here's an idea for a birthday party that will shake things up, put on a SOCK HOP for your child and their friends.
disco, 50's or pop - whatever tunes rock your house will set the theme for the dance party.
invite the guests, in lieu of gifts, to bring new pairs of socks for children living in poverty. ask guests to wear crazy socks (i know it's not the most modern idea, but you can make it your own) and dance the day away.
need more ideas? how about a cake shaped like a sock? toe rings for party favors, pedicures on site for the moms, use xmas stocking templates to make brightly colored socks for hanging decorations or a matching game where kids have to find their mate.
to find recipients, please check:
or your local shelter, temple or church
the lesson: it's not always all about them, even on their birthdays.
***added bonus: you try dancing for 2 hours and staying awake! a nap is in their near future.
