Let’s admit it; your birthday is one of the most special days of the year. You invite your friends for a party, drink alcohol, have a great time, and every year, you try to make it memorable. While you might dread the idea of turning a year older, your birthday is a rare opportunity to make the day all about having fun.
It’s easy for kids to choose a theme for their birthday parties. Children often celebrate their birthdays with what they find interesting, like unicorns and rainbows. But as we grow old, we tend to aim for something much more sensible, something that would scream, “I am an adult, and I would like to have a shot of tequila for my birthday.”
There’s nothing wrong with going hard for your birthday. But you’re probably running out of creative ideas already. That said, here are some birthday bash recommendations to celebrate another year of your life.
Spa Day
Give yourself a break and gather all your ladies. Indulge yourselves in at-home massage, mani-pedis, and DIY facials as you watch your favorite romantic-comedy film. Make sure to have some snacks on the table. But if you want to go extra, host your birthday party at an actual spa. It will make the experience more memorable. Plus, you don’t have to worry about setting and cleaning up the decorations.
Game Night
Who says games are for kids only? Invite all your friends for a birthday party they will never forget. Here’s the catch, ask them to wear their cutest pajamas or outfits and prepare some fun board games like snakes and ladders or monopoly. To make the party more exciting, make the losers drink a shot of vodka.
Wine and Cheese Night
Adults love wine. Look for the best pairs of cheese and wine to offer to your guests. If you want the activity to be more fun, host the party at the best restaurant that offers the best wine in town. Instead of birthday gifts, ask your friends to bring their most loved wine for the after-party at your house.
But that’s not all. Make your birthday bash more delightful by hosting your wine and cheese party on a yacht right in the ocean. Just make sure to have a contact of boat care services in case things go south.
Dinner Party
Adults, especially the busy ones, love diner parties. It’s the perfect way to celebrate your birthday if your friends have busy schedules and inviting them for extreme activities is just impossible at the moment. Show off your cooking skills by preparing your favorite homemade meals, or you can ask them to bring food as well. Whatever you prefer, don’t forget the cake!
Host a Great Gatsby Party
Even the busiest adults love to dress up. Celebrate your birthday party by hosting a Great Gatsby-themed party. Ask everyone to come in their most vintage suits and flapper dresses, and don’t forget to prepare twenties music.
Have a Disco Party
Make your birthday party a day to remember by hosting a disco party at a roller rink. It’s okay if you haven’t even skated before. That makes the experience more fun and exciting. Gather all your friends and wear something that would match the venue, like retro outfits with knee-high socks. Roll away with your friends to the funky and fast-beat tunes.
Organize an Active Day
Choose a fun activity that will encourage you and your friends to move around. Whether it’s swimming, group dancing, or bowling, a recreational activity will bring you closer to the people you love. Plus, it’s a great way to stay physically active. Consider your friend’s interests too, and if you haven’t done one of their hobbies, maybe it’s time to challenge yourself on your special day.
Travel
Experiences will always be one of the best gifts you can ever give to yourself. On your birthday, plan for the most exotic and thrilling adventure in Maldives or Bali. You can choose to go by yourself for some peace and tranquility, but going to these places is so much better with friends and family.
Have a Barbecue Party
Do you want a more laid-back yet memorable birthday party? Then go free and easy with the grill in the beach, backyard, or park. Make sure to bring s’mores, blankets, and pillows for a comfortable evening with your pals.
Go on a Picnic
A picnic party is probably one of the easiest to organize. All you need to do is gather some blankets, prepare snacks like sandwiches and pizza, and you’re good to go. Don’t forget to bring a speaker for feel-good music as you converse with your friends.
Regardless of age, you can always come up with fun and exciting activities for your birthday. So step out of your comfort zone and ditch your old birthday tradition of celebrating in your bedroom. Get out, have fun, and see how amazing it is to celebrate your life.
