Childrens Birthday Party's

Dear Nadine, when I first started having birthday parties for my children in Greece. I was told that Greek children just wanted to be given food and left to play independently. Being English and used to the themed, well organised children's parties you have described, I just went ahead and prepared the party games I would have, had I been in England. The Greek children loved the parties. So I would say just go ahead and plan your party as you would have done in Australia.

I would say you may need to explain you games clearly and in Greek.
Also I never recieved an RSPV so I always just asked the parents if the children were coming. I also quickly learnt to give the invitations just a few days before the party as this seemed to be more accepted.

You can usually buy chocolate coins at lidl as soon as they have their Easter chocolate in stock.

Hope your son has a fabulous birthday!

Hi Georgina,

You are very kind! I was beginning to think I had asked a really silly question. My husband is Greek however we had our child in Australia, and he knows nothing about raising a child in Greece! so we collectively where drawing blanks. We don't know the other parents in child care, so we are simply going to give the invitations to the teacher, cross our fingers and hope for the best!

Thank you for clearing a few unknowns for me.

Nadine
