Is your birthday coming up soon? If it is, happy early birthday! I mean this is the perfect time to create wonderful memories with friends and family. Regardless of you planning for someone else or yourself, below is 10 awesome ways to make this celebration extraordinary.
1. Spa Day at Home
Who doesn't love spa days? I know I do. Why not turn a spa day into a spa day at home? For my wonderful women and girls, I'm sure this is something that will interest you. You can have the spa at your home and have rooms for different stations. For example, one room can be manicures and pedicures, while another room is for massages topped with essential oils. Whether this is all in one room or in separate rooms, feel free to add delicious snacks and lemon water. Bring some towels, sandals, and cute robes of course! Throw on some relaxed music with candles and just like that, you have the perfect spa day at home.
Here's Dr. Baker Street! She'll take on a spa day whenever she can. For her 25th birthday party, Dr. Baker Street's friends are planning her a DIY spa day at home. Little does our doctor know she's going to get the best birthday of her life. She's later surprised with spa goodies from a beautiful customised robe to the best massage of her life. You can gift her to someone who may need a spa day at home as the best birthday gift!
2. Cook-off with a Side of Chaos
Know someone who's a foodie? This is the perfect way to celebrate their birthday. Choose a theme, which could be a specific dish or a specific cuisine. Have guests bring their favored recipe to the party. Also, set up a judging panel or have everyone else be taste testers. Make sure to have categories that participants must succeed in, such as best presentation or more tasty. After, everyone can dig in!
Here's Grace & Bailey (her dog shown in the upper right)! She's planning her nephew's 10th birthday and knows how much of a sweet tooth he has. Grace decides to host a cook-off for her nephew's birthday, which turned out to be a huge success! Who knew competing over making food would leave the birthday boy ecstatic? You can gift her to someone who may want to throw a cook-off for their friends or family!
3. More Classy with Some Wine
Maybe what's listed above is too childish for you. Or maybe you want something more relaxed. Don't worry, this will surely amuse you! Choose one night (preferably near or on the person's birthday) and set up paints, canvases, and brushes for everyone. Surely, wine will be provided as well. Have a local artist help everyone as they paint. This easy, simple idea will have everyone engaged and enjoying the birthday. Feel free to add some tasty snacks too! Towards the end of the night, everyone can take home their artwork.
Here's Lydia! She's looking for something more relaxed this year for her birthday, as she normally goes above and beyond. Lydia chooses to do a wine birthday night, where she gathers all of her friends to spend some time with her while drinking wine. This turned out to be a favorite amongst her friends, who felt inspired to do the same on their birthday. You can gift her to someone who should try something different for their birthday!
4. Visioning Virtual Reality
But what if the spa and food is not how you want to celebrate your birthday. How about virtual reality? Go visit a VR center or rent one for the day. There's numerous options to choose from, but my favorite including a survivorship-themed VR that I played with my family. The options are endless, from artistic experiences to multiplayer games. Guests can all play together or take turns trying different versions of VR. Pair this engaging activity with snacks and drinks that correlate with the theme. Definitely take pictures and videos to relive this moment in the future!
Here's Harriet! She's a huge fan of augmented reality and wanted to take her friends to a virtual reality place. As expected, Harriet and her friends had such a blast that they spoke about this special day for hours after. Harriet truly felt immersed in this experience and topped it off with Deadpool-themed cupcakes and drinks. You can gift her to someone who should try out VR for their birthday!
5. Rerun of Halloween... I Guess
A similarity between happiness and birthdays is dressing up. Why not have a themed costume party? For instance, you can have a happy-themed birthday party. Invitations should match the theme, as well as decorations. Go ahead and add some decorative masks, elegant centerpieces, feather headbands, and a red carpet for guests to enter. Make sure the playlist matches the theme and have everyone wear their best "clothes" outfit. People can win prizes for most creative outfit and outstanding dance moves. Of course, a photo booth should be added as well!
