Everyday Shakespeare

Birthdays, and Breechings, and Bed Parties—Oh, My!

07 Jul 2025

Description

We've gone a little nuts when it comes to celebrating our kids' milestones, like their birthdays and graduations. We've even started inventing new ones (hello, Bed Parties??), which means we're buying even more party swag. In this episode, we explore how families in Shakespeare's day celebrated their kids' big rites of passage. Did they make themselves crazy planning the best christening party ever? How did they mark little William's gold medal in pee-wee fencing? What did life look like before bouncy castles and Gender Reveal cakes?
