A birthday is a celebration of a person's birthday.

Birthday parties are now a feature of many cultures.

Birthdays in western cultures include a number of common rituals. Guests may be asked to bring a gift for the honoree. Party spaces are often decorated with colorful decorations such as balloons and streamers. The birthday cake is usually served with lighted candles that must be blown out after the “BIRTHDAY WISH" has been made. the winner will be given the first piece of cake. When the birthday cake is brought to the table, the guests sing " HAPPY BIRTHDAY" or some other birthday song.
Children's parties often include a time for "present opening" where the birthday party opens each present. At children's parties, it is customary for the host to give farewell gifts to participants in the form of "goody bags". Children and even adults sometimes wear colorful cone-shaped hats.

birthday parties are often larger and more extravagant if they celebrate a culturally recognized milestone, such as the transition from childhood to adulthood. examples of traditional coming-of-age parties include the north american sweet sixteen party and the latin american quinceañera
