Oslo - Parties
Attending a birthday
party
It is expected that both children and adults dress smartly for birthday
parties, or if it a sports or outdoor event, more practical clothing
would apply. Dress code is often specified in the invitation, as
well as the date for an RSVP. Arrive with a card and a present (or
money enclosed with the card), promptly. If it is a child's party at home,
make sure you take the shoes off before you go in.
Birthday
parties
Traditionally, Norwegian families organize their children's birthday parties
at home, but this is changing. The trend of taking the party to another
location, such as restaurants and sports clubs, for instance, is increasing.
McDonald's and Burger King organize birthday parties, as does Peppe's Pizza
restaurant. You may also inquire with other restaurants that welcome
children (see Restaurants) if it is possible to have a birthday party
organized there. This could be combined with a visit to the cinema or
theatre. Swimming pools and bowling alleys would also cater for birthday
parties, as would many sports clubs (see Sports). If you would like a
company to organize a party for your children, you may contact one of the
following party organizers:
