birthday party

Cake and candles

A birthday party is a social gathering to celebrate someone's birth anniversary, typically featuring cake, gifts, and decorations.

Children's birthday parties often include games, themed activities, and goodie bags for guests.

Adult versions range from intimate dinners to elaborate surprise parties: We're throwing a birthday party for my mom this weekend.
