If you are looking for an alternative to traditional gifts from your kid’s party guests that will not cost them any money, and will also take up party time as an activity, ask your guests to prepare a birthday wish, poem, or special charade for the birthday kid.
When you request something “theatrical,” the kids will be excited to prepare something special for your birthday child and they will also enjoy the opportunity to “perform” at the party.
This is often best done with school-aged children who will enjoy this type of activity. If kids are shy, you can always ask for a birthday drawing or they could write out their birthday wish or poem as well.
It’s a creative alternative to traditional presents that won’t cost your guests a dime and will be great fun for your child to receive on her big day!
