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.

Birthday Family Traditions and Celebrations

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

Family Birthday Ideas


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.

First Birthday 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

  • 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.


We also have a time capsule for the Last Day of School. This include a list of questions for your child to fill out year after year. Add to a binder or a memory box and see how your child has changed. Start the tradition in Pre-K or start any year. The Last Day of School Time Capsule Set goes from Pre-K until 12th grade.

Tea for Two Tea-rrific Tea Party Ideas

Have you ever dreamed of going to a high tea in London? It’s such a treat to imagine spending an afternoon in a fashionable outfit with all the tea party food (and tea, of course) that you could want! I’m sure that most of you have memories of tea parties you put on as a child. The great thing about a tea party is that it never goes out of style!

This is your sign to relive your childhood tea parties, with a grown-up twist. If your little ones want to get involved and have a tea party of their own, save these ideas for their next playdate or birthday party! These ideas for tea and tea party food inspiration are amazing for any tea-riffic tea party. Pinkies up!

What is a tea party?

A tea party is a festive, tea-centric gathering. While it can take place anytime, it is often in the afternoon and includes tea party food, namely mini cakes, bite-sized sandwiches, and other light refreshments.

Tea parties are especially lovely in the spring and summer, and even better if they take place in a sunny outdoor area. An outdoor party idea is great for distancing but still coming together in celebration.

Of course, you can’t forget the tea!

What teas are best for a tea party?

If the day is hot, it may be best to opt for an iced tea. To become the ultimate host, let your guests select from a complete list of teas, including…

  • Earl Grey Tea
  • Herbal Tea
  • Green Tea
  • Lavender Tea
  • Rose Tea
  • Chamomile Tea
  • Mint Tea

While many herbal teas are naturally decaffeinated, make sure to include a completely decaf option for those who are sensitive to caffeine. Looking to go the extra mile and include all the fixings? Serve up your tea with your guests’ choice of lemon, a sugar cube, milk, honey, or edible flower infused ice cubes!

Which foods should you serve at a tea party?

Your traditional bites include finger sandwiches, mini cakes or pastries, and light refreshments. A tea party spread is typically meant to be a light meal rather than a gigantic, opulent spread, so there’s no need to go crazy! Quality over quantity is the best way to go for your tea party menu.

Typical tea party food includes…

  • Finger sandwiches
  • Mini cupcakes
  • Macaroons
  • Fruit salads
  • Biscuits, scones or tea cookies
  • Tarts
  • Sponge cakes

You’ll be ready to host a tea party fit for a queen with these ideas for tea! These Tea for Two Tea-rrific Tea Party Ideas will prepare you to host a fabulous garden party with your friends. Enjoy!

Tea Party Ideas

Now that you the party activities all figured out, take a look at these tea party ideas perfect for queens of all ages. It’s time to par-tea!

Use your leftover egg cartons to craft these Tea-rrific Tea Cup Party Invitations. We used them as Mother’s Day Cards, but they fit right into the tea party theme! Be specific in your invitation about your themed event. We think using this upcycled idea is pretty clear of the them. You can also asks guests to bring something like pearls, boas or even have them invite their teddy bear or American girl!

These Flower Ladies Handkerchiefs are a beautiful way to decorate your tea party table. This tea party tablescape prints in colors of mint, pink, and creams. What is really fun about everyone having their own hanky, is most sets come with different patterns and styles so everyone can quickly identify which napkin is theirs. It also make a nice tea party favor.  | Jenny Cookies

Bite sized snacks are the perfect tea party food. These Strawberry Cheesecake Strawberry Bites make a fabulous, light dessert.

Wood sliced table chargers make a beautiful spot for a mason jar flower centerpiece. Top them with a doily, macaroons, mini cupcakes or other bite-sized treats. Head over to Watch Them Grow for more great tea party ideas!

Have you ever thought to include honeydew in a savory and sweet salad? You’d be surprised at how delicious this Honeydew Cucumber Salad is!

Jazz up floral bouquets from your grocery store or florist by adding a lace parasol in the center for this tea party idea! It offers unique tea party decorations and brightens up any table. (Source Unknown)

This English wedding and display books, teacups and flowers has adorable inspiration for your ideas for tea centerpieces! Need to grab tea party décor on a budget. Visit a thrift store or even Goodwill before the big event.

