If you’re a parent of an elementary school-aged child, you’re likely familiar with the madness of birthday parties. With kids numbered 1, 2, and 3 in my household, I know we’ll be spending the next several months hopping between places like Chuck E. Cheese, Fun Factor, Gymnastics Spectrum, and bowling alleys every weekend.
To spare us all from this birthday party chaos, I propose the Universal Birthday Bash (UBB). This event will take place on the first Saturday of each month, from 4 PM to 6 PM. By this time, most kids’ sports activities are wrapped up, and it’s well past naptime for those still indulging in afternoon snoozes.
The best part? You’ll have clarity on the schedule, making it easy to arrange for a babysitter for any younger siblings. Plus, there’s no need for invitations. Just show up at 4 PM and check the birthday list for that month.
As for the venue, it will rotate each month: September at the YMCA, October at Pizza Garden, November at Chuck E. Cheese, and December at Tumble Jungle, among others.
To participate, you’ll contribute $300 to the UBB fund and receive a UBB card. Every time you attend a party, swipe your card, and your account will be charged accordingly. A portion of this fee, specifically $5, will be pooled into a universal gift card for the birthday child, ensuring no more duplicate gifts or ill-fitting clothes. Forget the last-minute scrambles to find a gift for a kid you barely know!
If your child has ever swum competitively, you’ll be familiar with how ribbons are distributed at meets. The UBB will have a similar system in place for thank-you cards. These little notes will be prepared and handed out before the party even wraps up.
However, goody bags are off-limits. That’s right—no more spending a fortune on trinkets that will likely be lost or broken before you even get home.
Enjoy your next two weekends free from birthday parties—let’s meet on the first Saturday of the following month at Chuck E. Cheese!
