The post Mom Accidentally Invites All Her Phone Contacts to Her Daughter’s Birthday Party appeared first on parentztalk.com.
]]>In a recent viral clip posted on TikTok, San Jose, California native Emily King described a funny mishap that happened to her while using Evite. King was organizing a birthday party for her one-year-old daughter and wanted to send out an online invite to her family and friends. But during the selection process, she clicked “Import Contacts” option that ended up sending the same invite to 487 of her contacts.
To make things worse, all of the contacts were addressed by the name under which they were stored in the phone. The list included” Derek Eye Roll” and “Jess Hit Her Car In Parking Lot.”

King’s video ended up receiving more than 12 million views, and other TikTok users found it quite funny. Some even suggested that Evite should sponsor the party, something that actually ended up happening.
In a follow-up clip, King explained that she managed to clean up the mess and explain to people that it was a mistake, with most of them being “good sport” about it. Evite stepped in by providing King with a DoorDash coupon she can use for food and drinks at the party.

]]>Woodland Elves
Turn your home into a cute grotto with some vine decorations and fairy lights. You could have some fake trees made of cardboard and have activities such as following the fairy trail through the forest to save the fairies. Fairy cakes and toadstool cookies are ideal on-theme snacks.
Underwater
Drape blue cellophane from the ceiling and get some blue lights. You could have a treasure chest which the kids have to figure out puzzles to open and share the treasure. Encourage the kids to wear fish and mermaid outfits, and for food, you could turn salad leaves into seaweed and have tuna sandwiches.
Outer Space
Get creative with tin foil and try making stars and planets to decorate your home. Turn one of the rooms into Mars or the Moon, and have the kids follow clues from extraterrestrial life to return their spaceship home. Astronaut and alien outfits get extra points.

]]>Cake Decorators
Make enough cupcakes for each child coming to the party, plus a few spares. Set up a decorating station, with plenty of frosting, food dye, and cake gems. Bribe one or two brave adults to man the station, and then let each party guest decorate their own cupcake. This is a fun activity, and one which feels fair as each child gets a sweet treat.
Nature Explorers
Create a list of treasures that your kid and their guests need to find in a garden. Items could include a pinecone, an acorn, a particular type of flower, or a snail’s shell. Set the explorers off, armed with magnifying glasses, a checklist, and plenty of team spirit. Whichever team brings the items back to you first wins.
Mini Picassos
You can buy mini canvasses for not too much from many budget art stores, or online. Buy enough canvasses to supply your guests, plus water-soluble paints, and brushes. You could give the kids a quick art demonstration or ask an arty friend to show them a few techniques. Some children might want a theme, to help guide their creativity, so you could print out pictures of summery scenes, delicious fruit bowls, or cute puppies and kittens. Others will want to be as creative as they possibly can be. You could ask one of the adults (or perhaps the birthday boy or girl) to judge the three best artworks and hand out prizes, or you can simply praise the artistic efforts of everyone involved.

]]>Personalized Goodie Bags
Create custom goodie bags for each guest with their name or initials. Fill them with small treats, stickers, and age-appropriate toys. Personalized bags make kids feel special and add a thoughtful touch to the party.
DIY Craft Stations
Transform the party into a creative wonderland by setting up DIY craft stations. Let kids decorate their own photo frames, masks, or bookmarks. It not only provides entertainment but also gives them a keepsake to take home.
(@mypartito)Bubble Bonanza
What child doesn’t love bubbles? Hand out mini bubble wands or bubble blowers in a variety of shapes and colors. They are sure to bring smiles and laughter to the post-party playtime.
Superhero Capes
For superhero-themed parties, create mini capes for each guest using inexpensive materials like felt or fabric. Let them unleash their inner superheroes with this cool and empowering party favour.
Glow-in-the-Dark Fun
For evening or sleepover parties, hand out glow-in-the-dark accessories like bracelets, necklaces, or sticks. Kids will love the magical glow and keep these treasures as reminders of the fantastic party.

]]>In now a viral social media post, Alexa shared how she decided to make Willa’s birthday special by throwing her a party at a local Hat Creek restaurant. She invited “her entire class, last year’s class, and friends we had made along the way.” And despite only 30% of those invited saying they’ll come, she still hoped that her little girl would have a great time.
Unfortunately, the starting time of the party came and went, and no one showed up. Worried that Willa might get heartbroken, Alexa decided to get creative. She sent out a post to one Facebook group, inviting local families to drop by, and crossed her fingers.
In just a matter of minutes, the restaurant was packed. Parents and their kids rushed to join Willa’s birthday party and make sure it was a special day that she would remember for a long time.
Alexa was moved by the response, calling it “life-changing.”
“I just want to say thank you to all of the people who came today to be with us,” Alexa wrote in the social media post. “You not only showed up for my little girl but for me as well. You picked me up and encouraged me forward when I felt like I had failed as a mom. Thank you.”
This story shows that solidarity among parents is an amazing thing, and there will always be people who are willing to support fellow parents in tough times.

]]>Never quite sure what’s the best way to celebrate your child’s birthday? Looking for something a little creative that’s doesn’t require spending tons of money? Well, there are many simple and fun ways that you can create a birthday party for your child that he/she won’t ever forget from the comfort of your own home.
For starters, there’s nothing more than kids love than going out and getting a little messy every once in a while. Try renting a blow-up water slide and filling up water balloons so your kids can go a little crazy while having a safe, fun time. On a nice, hot summer day, kids will enjoy the waterpark theme as the parents enjoy watching them while sipping cold lemonades under their umbrellas. This is a simple way to keep the kids entertained all day.
Many tween girls love to create things. Channel that interest into a craft-themed party. Buy some unfinished items such as wooden trinket boxes, unpainted pottery, T-shirts, picture frames or bags. Present the guests with whatever is needed to decorate their nice blank slate, whether it be paints, sparkles, tye dye, glitter, markers or any other decorative item, and let them go to town. The items needed to make this party a go to won’t cost a ton, and the kids will leave the party with something special that they made in their own individual style.
There probably isn’t an age group that’s better suited for scavenger hunts than tweens, and if you’re going to throw or host a hunt, you’ll need a few good scavenger ideas. The key is to put some thought into the items you will be hiding and, of course, create the sneaky clues that are also a large part of the draw. Kids will work against the clock to see who can find the buried treasure, such as gift certificates, candy, and more. Kids love these hunts because they create a bit of competition, but can also be silly and exciting for them to see who can figure out the clues.
Those are just a few of the many wonderful party ideas for a birthday party that can be thrown at home. A few others are indoor camping parties, cooking parties, spa parties, and many more. And don’t forget that sometimes less is definitely more. Kids don’t need a fancy party to have a good time. What they want is to spend time with you and their friends doing something fun.
