Happy October Birthdays
Birthday celebrations typically involve joyful festivities. This type of party provides a chance for everyone to gather and share happy times, while demonstrating a genuine gratitude for the life (and birth) of a particular individual.
Birthday festivities may become extra special with a little effort. Planning a memorable party does not require a large budget.
If you intend to hold a memorable birthday party in October to honor a special person in your life, and you hope to find an original theme for the festivities, rest assured you enjoy numerous options! A lot of exciting, fun events occur at this time of year.
In many parts of the United States, the colorful turning of the foliage from green to brilliant shades of yellow, orange and red occurs at this time. Hayrides, cornfield mazes, pumpkin patches and Halloween traditions can all offer useful party activities with an October flair.
Additionally, a few details about the month may inspire your planning efforts:
The name "October" according to Webster's Dictionary derives from Latin and refers to the tenth month in the Gregorian Calendar. So anything associated with the number ten could supply a useful-and specific numeric theme for an October birthday party. Especially if the birthday person expresses sensitivity about his or her age, ten can provide a happy distraction.
Perhaps you could serve ten types of cookies or cupcakes or other appetizers instead of (or along with) a single, traditional birthday cake?
Or offer a guest the chance to say ten things he or she likes about the birthday person...
Some celebritiesand famous politicians who celebrate a birthday at this time of year include Helen Reddy, Deepack Chopra, Al Sharpton, Randy Quaid, Kelly Ripa, Ben Vereen, Suzanne Somers and Benjamin Netanyahu.
Musicwritten or sung by someone sharing an October birthday might offer an appropriate background to an October Themed birthday bash, for instance. So might any tune devoted to October itself:
For example, recording artist Amy Winehouse in 2003 reportedly issued an album with a song named in honor of the month of October called "October Song." And James Taylor created a tune entitled "October Road." Many other selections with a specifically October theme exist as well.
And finally, most sources credit the tenth month with two birthstones:tourmaline and opal. Both of these gems possess the capacity to reflect multiple colors within a single stone. Presenting a loved one with an opal or tourmaline ring or a tie pin containing one of these minerals would certainly fit an October theme.
The ability to create a memorable birthday party using a decidedly October backdrop remains as infinite and varied as the wonderful synchronicity of the month itself. Best wishes for a wonderful celebration.
