While your child's birthday may be limited to household guests only this year, there are still ways to let others know that it's their special day! Add fun yard signs to your lawn so people passing by can give the birthday boy or girl a happy birthday honk. 

4. Cooking Class

If the guest of honor is a genius in the kitchen, celebrate what makes them so great with a cooking class party. Choose anything from pasta to sushi making courses and bring friends and family along. This is an especially tasty idea, and no one’s left hungry, plus you can send guests home with customised plates at a party favor.

5. Scavenger Hunt

Throw a scavenger hunt party for the honoree. Feature something unique about them in each clue, with the destination being their actual birthday party. This is fun, active, and inexpensive to create.

6. Breakfast for Dinner Party

Is the birthday boy or girl an especially big fan of breakfast? Then throw a breakfast for dinner party. Ask all guests to come dressed in PJ’s and feature plenty of bacon, waffles, and pancakes.

• If it’s not a surprise, ask what the guest of honor wants for a party. Take into consideration whether they want a smaller or larger party, or if they want to go out or stay in.
• Come up with a special theme for the party based on what the honoree likes.
• Plan your guest list. Make sure you have all the most important people to the birthday person included.
• Send out your birthday invitations early. Plan to send invites out three to five weeks in advance. If you send out invitations too late, some guests might not be able to make it. Also, make sure to include all the important information on the invites. This includes the who, what, when, where, and why of the party. 
• Gather all the needed party supplies and decorations. The decor makes or breaks a party, so make sure to put some thought in your choices.
• Put the whole thing together. Get friends or family to help so that you can enjoy the party planning together.
• Have fun, it’s a party after all!
