Birthday Party on the Wii?

It really isn't reasonably priced to throw a birthday party anymore. The pinata is $30 and then you still have to fill it with between $5-$20 worth of candy. You need to buy a pin the tail on the donkey game, get prizes, find things for relays, etc. It adds up to a pretty costly ordeal sometimes. I've given up.
The Wii game Birthday Party Bash is a fun way to get those games in a way that you can play them again and again with a minimum of cost! Yes, it is still pricey, but you still have it to play, unlike the smashed pinata.
Besides, what kid doesn't like video games?


I think the donkey is just too funny, swinging his hiney around, lol.
This way the computer tells who won, and there is no cheating. Nice, huh?
OH, and no PINS, lol.


The pinata game is so much less violent and way less messy! Dad doesn't have to worry about getting hit by the bat from an over enthusiastic kid, either. Fun times!
The kids love playing these party games over and over again, and I think it is a great investment. Although I probably won't actually use it for a birthday party.
Here's a quick snapshot of how it works:
• The birthday boy/girl chooses the party theme, anything from pirates to princesses. They even get to create their own virtual character, as well as characters for all of their guests!
• Up to 12 party guests can join in on playing the Wii games.
• Finally, when it's time to serve the cake, "Happy Birthday" will play karaoke-style while a virtual cake appears on screen.
Thank you Mom Central for sponsoring this post.

I think I'm going to have to get that one. Who doesn't love a good party?

That looks like a cool idea. The only thing is, although virtual cake is much less messy and would be calorie free...the kid would probably be a little upset if there wasn't a REAL cake to eat!
