Alternative Birthday Party Ideas

Growing up, my birthdays consisted of parents, grandparents, godparents, a cake, candles, and, since it was summer, endless games of kick the can, ghost in the graveyard, and flashlight tag. Nowadays, it seems kids have multiple parties with family, friends, and neighbors and the gifts and waste grow with each event. As important as it is to honor your child's emergence into the world, it is just as fun to plan for parties that have less waste and may even give back to the environment or community, thus helping create a cleaner future for birthdays to come.
