These are all from 1991, which means so many reading this weren't even born yet so you may not have even KNOWN McDonald's did birthdays. Hell, I bet this guy wished he didn't remember
Each party kid was given a party hat and if I remember correctly we also had Happy Meals. As a side note, notice the hair cuts?! We were not fashionable people in the early 90s
This is just for the clothes. They were awful
Another party angle. I'd like to. Point out the sign making the non-smoking section
And the outside Play Place, which is what we're all really looking forward to as kids
More bad hair and clothes
And finally my graceful self.
FP Edit: You guys popped my most viral cherry! Send pictures of your favorite beers!

My 4th or 5th birthday was at Showbiz Pizza. What a relic. The drummer dude creeped me out, and cheerleader duck chick was weird too.

Growing up in east germany you were the king of the neighborhood kids when could celebrated at Mc D's. Good old memories :)
Spidey209
Girl you be trippin' . Those clothes were the bomb. Bright and colorful, one lil' dude even has a TMNT shirt! And the hair was awesome.

I'm a 200's kid, went to a few maccas parties in Australia

I remember that ... but I'm a Living Fossil (born 1974 and Belgian).

Born in 1979 myself, so I feel ya. Console yourself with the fact that you grew up surrounded by great beer.
AnExcellentRectangle
I miss the days when a half wall could protect us from second hand smoke.
DagraDai
aus maccas still do birthdays
someVioletnight
that guy in the first picture looks like Wayne from the Wonder Years
DrClaww
He actually looks a hell of a lot like the nerdy fellow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you know the one...
ShanePavlis
We all looked like that even the girls. I miss those parties.
BahamutBBob
No, he looks like Lorraine's brother, from when Marty goes back to 1955!
AhhhhComeOn
Did he sing out of tune?

Why the hell arent Wonder Years reruns on anymore?

Because Netflix hates us
FillMyPrescriptions
He looks like a young Nick Swardson

Holy shit! You're right! I was trying to figure out why he looked familiar to me

Scrote.

I thought it was Ed Norton
ElectricMoccasin
Yeah. I was certain it was a young Edward Norton as well.

In France (and maybe other places), you can still have your kid's birthday party at McDonald's. Look exactly the same.
RaymondChoppard
Except the haircuts, of course.

I had my birthday party here when I was 4 or five I loved it they had a Nintendo 64
WarrenCheeseBurger
I went to 2 McDonald's birthday parties and one Burger King birthday party when I was a kid. Also I used to dress like that.
sweetlittlebee
My brother had a Burger King party. He was given a Burger King doll(part of the pkg)that he more or less distroyed within a couple months.
trigonman3
I (old fart) remember a mid-1970s McD birthday party. I was mom-shamed into apologizing to some soft kid. Still not sorry, other kid's mom.
DuchessGummiBunns
Lol what did you do
OldMateClown
I think most Australian ones still do them.
CouldBeADickPic9000
They also used to have pizza on the menu.
writetehcodez
They did, but it wasn't rolled out nationally. They also used to do Lobster Rolls in New England stores. Imagine that.
corig123
Only time I ever saw that was on a fieldtrip to Canada in 7th grade (~'96 or so)
thequeenishome
That crust was so damn crispy! #neverforget
LovelyLadyLumps
Burger King too
neddiebars
Ice cream cake!
MADchemEE
I remember the PURE SUGAR decorations of their cake. Grimace was saved, & survived a week or two in the freezer before temptation gave way.
shimmernshine
McDonalds used to have dedicated party rooms before they installed playplaces.
Seedster5
Now it's just a bunch of ghetto middle aged people demanding15 dollars an hour to flip burgers.

#4 I like the TMNT shirt
SankariSuomi
If you've ever hosted a child's birthday party at your home, you'll understand why McDonald's canned this policy. :P

69¢ cheeseburgers and 59¢ hamburgers
leftyshuckles
remember 29¢ hamburger Wednesdays and 39¢ cheeseburger Sundays?
FK86
Tai Mai Shu does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYkv7wVUrCg
leftyshuckles
well then
ISayShenanigans
That's nothing! I remember 25¢ cheeseburgers, 10¢ hamburgers, and a super size cup of fries for $1.99! Weekends were always busy at McD's!
Skande
Did they charge 15c for cheese or were these different years?
ISayShenanigans
Different years. This was in the 90's!
AzothTheGuildRat
They brought back those prices in 2001 or so at one of my local McDonalsa. My buddy and I would leave school to go on lunch and get 10 each.
eathotdog
Define burger.
storebrandproductmascot
That 69 cents is $1.28 in 2018 money. Regular price for a cheeseburger at McDonald's now is $1. They're cheaper now.
SephiRothIRA
Maybe the packaging? They used to have more elaborate Happy Meals, polystyrene burger clamshell cases, now everything comes in paper.
storebrandproductmascot
The regular cheeseburgers always came in paper. It was the Big Macs, Quarter Pounders, etc. that used styrofoam.
espilono
Dang. Props for doing your research!

My neighbors had a b-day party for their kid at McDonald’s when I was 4 or 5. Creepy Ronald ruined the day for me.
swiftfelix
He usually does

Hello fellow '80 child!

Hello!
DoglessProps
Yea, this post had brought back some very, very old memories. The kind I haven't accessed for 25 years. Nothing bad though, so there's that!
swiftfelix
Yeah same! Glad it only made me remember about my McDonald’s birthday party
Hoffafiles
I went to one about that time too, and we had to go into the freezer due to a tornado warning, made for a memorable time
swiftfelix
Yeah I bet!
LottetheLlama
I'm 26 and I remember birthday parties at Maccas! Then again, I am from NZ and we're only now catching up to the rest of the world....

Nuh uh! Boys were the real gross ones!

Boys ARE gross and always will be (we're mostly dumb too) but you know deep down you had coodies in these pics... ADMIT IT!!
BrickShakes
They still do ? some of them at least.
aCartographer
Haven't been inside a McDonald's in 5-10 years, but back then they did and a had special table for it with a special chair in one end
nouseforanameforthisshit
In Germany they do.
alex5775
I don't know if mine does for sure, but we have a spot on our order taking screens for setting one up
DenverCoderIX
In Spain most still they do. Special happy meals, cake, amenities and shit.
MrStealYourGiF
Two out of the three nearest here do I think. Third one is more highway service focused I think.
teknrd
The ones close to me don't anymore but that just might be due to a lack of Play Places. I can only think of 2 nearby
BrickShakes
The one closet to me has an entire area designed specifically for parties, but yea it has something to do with location and size.
Anonymous0726
Yeah, I know of one, even went to a party probably at least 7 years ago now. Only know of one, though, out of maybe 20 I've visited.
CitizenPrime
They still do, but they used to too!
NZSheeps
They still do nationwide here https://www.mcdonaldsparties.co.nz/birthdayparty_nz/index.jsp
DenitoOoO
In Argentina they still do. And I remember I had one like ten years ago, in 1987
Lulabel73
In my country they do (Australia)
WhatAnAbsoluteCasual
THE ICECREAM CAKES!!
KarlderMarder
Germany, they also still do
turtleen
My town had a train caboose outside the McDonald's, all the best birthday parties happened there. Not sure what it had to do with McD though
turtleen
(I guess they had to make up for no play place and only one in town somehow, why not a train, sure)
Babboos
Yes! I remember the caboose! We had them too before there were PlayPlaces.
turtleen
I always wondered if that was actually a thing! So I guess we just had one way longer than we should have, it lasted until like 2010.....
