Here's To You — The Birthday Book Everyone Fills In
A birthday book for the one we're celebrating, filled in by everyone who loves them.
Most birthday cards get read once and recycled. Here's To You is passed round the party, so the finished book holds a dozen voices: the memories, the in-jokes, the wishes, and a few predictions sealed until next birthday.
It works for any age
The questions suit a 9th birthday and a 90th alike. The games work at a kids' party, a 40th in the pub, or Sunday lunch with Nan.
Meet the Party Crew
Five illustrated characters guide you through the book, and each one has a job. Wick the candle hosts. Bobble the balloon brings the silly questions. Crumb the cake slice looks after the kind words. Pip the gift box keeps the sealed surprises. Cone the party hat runs the games, and does not accept bribes. Mostly.
What's inside (36 pages)
- The birthday star: a snapshot of right now, the year month by month, the year in numbers, a playlist, and "If This Year Were a Film" (a poster to fill in and draw)
- The party: Birthday Bingo, the Birthday Quiz and scorecard, the Party Awards, a group photo page, and a gallery for guests to draw the birthday star
- Pass the book: eight guest pages in two designs
- The wishes: the Wish Jar, Ten Things We Love About You, and advice from people older and younger
- Sealed for next year: guest predictions, the year ahead, a letter to open on the next birthday, and a time capsule of this year's prices
- The Birthday Gazette: a front page that begins "Local Legend Turns..."
