Rich, Fall Invitations and Ideas For Your September Birthday

September is the perfect month for your Virgo (or Libra) birthday. The hot, sweltering days of summer are over and the chilly winter months are still a way off. September colors can be rich jewel tones and muted earthy tones. And your fall menu can be a mix of the best of summer and fall.

Invitations

For your September birthday invitation, pick rich jewel tones. September's birthstone is the sapphire so start there and add on. If blue is not your color, think Garnet, Emerald or Ruby for an opulent accent. To add depth, pick a contrasting earth tone like a brown, khaki or taupe. If you're seeing a perfect pattern for your September birthday invitation, pick a leaf pattern or other images found in nature.

September is also back to school - a hectic time for most families. Make sure you get your birthday invitations in the mail in plenty of time to get on everyone's chaotic schedule. Since you'll most likely opt for a weekend day, it shouldn't be too hard for most friends and family to fit in a fun birthday activity.

Activities

Fall weather can be unpredictable - cold temperatures, rain, maybe even snow - can dampen your outdoor plans. Before you send birthday invitations for an outdoor party, consider your indoor options. If you are planning on hosting a September birthday outside, just make sure you have some great indoor plans in case the weather is not on your side. A board game tournament can be fen for all ages. Pick some of the birthday kid's favorite games and get started. Interactive video games can also be fun. Get everyone moving with bowling, tennis, baseball or even guitar and drums.

Some other fun indoor options can include some fun and games that happen at another location. Scout out a roller skating rink, indoor soccer field or an actual bowling alley for a unique and fun birthday experience. Most places like this can provide you with a space for your party, too.

September menu

September is harvest time; a perfect time to plan a great menu. Think root vegetables like potatoes, yams and squash for a fresh seasonal touch. While this might be perfect for the adult palate, kids might not feel the same way. Please your birthday kids? palate with apples, grilled cheese and even a make-your-own pizza. The chillier weather is perfect for warmer fare. But keep in mind that kids will want to be a part of the action more than thy might want to eat. Keep your foods 'grab-and-go? friendly.

You'll need to have some fun beverages, too. Kids might enjoy a seasonal apple-cranberry punch with their meal. And maybe choose a hot chocolate bar (sugar free?) to go with their cake.

Keep your fall guests entertained with fun indoor games and a great menu that will be long remembered. After a summer full of hot parties and hot dogs, you'll stand out with activities that will amaze and entertain and great foods that are both seasonal and kid-friendly.
