In the US, formed their traditions of celebrating children's birthday parties. Of course, something may differ from state to state and even from city to city, but there are, nevertheless, common features.

1. A child's birthday is only a children's holiday and you will not find a parallel feast at your parents.

2. As a rule, parties are not organized in the home territory, but, for example, in places such as parks, children's centers, golf clubs, sports facilities, zoos, aquariums, etc. Very often on the site of the institution there is information that they hold such parties. The largest zoo in New York offers this service:

It is convenient also by the fact that there is always appropriate entertainment and animation for younger guests. The program of the celebration will include not only food and entertainment, but also some kind of educational part.

3. At the party the child always has his peers - it is not accepted to call children older and younger, just because you are friends with families.

4. It is customary to invite all classmates or classmates in a circle. Thus, the age requirement is respected, and children maintain their daily communication in an informal setting.

5. In order not to wrestle with what to give, you can often use a ready-made list of gifts from the birthday boy. Such lists are both more abstract and specific, for example, on Amazon.

6. One of the main features: a birthday boy gives gifts to guests. Yes, in gratitude for participating in a party, the hero of the occasion is preparing all the guests the same gifts: goody bags. This set is the same for all the little things. It can be books, soap bubbles, decorations (if the party is maiden), etc. Children adore it!

7. An important attribute is the cake or cupcakes. Food that is convenient to eat on the go is a success: snacks, snacks, pizza, etc.

8. It is considered a good form to thank for the gifts and for participation in the holiday, having sent a greeting card to all participants.

Recently, our son celebrated his fifth birthday, but this year it was for the first time at school. From the first day of school we received special brochures on the theme “how to celebrate birthday with classmates at school”.

If you have such a desire, then you need to warn the teacher in a couple of days and bring everything you need on that day. Of course, we are not talking about a full party - the whole event lasts half an hour. The most convenient way to bring cupcakes or something pre-divided into portions.

We did the cupcakes ourselves, in my opinion, it turned out no worse than the purchased ones:

As you can see from the photo, the theme of our holiday was a cartoon - “Paw Patrol”. After the distribution of sweets, traditional songs are sung, and the birthday boy blows out the candles. After the delicacy and congratulations, we distributed goodies to all classmates and thanked them for participating in the party. In the bags I put different small things with the same theme, as well as treats in the form of cartoon characters.
