The celebration of a loved ones birthday became popular in ancient Europe. It was thought that evil spirits were attracted to people on their birthday. Family and friends gather around the birthday person to surround the birthday person with good wishes and well being. This circle of energy would create a field to keep the evil spirits at bay. In the beginning it was only king who was thought important enough to have a birthday celebration. Many think the honoring of the King is how the tradition of birthday crowns began. With high child mortality rates, a shift to celebrate each year of a child's life came as people began to see children as a blessing. Children became included in birthday celebrations. The first children's birthday parties occurred in Germany and were called Kinderfeste. Many birthday traditions in different parts of the world are similar: birthday candles which carry wishes up to God, birthday games which gauge how much more a child can do versus last year, and birthday pinches or taps which ensure good luck for the coming year. Birthday party supplies like paper plates, napkins, and cups are a perfect way to complete a Birthday Party Theme. Party decorations like inflatables, and beads ad to the magic of Birthday. Loot bags tucked in basket can be a centerpiece and double as party prizes. Party favors like hats, horns, noise-makers, masks and glow jewelry will create festive spirit of a Birthday Party Theme.
