Birthday help

[Sobeyondthehills]

In the next few weeks, I have four birthdays coming up, my mum, dad, best friend and son

For mum and dad we would go out for a meal, cards exchanged, fun had all round

Best Friend rock up to a pub and have a chat

DS birthday party and then birthday meal at somewhere of his choice.

I was thinking for parents, sending a deliveroo to them?

Friend a couple of bottles of wine and facetime them with music in the background

DS is the tough one, the place he wanted to go is local and doesn't deliver and apparently I dont cook it the same way, I need a way to make his birthday a great one, as he is still not sure why his birthday party has been cancelled (he will be 8) but he understands

Is there anything I might be missing? Any risk I haven't thought of?

Can you have a little FaceTime party with a few of his friends? Try and think up a few daft games/challenges for them all to do Eg some sort of a quiz.

Then get him to help you bake and decorate his own birthday cake and make a birthday banner with you.

You can do something "proper" when all this is over so maybe an iou for a show or activity that he really wants to do?

@Matildathehun77 We have delayed his party till whenever, we have paid the full amount, so we have that covered.

Good plan on the facetime, thank you I will see what I can do on that. Hadn't even thought of that, I have got the decorations and things for his birthday party I was going to use, and it looks like I may have to bake his cake, which given my track record is going to be highly amusing, but I will get him to help.

He gets it needs delaying, I just dont think he understands for how long.

How about setting up a treasure hunt for him to find his presents?
Let him be king for the day and have whatever he wants for breakfast, lunch etc - and how about DIY pizza for dinner?

Brilliant thank you so much @Blondie1984

I think we are not going to have lots of wrapped presents, I need to talk to my family but I think we are all thinking, just transferring money and he can than pick his own present or maybe vouchers,

But I do have a massive tub of chocolates, which I can hide around the house

We are going to use zoom for a group call for daughters friend to sing happy birthday to her. I like the treasure hunt idea.

Sorry @Chimchimcharoo I dont know what zoom is?
