Best Ways to Celebrate a Birthday

*Collaborative Post

The birthday of a loved one is always a great opportunity to show them how much you care and to plan a celebration. So, what are the best ways to celebrate a birthday? Read on for a few ideas that are a little bit more special and memorable than tea and cake.

Movie Marathon

A movie marathon can be a great way to have some fun while also getting cosy and recharging your batteries (it is ideal during the colder months), especially when you have some tasty treats to enjoy throughout the marathon. Before you get to the birthday person’s favourite film, give them a personalised card with their favourite quote or scene from the film.

Host a Murder Mystery Night

A murder mystery night is a fun, memorable way to celebrate a birthday and a chance to bring your friends together and dress up for a special occasion. It can be daunting hosting a murder mystery evening if you have not done one before, but there is a lot of helpful information online that will help you plan an unforgettable evening full of shock, entertainment and laughter.

Visit Their Favourite Restaurant

Visiting their favourite restaurant will also be a good option and one that your loved one is sure to appreciate, especially if you pick up the bill at the end! With COVID-19 preventing people from eating out for so long, many people are rediscovering the joy of going to a restaurant so this could be the perfect option for a birthday in 2022.

Theme Costume Party Extravaganza

Hosting a themed costume party can transform an ordinary birthday celebration into an extraordinary event filled with laughter and creativity. Encourage guests to dress up as their favourite characters from movies, TV shows, or historical periods to excite the festivities. Decorate the venue to match the chosen theme and prepare themed snacks and drinks to complete the immersive experience. Whether a futuristic steampunk extravaganza or a darkly elegant gathering adorned in gothic clothing, a themed costume party promises to create unforgettable memories for the birthday honoree and guests alike.

Go On a Day Trip

In a similar vein, going on a day trip somewhere could be a thoughtful idea as many people have not done much travelling even within the UK in recent times. Visiting one of the UK’s many great cities or a countryside escape would allow you to spend quality time together and create new memories for their birthday. Whether this is just the two of you or with a group of friends, a day trip will allow you to escape your normal routine and have fun in a new environment.

Celebrate your birthday at the pool

Everyone wants to have a unique birthday. Every year we try to organize that day in a special way. It is a wonderful idea to celebrate a birthday around the pool. It does not matter the weather, there are indoor and outdoor pools where you can organize one of the best days of your life. During the pool parties, you will not only need good food, music and drinks, but also interesting scenery. For beautiful pictures, you will need water decorations, for example, water balls, glasses, balloons, and inflatables. Glasses and balls will become a part of your style, but for example, a custom made bottle pool float will decorate the pool. For a bottle pool float, you can choose the colours that best suit your birthday theme. Just a few simple decorations and your day is done ․
