birthdays are HUGE in my family... well, on my side... not so much on DH's - his birthday was on Friday and only 3 people called him. 
As a kid, I always had parties and since my birthday was in October, it was lumped with my mom's favorite holiday, Halloween. My kiddo is 6, so we have only had family parties... but I go ALL OUT on the theme... trying to be a bit more unique and on a topic he is currently excited about... Weatherman Theme (unexpected at his party was that we had a local news camera crew there filming, thanks to one of the meterolgists from a tv studio tour kiddo was invited to because of his obsession on weather!), kiddo airlines (he was going on his first airplane ride that year - he dressed up as a pilot for the party and we served sandwiches in to-go containers and the favors were peanuts and pretzels - my favorite party I've done - haha), Men's Ties (when kiddo wore a tie every day), chicka chicka boom boom/alphabet party, rubber ducky... oh man, do I love throwing a kid theme party!! haha
We homeschool, so kiddo is always meeting new kids at events... doesn't really have any close buds yet... this year we are joining a homeschool group and we'll see if there are kids he clicks with and then we might throw a secondary, just of kids party... have until March to see if that comes to light.
