My youngest son, who has Special Needs, gets really hung up about birthdays. He was meant to be born on my birthday, but instead decided to come 5 weeks earlier. So when it came to planning my birthday he had really not got over his. He thought that every birthday should be his birthday. When discussing what I would like for my birthday it was him that decided it would be a DINOSAUR PARTY. I figured that whatever would make him happy, would make me happy. Therefore, my wonderful husband organised one for me. I actually think it helped him cope with the whole birthday thing too (there were a lot going on at preschool in the run up to mine too – he was very confused).
There were dinosaur balloons.
And dinosaur hats!
And he made me chocolate dinosaur cupcakes
To make it healthy he made a Fruit Dinosaur (excuse the banana – I recommend using a bit of lemon
He made me a dinosaur cake (I ALWAYS ask for chocolate cake every year!)
These sticks were bought, but I feel with some cocktail sticks and card you could make your own.
He actually bought them as a part of a set with cups, plates, etc – and a centre piece – who ate the cakes lol
And we had fun with dinosaur tattoos!

What a brilliant idea! I’m going to ask for a themed birthday party next year as that looks like great fun.
You missed a trick there… could have had a HUGE stack of Brontosaurus ribs as per Fred Flintstone… Mind you, chocky cakes good too 🙂
Fantastic dino party, I like this theme – hope Cian wants it next year 😉 x
That’s so sweet! That you had a dinosaur party because that’s what your son wanted, and that your husband organized it.
