Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is Inspired Birthdays?

A Inspired Birthdays© is a Phoenix Arizona-based company that creates unique and memorable birthday parties designed to celebrate children ages 5-14 on their special day while instilling the values of community stewardship, social responsibility and sustainability. Through partnerships with leading nonprofit organizations, we offer four exclusive customized birthday packages focusing on five themes: the environment, arts and culture, health and wellness, animals and the community. Each party incorporates sustainable, eco-friendly practices that children and families can easily integrate into their daily lives.

QWhat makes an Inspired Birthday so special?

A Inspired Birthdays is the only company in the nation that leverages the birthday party experience to expose children to their community and the wider world through critical social, economic and environmental themes. Every element of the party, from the decorations, food and entertainment to the games, crafts and goodie bags, explores the chosen theme in ways that are informative, inspiring and fun. Children gain an invaluable sense of empowerment in shaping their futures and a lifelong appreciation of their powerful connections to friends, families and the global community.

Inspired Birthdays also provides parents with a uniquely stress-free experience, allowing them to relax and focus their full attention on the birthday child. Our trained staff and professional Birthday Stewards orchestrate every aspect of party planning and implementation, from the moment the guests arrive until the last gift bag has been distributed. They even handle the post-party clean-up in typically eco-friendly fashion, using primarily organic cleaning products.

Every party includes our trademark "inspired connections" moment honoring the birthday child and their meaningful connections to family, friends and communities.

QWhat are the five party themes?

A Every Inspired Birthdays celebration is built around one of five themes:

  • Wild Child parties explore the ways in which people and animals are inter-dependent, the roles they play in the balance of nature and how the care and appreciation of animals can deepen a child's character.
  • Planet Parties explore the connection between humans and the environment and how our personal choices impact our planet and its future.
  • Healthy Happy Hoopla celebrations introduce children to the many ways they can be active, improve their own health and wellness, and creatively enhance their self-esteem.
  • Colors of My World parties encourage children to explore all forms of creative expression while deepening their cultural appreciation and understanding of the world around them.
  • Unwrapping Your Community parties help children explore the role they play in the wider community by engaging their own passions or tapping into one of Inspired Birthdays' unique offerings.

QWhat's included in a typical party package?

We also offer an array of Inspired Extras, including à la carte services such as healthy catering, additional goodie bag options, videos of your party and much more.

QWhat add-ons can I order to supplement these party packages?

A In addition to our four basic party packages, Inspired Birthdays offers an array of a la carte "Inspired Extras." These include healthy catering, themed goodie bags and special gifts supporting the selected nonprofit organizations. Parents may choose to make direct donations to the nonprofit on behalf of their child and/or party guests, purchase memberships for each guest and/or include gift certificates in the goodie bags. Your Birthday Steward will explain the various options and work closely with you to select the one you feel is most appropriate for your family and child.

QHow do we help you plan the party from start to finish?

A Each Inspired Birthdays party is as unique as the child we are celebrating. Our trained team of Birthday Stewards is responsible for planning and orchestrating every aspect of the celebration, from making sure your child's interests are reflected in the party activities to cleaning up afterwards using eco-friendly products.

Simply visit the Inspired Birthdays online order form to pick a date, theme and package; select the nonprofit organization with which you'd like to work; tell us about your child and their interests; give us a list of guests and your work is done. You can sit back and relax, knowing that your child's special day is in good hands.

Soon after we receive your order, one of our Birthday Stewards will call you to discuss your child and review the various party options. You should feel free to contact your personal Birthday Steward whenever you have a question or new party planning idea - they're happy to help. As the important day nears, they will contact you again to ensure that all of the details for your child's special celebration are in place and ready to go.
