It assists their collection grow rapidly. There is some surprise, however the birthday kid understands they will like every present from the start.

Animal style

On the invites, state that the presents will not be for the birthday kid. Rather, the visitors are to bring presents for the pets and felines at the regional animal shelter. Bring the animal style throughout the party with the food (pup chow treat), plates and napkins, and even video games. A journey to the zoo would be a good activity for this party.

Album page

Rather than standard presents, the birthday kid has a birthday album. It does not matter if this is their very first year with the album or if they have actually had one for a number of years. Each visitor produces their own memory page with decors, illustrations, photos, remarks, or whatever they desire. After the birthday kid opens them all up, put them in the album and pass it around. These memory pages will last longer and imply more to your kid than any toy.

2 unique options

You might provide your kid one of 2 choices a bigger unique occasion, such as a theme park, with an invite for one good friend to come along; or a smaller sized sleepover party with a handful of friends. You offer 2 alternatives you can deal with, and the last option depends on your kid.

Schedule exchange

State plainly on the invites that each visitor is to bring a book to exchange. If the birthday kid desires a style for the book (animals, trains, dinosaurs, etc), point out that in the invite too. 

Present exchange

This would resemble the book exchange. You might set a low-cost limitation and motivate the visitors to be imaginative with their cash. Another choice is to leave it open so each kid has a bigger present. The birthday kid gets the party in their name, however the presents are shared by everybody.
