There are only so many times you can keep doing virtual birthday parties. With COVID-related restrictions mostly having lifted in Florida, more people are now warming up to the idea of hosting in-person birthday celebrations again.
After we ran having virtual parties to the ground, it has become apparent that the experience of a traditional birthday bash is truly irreplaceable. You really can’t compare the cake-smearing and the piñata-hitting with anything else. However, social-distancing guidelines having been eased should not translate into us not taking any precautionary measures at all!
If you’re holding a birthday party for your little one, especially at a birthday venue that will have ten or more people, it’s important to improvise a few things here and there so that everyone can have fun and be safe at the same time too. Here are a few measures to take:
Restrict Who’s Invited
Possibly the most effective way you can protect your child and their friends is to not let them around people who aren’t vaccinated. Especially if your child has allergies, asthma, or a similar medical condition, you don’t want them contracting the virus that will only put added strain on their respiratory system.
Send out digital birthday invitations to only those people you know are vaccinated! You’re adding an extra layer of protection to your party by doing so.
Don’t Blow Out the Candles
This is some pretty minor improvising, but it can make a big difference. Research has found that blowing out the candles on a birthday cake results in 1400% more bacteria on the surface compared to when you don’t blow them out. If someone was sick during your party, they could expel coronavirus particles during the candle-blowing and make others around them sick as well.
But this just means the kids get to try other fun methods to extinguish the little flames on the candles! Using the air escaping from a balloon that was inflated using a pumper is an idea everyone will love.
Safety Items as Party Favors
On top of the usual candy, stickers, and other fun items, try packing some safety items as party favors to hand out to your guests. Items like a face mask and a small sanitizer container don’t have to be boring either; you can match them to the overall theme of the birthday and allow everyone to have fun in a responsible way.