Finger sandwiches are a must when it comes to tea party food! Try something new with these Strawberry Tea Sandwiches. You can also go with your traditional finger sandwiches like egg salad, peanut butter and jam, cream cheese and salmon or even turkey!

Head to your local thrift or vintage shop and seek out some old tea cups. You can use them for tea of course, but here they were used for dip! So creative. The possibilities are endless! (Website no longer available.)

Tea bag cookies are the perfect tea party dessert! Get this Tea Party Cookie Recipe. How adorable are these tea party themed cookies with baker’s twine? | Photo Source Munchkin Munchies (no longer available, see a similar tea bag cookie recipe.)

Is your tea party garden themed? Make a mini garden with baby carrots, hummus and parsley. You can buy mini clay pots on the cheap here!

Food just tastes better on a stick. Keep things elegant and adorable with these watermelon slices on sticks. Genius! | Source

Make a Funfetti Naked Cake. Naked cakes take the difficult decorating out of making a cake for your tea party, but they look so classy! This cake introduces blueberries but you can also use outdoor elements like flowers, herbs, and more.

Make mini parfaits with granola, yogurt and strawberries. We love the budget-friendly wooden spoon tied with pink and white baker’s twine to the cups! The pink in the twine and the strawberries look adorable together.

Make a beautiful tea party tablescape with faux pearls draped around tea cups, doilies, saucers and vintage books. This looks like it came straight out of Alice in Wonderland! What’s best about decorating for an afternoon tea, is you can mix and match. The less matchy, the more authentic an approach your party takes.

Back to low cost and where to find cheap décor. This DIY 3 tier stand was made with Dollar Tree finds. It is incredibly easy to DIY, inexpensive, and will perfectly show off your tea party food like quiches, scones, tea cakes, pastries, tiny chocolates and more!

Of course, you have to dress up for your tea party! These lace gloves will add a beautiful, classy touch to your outfit.  (Source Unknown)

Edible flowers and herbs really take a glass of iced tea or sparkling water over the top. Try adding mint, rosemary, basil, lavender, honeysuckle, hibiscus and dandelion.

No need to stick to cucumber sandwiches. Pile doughnuts high and decorate them with a floral touch! Who can resist a donut cake? | The Knot

You’ll need some cute utensils to devour your tea party food with! Make your own shabby chic utensils, including this pearl wrapped fork. Is it too much? We think not!

A themed tea party isn’t complete without a refreshing drink option! For those that don’t like to sip tea, this strawberry, mint infused lemon water looks perfect for a spring tea party! (Unknown image source, recipe here)

Who are these Treasure Hunt Clues for?

Toddlers: When doing this new year treasure hunt with toddlers, pair the child with older kids, or an adult, to guide them through the riddle clues. As hints, you can also have pictures of each item featured in the clues.

The mission is to be the child that runs the race with the shortest time limit. The winner gets a trophy (which isn’t really a trophy – just all the glory and boast) which means so much to any teen!

Adults: Why not? Take on your inner youth and go on on a scavenger hunt around the home. The rewards are small bottles of liquor or maybe one pound lost at each new clue…. man, I would be running that race fast! But really, if doing this hunt for a significant other, you could make it sweet and have a photo of memorable events of the past year. It create a cute and instant photo album. Toast with Champagne glasses at the end.

Need a party idea? Looking to host a white party theme event? We have all the White Party Ideas to get you celebrating. From White Party Decor, White Party Foods, and White Party Outfits, take a look at these resources to get your starting. Happy partying. Happy white partying!

White Party Ideas

While we made an adorable Winter ONEderland Party (for a one year old), I get a lot of visitors for White Theme Party Ideas. Because of this, I wanted to take some of our Winter Wonderland Ideas and incorporate it into an adult white party, for those of you that are looking!

What is a white themed party?

Do not get confused, a white party is not to exclude any race. In fact, it’s pretty opposite. It is to celebrate all! The White Party Theme is pretty self-explanatory. It is a party where the color white is the theme. From the food to the party decor, the clothing, the tablescape, and more, everything is attached to the color white. White parties are great for bachelorette parties, baby showers,  New Year’s Eve celebrations, summer parties, or really any occasion.

White parties are best in the evening from sunset to late at night. The white is perfect for lighting techniques like black lights, candles, or even fairy lights. The biggest struggle is likely with the food. Trying to find white food can be especially challenging.  Pinterest is always a great place to find white food but we also included some White Party Food ideas below.

