Kids Whether hosting a party at home or at a local venue with safety precautions in place, choose an activity party-goers can enjoy alongside each other. Party venues like Unpluggits are getting creative to offer safe options onsite or to-go painting or ceramics kits for at-home party fun. Outdoor venues like Cadence Equestrian Center offer built-in distancing and exciting activities with equine friends. “Anything outdoors has been really pop- ular, and I anticipate people having small- er get-togethers throughout the winter months. Those smaller celebrations — even with just family — can still be really special.” Chelsey Flint, owner of Chelsey Flint Events
ENJOY THE OUTDOORS AND PONIES WITH PERSONALITY WITH A BIRTHDAY PARTY AT CADENCE EQUESTRIAN CENTER.
TRENDING • Birthday party parades capture all the festivity and allow your kids to invite a full guest list, all while keeping a safe distance as they drive by to honk and wave. As a thank you for coming, provide prepackaged treats for guests to grab as they drive through. • Matching masks make awesome party favors for this age group! Hand sanitizer with labels customized to the party theme are also popular. • Top themes include donuts, superheroes, mermaids and the wild West. For kids moving beyond themed parties, Trevillion advises choosing colors and a hobby they love to feature. • Host a camping or outdoor movie party for a few friends or just the family. MONEY-SAVER Balloons always make a party feel festive! Instead of expensive helium-filled bouquets, save by making a DIY balloon arch, or purchase one from a local party planner. SPLURGE-WORTHY Customized yard signs are all the rage, and a perfect backdrop for a birthday parade. Especially if you’re opting to not have a traditional birthday party this year, a creative yard display will make your birthday child feel celebrated and special. Locally- and family-owned See Signs Celebrate offers customizable options at $85- 100. (P.S. these are awesome for any age!)
