Birthdays --- at this age, do u think it is okay to celebrate it with balloons?

Hi Saphrina, Yes, why not? We are celebrating a happy event and anything that makes it happier would be better. I have observed that balloons are always present in any occasion. Be it birthdays, Christmas, New Year, office blessings or inauguration or here, even interment have balloons. I see balloons too in weddings or wedding receptions. So, why not? Hmmm, may I ask what a pinyada is?

Hi Saphrina, That seems so familiar here. We call the game "Hitting the Pot". A pot of clay is stuffed with candies, chocolates, coins, small toys, etc. Then, each child is blindfolded, is turned around 3 times, before allowing him a few steps to the hanged pot. He carries with him a piece of wood that he uses to hit the pot. He has three chances to hit, if not, the next child has his turn. When the pot breaks, everyone gets to scramble for the scattered goodies. Always, the blindfolded child gets a smaller share, hahahaha.

Thats a very nice pic. Now i want to celebrate something. LOL. Okay, i think it is from mexican origan, not sure. You make a donkey, not to big, out of newspaper or anything that will form nicely. Leave a hole and stuff it with whatever you fancy. Sweets, choc's, whatever. Close the whole, very tight. Now you blindfold people and each one have to hit it as hard as they can, untill it breaks and give all the nice little goodies inside. We use it for the bbiigg parties, so i won't tell you, what we stuff that thing with. Enjoy. TATA.

Hi Allknowing, Mood is enhanced with happy decorations. They may come in flaglets or anything. It would be a gay and happy event with different gay colors in the surrounding. Balloons are surely the common things used in any happy event. They are often seen in birthday parties, especially children, but it should not prevent older ones to have them on their birthdays. Balloons are also used during parades or office inaugurations/blessings.

Long live baloons!!

Hi Gracie04, You are right. There is nothing wrong with adults celebrating birthdays with balloons. They even help in beautifying the place. They spice up the mood of the event.

Hi Happy2512, A venue is nice to see with balloons. Birthday celebrations are always happy events. We want to make everyone happy and we always think of ways to make it so. Children are especially happy with the sight of balloons, with toys, food and games of course. But it does not make it wrong to have balloons in an adult's birthday party.

Hi Vince06, Anything to make the birthday happy! Be it balloons or the biggest cake in town, . Balloons are the usual decorations for a child's birthday party. They also use balloons for fun activities or in their games. Bursting of balloons contest is surely one fun activity for them.

Hi TrebliwO, It is surely fun to see them in birthday celebrations. There is nothing wrong to have them in an adult's birthday party. They add up to the mood of the party. It is a lively feeling having to see them swaying and dancing in the air.

Hi Cripfemme, Sorry for not being so specific... it should have been "at this your age".. I mean now. Although I don't celebrate it with balloons because I usually don't have a party for my birthday, I like the idea of having them if ever I decide to have a party. It makes the atmosphere gay and fun. Everyone should enjoy having them at the venue.

Hi Hatley, We like to have fun and be happy on our birthday. Whatever it is that makes us happy, we do it. It is a happy event. It comes once a year and we should consider that day special. As you say, it is a good time to let go the child in us.

Hi Bellis, Yes, why not? It would make the place lovely and sets it in a happy mood. I can imagine the smile in your mother's face with lots of balloons in the place. And the sight of your mother enjoying and loving it surely makes us happy, too.

Hi Doormouse, Balloons make the party shine, lol. They are good to see especially during birthday celebrations. Children, most especially, love to play with them. And they are always happy to bring home one after the party. There is nothing wrong with having balloons in an adult birthday party.

Hi Letran, Well, I don't think there is wrong with having balloons. If it would make the celebration happier, so be it. I, too, would want to see the venue of my birthday decorated with balloons. It would surely add to the happy mood of the event. Generally, people of all ages like balloons during birthdays.

Hi Dreamnishu, Balloons surely add up to the gay and happy mood of the place and event. This is especially so if there are different colors. It makes us happy especially when these sway and seem to dance. It is as if they are celebrating the occasion too. Age does not matter then.

Hi Earth2jacq, Right. It is a happy event and celebrated only once a year. Anything that would make one happy on his birthday will surely help the mood. I think there is nothing wrong with adults having balloons on their birthdays. We had, in the past, celebrated an adult birthday party where there were even parlor games. Everyone was happy to participate and enjoyed the event.

Hi Bingchen, You have your own reasons to do that. We respect your own reasons the same you that you do with others. Sometimes in very formal occasions, having balloons may not be appropriate. Whatever makes one happy during his birthday, we will that to one's choice.

Hi Joseline0568, Children, usually, love to see balloons during their birthdays. They would want to bring one home after the party. Yes, they are used as gifts and small gifts are placed inside them, too. I see that in our place, too. I personally think there is nothing wrong having balloons in an adult's birthday party. I love to see the place with different colors of it.

Hi Rich_look, Birthdays come once a year and generally, people are happy to celebrate it. To make it memorable, a lot of things are done. Decorations such as balloons may be had. I am sure there are lots of food and even games for people to participate. Some invited guests bring along their children. I, too, have observed that children are happy to have balloons when they go home.