Before your party begins, don’t forget to download your White Party Music Club List!


Enjoy the party!… we mean the White Themed Party!

White Party Decor

white candy buffet

What do you serve at a White Party?

The easiest way to have white food is to have a white candy buffet. It requires no baking but really brings your color pallet forward. I love Oh Nuts which allows you to shop by color. I recommend some these Anchor Hocking Heritage Hill Jars, also hit up the Dollar Store for cheaper options. Candy Warehouse also has a whole White Party Candy Buffet kit (glass not included). Don’t forget the white rock candy!

If some are not working at purchase, write Amazon and see if they can replace. That way you are not disappointed the day off!

Looking for an adventure on your camping trip? Print out this camping scavenger hunt printable set for a fun activity for families with kids of all ages!

Camping Scavenger Hunt Printable

For those of you who enjoy a little bit of adventure on your camping trips, we have the perfect game for you: Camping Scavenger Hunt! This activity will help break up the monotony of a campout and give everyone something to do.

We’ve included some printables that can be used as clues in our scavenger hunt, as well as some riddles that may stump you along the way – but they’re all great fun. The best part is that this game can be adjusted to suit any age group or skill level, so it’s perfect for families with children of varying ages!

How to plan a camping scavenger hunt

Before the camping trip

  • Download and print out the camping scavenger hunt printables on cardstock.
  • Look over the clue cards and decide which ones work best for your group or family. Don’t forget to consider your location and what’s available where you’ll be camping.
  • Plan which order you want the treasure hunt riddles to be in according to your campsite, then add the number to the back of the clues.
  • On the clues and answers page, make a mark through any clues you don’t end up using so there’s no confusion later.
  • Print out however many “do not touch” labels you need on computer paper or adhesive label paper.
  • Attach the labels to the flat side of envelopes, setting clue one aside.

When you arrive at the campsite

Once you get to the campsite, double check your riddles and locations so setting up the game is quick and easy. You’ll want to take something like thin nails and a small hammer or even thumbtacks and tape that won’t leave residue to attach the clues to various surfaces.

It’s important to remove the tape, nails or tacks after the game is over so you can leave nature the way you found it.

Camping scavenger hunt rules

Read the first clue off and encourage the group to solve the scavenger hunt riddles together.

Once the riddle is solved, the group should head to the location(s) they think the clues are pointing to. When the group finds a clue, read it aloud, work to solve it together, then move on to solving the next one until they are done and the last envelope is found.

When you’re done hunting for treasures, take down any cards you haven’t used (or that weren’t found) so other campers don’t find them by accident and spend too much time trying to figure out what they are.

More fun camping activities

If you need more activities after your group completes the scavenger hunt, there are plenty of other activities for your next camping trip!

  • Sing campfire songs: Make up silly lyrics to some old favorites
  • Make s’mores: I mean, if you don’t make s’mores on a camping trip, did you really even camp?
  • Night Hide and Seek:  When the sun goes down and the night sky appears, play Flashlight Tag
  • Photos: Take photos of your group on each day and post them on social media using #campingselfie. You may want to take pictures during the adventure as well that can be used later for scrapbooking adventures together – what’s more fun than looking back at how much fun you had when it was over?
  • Camping Journal: Make a camping journal for the kids on the trip to keep fun notes in, draw things they see, and write about their favorite moments.

Camping Themed Scavenger Hunt Printable

Download our outdoor scavenger hunt riddles for kids. This Camping Treasure hunt includes 20 camping riddles to go on an adventure when camping outdoors. Easy to read scavenger hunt clues  will lead the kids all around the camp.

In our camping games kit, we included a “stop, please do not touch this clue” note to keep your clues safe if doing this treasure hunt in a public campsite.

How do you make a good Halloween party?

In order to create a good Halloween party, you need to create an atmosphere that screams fun! I do not speak of the deathly hallows type of scream, of course, but the squeals and giggles of happy children. If creating a themed event, give everyone a guideline of  Halloween Party Costumes. You can even have a few props and Halloween costumes for those that did not wear one.

If hosting a group of children over a period of time, make sure you have tasty treats and engaging activities like these Halloween Games. A good Halloween party will have full bellies and and party games to create large toothly-fanged grins. Create a spooky atmosphere with a Halloween playlist. For the younger crowd, Kidz Bop Halloween party music is a good start. In addition,

We even through in some Halloween activities to keep your party from turning into a ghostly bore. Let’s get ready to PAR-TAY!

