For any mom all around the world, planning their child’s birthday is always unique, and they want to keep the memories with them for the rest of their lives. But is it possible to throw the party that won’t harm the environment? The answer is yes, and we are here to help you with that!
Every parent wants to make their kids’ celebration truly remarkable, so that the important moments are not only kept in the form of photographs on the pages of a baby memory book, but remain in the memories of the loved ones forever. However, it is very important nowadays to think about our environment while throwing the party of a lifetime.
Why Plan For an Eco-Friendly Party?
Dream of every child is to have the best birthday party, and they wait for their birthday as soon as their birthday gets over. The parents also make their aim to fulfill all the wishes of their children and fulfill them. But it also becomes important for the parents to understand that climate change is one of the biggest concerns in the world, and it is only getting worse with time. So, it becomes important for the parents to think about the environment and focus on their children’s desires. This can be done by trying to incorporate a green party.
Planning
While planning a house party for the birthday of the kids, there are mainly three things that need to be considered:
Invitations
A conscious effort can be made at the beginning by challenging yourself and your child’s imagination and by creating a virtual invitation. This will save paper and also allows you to make gorgeous invites. The invitations can be sent through e-mails or WhatsApp.
Decorations
Helium balloons and foil banners are among the trendiest party decorations, but they can harm the environment. For a green party, it’s important to consider eco-friendly alternatives. You can use plants, candles, and colorful fabrics for decorations, and several companies even offer party rentals for such occasions. If you enjoy sewing, hand-sewn decorations can be reused for years.
Get creative with colorful paper—paper lanterns make a lasting impression and can be the centerpiece of your décor. While party supplies are easily available in stores, making decorations with family adds a unique kind of fun.
Activities
Try to make the party games that will help wildlife. So, the time has come to avoid the usual party games such as musical chairs and pass the parcel. It is fun as well as enriching for the children to make seed balls, bird feeders, and planting seeds, play hide and seek or treasure hunt. Also, art and craft is something that all children love. Making paper boats as well as paper planes is a fun activity for the children as well as their parents.
Cleaning Up
One of the most tedious works after a party gets over is to clean up. But this is one of the most important things for an eco-friendly party. You can also involve children by having them pack items into a recycling bag, helping them understand the importance of recycling.
Saving The Planet
There is no doubt that a huge environmental crisis is going on, and we can all help the environment by planning an eco-friendly party. So, will you arrange an eco-friendly party? Don’t forget to share your experience with us.
