Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday party. A birthday cake with lit candles
is not just for children. It is traditional to place a
total of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the cake. Numeral candles are popular when the number
of candles exceed 10. The candles are all lit for presentation. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles. Blowing all the candles out
in one breath customarily brings good luck for the birthday
person.
The song, "Happy
Birthday to You" was is relatively
new to birthday custom. The song was officially published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of any
birthday celebration. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various interpretations through out the years.
Sending
birthday cards started in Great Britain about
a hundred years ago. Originally cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when a person couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we often send birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting cards has now become a multi-million
dollar business. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming accepted. Forgetting a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the birthday card even if its
belated.
Birthday
parties have become social gatherings
where friends and family members would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include schoolmates at school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
