Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an essential
part of the birthday party. A cake with candles
is not just for youngsters. It is customary to place a
number of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the cake. Numeral candles are accepted 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 attempt customarily brings good luck for the birthday
person.

Birthday to You" was is relatively
new to birthday custom. The song was officially published

birthday festivity. Numerous singers have also recorded
various renderings over the years.
Sending
birthday cards started in Great Britain about
one hundred years ago. Cards were often sent off as an
"apology" when a person couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we sometimes mail birthday greeting cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has now become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming popular. Forgetting a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is nearly inexcusable! Send the card even if its
tardy.
Birthday
parties have become celebrations
where friends and family would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include classmates from school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
