THE TIPS: 5 Ways to Throw an Outdoor Winter Birthday Party 🎂 ❄️ 🥳 

Who says spring and summer babies get to have all the outdoor birthday fun? There’s no reason why you can’t host the best party ever when there’s snow on the ground. (The cold never bothered you anyway, right? 🌨 👑) Here are just a few of the ideas—click the button below for the whole story!

❄️ Get party guests moving. Plan fun, active games like Red Rover and full-body Rock, Paper, Scissors to help everyone warm up.

❄️ Plan ways to warm up. Plan the party in a park with a fire pit for rent (these are available in many municipalities, year-round). Have coffee, hot chocolate and cider ready to roll.

❄️ Skip the cake and get creative. Mittens and gloves make forks and knives difficult. Go for single-serving options like cupcakes, or try something new like maple sugar candy as a sweet treat.
