Half Birthday Party Ideas

A half birthday celebration is a bit of a new thing… at least, I think. It is new to me!  Basically, half birthday are adding six months to your birthday and celebrating the halfway milestone.  Often they are recognized for young babies when they turn six months, but they are becoming more and more of a thing for young kids and even adults. My youngest kids (the twins) birthday is a few days away from Christmas, so think having a small June celebration, even if only a dinner a dessert, would be a fun way to celebrate them when the busy season doesn’t over shadow their birthday. 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.

Birthdays are fun, why not celebrate the half!?

Love this half cake idea from Beki Cooks Cake Blog. How cute is the back side?

Celebrate a half birthday in the classroom with these half birthday bag toppers and party favor free printables from Over the Big Moon.

Don’t forget the party hat. Lalalola has some cute baby designs for your six month old.

In the them 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.

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.
