Birthdays are great! Whether it is an old friend, or a member of the family, it is always thoughtful to throw a bit of a birthday bash to celebrate! What sort of things do you buy when holding a birthday party? Balloons and birthday cake complete with candles have always been firm favourites, but what about buying something different and more exciting. Here are a few ideas to help you throw a fantastic birthday party using those classic favourites with a twist.
Edible photographs
Yes that is right! Thanks to eatyourphotos.co.uk you can create a wonderful birthday cake with a real surprise. Simply send them your chosen photograph and they will design an edible masterpiece which you then place onto your cake. You can choose to either have the actual photo created into a delicious delight, or you can add some humor and request to have a caricature made, the choice is yours. This is a wonderful way to jazz up a birthday cake and really show the lucky birthday boy, or girl, that you have made an extra effort to make their day special.
Party Cannons
If you have ever thrown a surprise birthday party no doubt you would have used classic party poppers. They might be mini, but they sure pack a punch once the string has been pulled. However, if you want to go one step further how about opting for the party popper’s bigger and louder alternative – the party cannon. The party cannon is just a large version of the classic party popper and has lots of glitter, confetti, streamers, and other goodies concealed inside. They can be used both indoors and outdoors, but obviously must be used with caution, don’t point it at someone’s face then let it off – a trip down A and E will not make for a good birthday party! Sites such as partybox.co.uk provide a huge variety of fantastic party treats.
These are no ordinary candles
No birthday party is complete without a yummy cake and if you have a cake, you will definitely need candles. The partycandleshop.com is ready to provide you with candles for all occasions – with a twist. You can buy musical cake candles which rotate, play music and some even change colour, dazzling cake candles which are almost like sparklers, or colour flame candles which provide a rainbow of coloured flames. All of these would make a special change from the traditional candles seen on a birthday cake.
Alternative fun foods
Why not add something to the party which is sure to surprise everybody and create a great conversation piece for years to come. Why not hire out a giant chocolate fondue set, a pop corn stand, or even a candy floss machine – the guests are sure to enjoy the delicious treat and it will definitely make for an unforgettable party. There are many companies around where you can hire from, the Premier Fondue Company can provide an assortment of fountains and other tempting food creations. Why not hire a ‘grown-up’ treat such as their Bailey’s or beverage fountain, a brilliant boozy idea.
Personalised decorations
Balloons and banners are a great way to inject some colour and they really create a party atmosphere. Go that extra mile to make the decorations special by personalizing them. There are many sites available where you can add your own personal message, such as net balloons, which allow you to do exactly that. This site also provides an option called bear in a balloon which could also double up as a cute gift idea.
These are just a few ideas to make any party one to remember, the most important thing is to really pull out all the stops and make the birthday boy, or girl the center of attention and throw them an awesome birthday bash.