Halloween Party Decorations

The easiest way to set the theme of a party is through party décor. Halloween Party Decorations and be simplistic, like these Farmhouse Halloween Decor, or can be a tittle spooky like scary Halloween decorations ideas with the most perfect Halloween Lighting Effects. Colored lightning like pinks, oranges, reds, greens and purples can change the entire ambiance of a space.

You spend a lot of time on the party food, so decorations should be easy. My favorite DIY Halloween party decoration is Stretchable Spider Webs. Just the outdoor spider webs alone create an immediate Halloween effect, are budget-friendly and really easy to clean up.

Cheap Halloween party decorations may mean running to a dollar store. These Dollar Tree Halloween Crafts are easy to make and best of all, low-cost.

Decorate with Halloween Letter Boards and change out your family photos’ to Halloween Portraits. Letter boards allow you to express fun messages. Changing out portraits for monsters, witches, and zombies makes it feel more like a haunted house.

Decorating the mantle is the first place to begin. Fireplaces are found in common spaces, so have a beautiful Halloween Mantle will create a perfect backdrop for photos or foreground for a party setting.

If you create party food crafts for kids, many times this will act as a pretty Halloween display. These Halloween Tablescapes create spook and fun party décor.

Halloween Party Themes

There is no reason to create a Halloween Party Theme; Halloween is a theme in and of itself.  However, if you want to create a Halloween themed party, there are many reasons to thick to a theme. This allows people to dress the same, have a similar focus on décor and party food, and of course easily help people get into character.

If you are throwing a 30th birthday, try this Halloween birthday party theme – Death to My Youth Adult Birthday Party Idea. Basically it’s hosting a funeral for your 20s with fun Halloween party décor. Cute for any time of the year, but most fitting for the day of the dead.

A Murder Mystery Party is always fitting for a Halloween themed party. We threw a fun Trailer Park Party, but consider hosting a murder mystery dinner theater which creates a fun adult party idea.

Mix up a potion with a Mad Scientist Themed Halloween Party. This creates many ideas for Halloween party foods and also supplies many activities for kids to do during the gathering. If you love to bake and enjoy mixing drinks, this just might be the perfect opportunity to try out new recipes. Send out invitations shaped like bubbling potions and have lab coats and goggles available for each guest.

Speaking of potions, how about wizards and muggles. A Harry Potter Party is perfect for Halloween. Decorate your home or backyard with Harry-themed objects, like the Sorting Hat, broomsticks, golden Snitches, magic wands and a cauldron.

This is one of the most fun Halloween party ideas. Host a Jack-o’-Lantern Carving Party. Everyone brings their own pumpkin and works on carving together. It’s a fun way to get your pumpkin decorating with the company of others while munching on some pumpkin seeds and tasty treats. Don’t forget these No Carve Pumpkin Ideas and be sure to judge the best jack-o-lantern at the end.

Let’s be truthful, we are all at the party for the food. Enjoy our 31+ Halloween Party Food Ideas  which include adorable food crafts and Halloween recipes for kids and adults alike. Also take a look at these Halloween food ideas for a party, what’s your favorite?

Charcuterie boards are really great for feeding a large group of people. I love how color and the placing of various foods can bring many different images to life. This Halloween Charcuterie Board (Foxes Love Lemons) has our favorite recipe, Mummy Jalapeno Poppers.

Mummy Hot Dogs are perfect for filling the kids. Add candy eyes and serve with or without cheese. They are perfect before you go trick or treating as they fill the belly rather well.

I swear the Halloween recipes somehow get spookier and spookier but somehow remain cute! If you find yourself walking in spider web, try this Spider Web Halloween Dip with Guacamole  (Palatable Pastime). Serve with a bag of chips and perhaps some oven or walking tacos for a perfect Halloween appetizer.

Before the candy hits the belly, make sure to serve the kids a healthy Halloween food. This Orange Jack-o-Lantern Fruit Cup is perfect for little hands. If carving the orange becomes too difficult, just draw the face on with a Sharpie.

When I was growing up, there was no fall festival without a Candy Apple. Take the candy apple to the next step, with something a little more poison. Create this Poisson Apple Recipe.  Serve with our poison apple dip.

When serving drinks, have these Halloween Drink Label Wraps. They turn an ordinary drink into something spook-tacular. These shocktails are perfect for mocktails.
