    What was a first birthday party for a female like during Victorian times? Besides the obvious, why was it thrown?

    Question #95475. Asked by ohlavash. (May 08 08 5:27 PM)

    		Asides from celebrating one's birth, birthday parties afforded parents the opportunity to allow their children to practice and improve their social behaviors. These parties were rigid and adult-oriented (nothing like what we imagine today). Yes, there was a cake and candles, and even presents, but the rest of the event was a mini-lesson in etiquette.
