As a busy mom, youre likely to attend several birthday parties a year – and not just those for your children. For example, theres the “best-friend-of-your-child” birthday invite. The “bring-the-sibling” birthday invite. The “all-inclusive-classroom” party invite. The “Im-inviting-your-kid-only-to-be-polite” invite.

Thirteen-year-olds are on the cusp of young adulthood, but some are also still children at heart. For most, this birthday is a milestone, as it celebrates the year they become teenagers. In fact, some parents might dread this milestone as much as their children anticipate it. If you fall into this category, stifle your apprehension and show your child how much you are looking forward to the teen years. Throw your 13-year-old a party he will always remember.

You have the games and activities planned, the food prepared and the guests invited to your birthday party. Decorations are the only thing missing. Spruce up the buffet table or dining tables at your party by adorning them with a beautiful centerpiece. While it doesn’t take much time or effort to make a centerpiece yourself, the effect it will have on the look of your party is substantial.

Nearly every birthday party winds up at the table, where you display decorations, snacks, cake and bright tableware and where a festive birthday centerpiece sets the tone, color theme or character theme. Rather than spend a lot of money on an elaborate centerpiece, consider a relevant yet simple table centerpiece that incorporates the guest of honor’s interests.

Handmade birthday party decorations have great appeal, being more customized and special than their packaged counterparts. Rather than have matching characters, patterns or colors for everything, go for a more eclectic aesthetic by creating cute birthday decorations that incorporate recycled materials, craft items, the guest of honor’s hobbies, humorous themes and even party food. Everything from your birthday party’s lighting and invitations to the party favors can feature handmade elements.
