If there is one thing that I can count on with almost certainty as a parent, it is the need for birthday party ideas every year. As kids get older the types of birthday parties change. There is certainly no shortage of venues and services to help make the day special.
I have put together a list (in alphabetical order) of unique and fun birthday party ideas. Whether you want to host the party at your home or at a venue, there are lots of options.
Here are the ones I have come across so far, check back frequently as this list will be ever-changing. I will do my best to update it several times throughout the year. Feel free to share it too!
