The tradition of holding a party to celebrate the anniversary of birth began centuries ago in Europe when it was feared that evil spirits sought out people on their birthdays. To protect them from harm, friends and family would gather around to bring good thoughts and wishes. Giving gifts brought even more good cheer to ward off evil spirits, and candles were placed on cakes to transport the birthday wishes directly to God.

\n<\/span>Initially, only royalty was deemed important enough to have a birthday celebration, but the tradition soon spread with the introduction of the children’s party in Germany, the Kinderfeste.
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>For the trivia buffs amongst you; the lyrically astounding \u2018Happy Birthday to You\u2019 song was written in 1839 by sisters Mildred and Patty Smith Hill!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Birthday party fancy dress themes work really well let your imagination run wild…

\n<\/span>It’s good to ensure there are plenty of attractions to keep guests talking & mingling so you could also consider casino tables which can tie in nicely with a James Bond theme, for example, and create a space for guests to meet, mix and break the ice. Also check out our celebrity lookalikes who will work the floor & get people talking.

\n<\/span>For a rocking party, you could book a party band<\/a> to play songs fitting to that theme or just a general Rock, Pop, Soul, and Swing or even a hired Jazz band<\/a> to keep your guests dancing all evening long.
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Hiring a Celebrity lookalike<\/a> of your favourite celebrity would be a great touch. For a great surprise you could hire some comedy music acts who can act \u201cincognito\u201d for part of the evening before bursting into song when your guests least expect it!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
