but don’t add more than two glasses – this will prevent you from becoming too tipsy as well.
Keep extra chairs around in case someone has an unexpected guest show up at the last minute. No one wants to feel like you weren’t expecting them.

I hope these tips along with our wine and cheese party games help you plan the perfect night for your friends and family. For more wine and cheese party ideas that don’t break the bank, check out this post for more ideas to make your gathering your guests are talking about for years to come.