Here's Kenton Kiara! She's a huge fan of Halloween, after her birthday of course! She was turning 20 this year and wanted to do something exciting. She decides to host a themed costume party that's focused on the 80s. As a result, guests got excited and tried to win all of the competitions at the party. It was truly a hit! You can gift her to someone who may be a fan of Halloween and their birthday!
6. Duh, Surprise Them
I don't know about you guys but I love a good surprise! Especially on my birthday? That's the best. To surprise a beloved, have a group of family members or friends practice a dance routine. It's key that everyone in the dance group knows when to do something and what to do, so everything flows seamlessly. Choose a public place (preferably one that the birthday person likes) and make sure the "flash mob" knows when to come. For the flash mob, this can be family or friends, or hired photographers. On the day, have the birthday person come in as normal to the location. Wait until it's time, break into a dance, and surprise the birthday person. The cherry on top is singing "Happy Birthday" and bringing their favorite cake with gifts. PSA make sure the birthday person actually likes surprises.
Here's Lilac Lady! She's a lover of surprises and has only been surprised twice in her life. For her 40th birthday, she was shocked when she found out her family learned a dance routine for her birthday. She was later surprised at her favorite location with delicious treats and a chocolate cake. Oh boy, was she joyous! You can gift her to someone who may want to plan a surprise for someone else!
7. A Heartfelt Touch
Maybe you don't like surprises but are more of a heartfelt person. How does a sky lantern evening sound? Order biodegradable sky lanterns and find a safe location to release them. Bring your family and friends together and personalise each sky lantern. This can include drawings, wishes, or anything they desire. When everyone's ready, light the lanterns and release them at the same time. This will definitely be beautiful to look at! Have some r&b or relaxed music in the background during this event.
Here's Michelle Melody! She's been in awe of lanterns ever since she saw "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" on Netflix. Her friends kept this in mind and created a lantern night in their backyard. Michelle was so pleased that she didn't know what else to say but hug her friends. You can gift her to someone who may want a sky lantern night for their birthday!
8. A Taste of Magic
I don't know about you guys but camping under the stars sounds absolutely magical. If this is at home, set up tents in your backyard. Have a checklist that covers things such as cooking items, sleeping bags, and tents. Plan to go on nature walks or anything outside-related. End the night with storytelling, a fireplace, acoustic music, and s'mores! You can also buy a telescope to stargaze with your loved ones.
Here's Money Penny! She knows her best friend, Kayla, has always dreamed of having a bonfire and sharing stories with everyone. Penny decides to throw Kayla the best birthday ever by having a bonfire-themed night, which won the hearts of many guests. Kayla was so thankful that she shed a tear. You can gift her to someone who may want a bonfire night for their birthday!
9. A Kicking Karaoke Party
Does the birthday person love music? Have a karaoke party at a local bar or rent the machine. Que up music that the birthday person loves. To set the scene, decorate the place with disco balls and fairy lights. To really spice up the party, add some wigs and costumes. And I mean a friendly competition doesn't sound too bad, does it? You can then decide who's the best singer and who's the funniest performer. Whatever you choose to do, don't forget to capture this!
Here's Peach Pamela! She's a Miley Cyrus fan and for her birthday, she chose to do a karaoke party! Who knew this was so fun? As a result, everyone has a blast and is hoping for another karaoke party soon! You can gift her to someone who should throw a karaoke party for their birthday!
10. Scavenger Hunt
Are you intrigued by a scavenger hunt? How about planning a scavenger hunt for the birthday person? Create clues that lead them to random, important locations around the city. Each clue can be a puzzle, a challenge, or even a riddle. For instance, if the birthday person loves candy, a clue can lead them to their favorite candy store. They then may have to ask the cashier for the next clue. As the birthday person gets through the riddles, they'll finally end up at a surprise gathering at a significant location. This will surely bring a smile to the birthday person's face!
Here's Pink Plaistow! Her favorite thing to do growing up was scavenger hunts with her sister, Penelope. For Penelope's 15th birthday, Plaistow threw her an awesome scavenger hunt. Penelope almost gave up but ended up at her favorite place, Nando's, for some mouth-watering dinner and cake. You can gift her to someone who may want a scavenger hunt party for their birthday!
