If the answer to any of this question is yes, then you are at the perfect place. Read ahead to find out.
Below are six of the must-try activities if you want to have a memorable birthday bash :
- Sleepover and game nights
What better way to celebrate your birthday than by having a game night accompanied by a fun sleepover? A fun slumber party to make your day memorable.
Has everyone come in their favorite pajamas or athleisure and bring their go-to board game from way back when like Dream Phone or Guess Who? And for an extra dose of nostalgia, have goody bags for the winners. You can do face masks, eat junk food, catch up on celebrity gossip, and watch your favorite films from your youth.
Let’s find out a fun nostalgic way to celebrate your big day!
- Wine And Cheese
Most parties are all about the food, and this one is going to be no exception.
Instead of staying in, head to the city for a wine tasting. The urban winery trend is making it more convenient for urbanites to get the vineyard experience without traveling out of town. Plus, many wineries offer great menus. Call ahead to reserve a birthday cake and plenty of seats for your party.
Or you can have a wine and cheese party at your own home. Research the perfect pairings for wine and cheese, wine, and anything really, on a site like Wine Folly. If you want to go all out, offer wine flights to your guests. Instead of birthday gifts, ask everyone to bring their favorite bottle instead.
Everyone loves a glass of vino and learning a little something. Savvy wine clubs like Winc offer a wine tasting 101 kit that is perfect for parties and digging into your favorite bottle’s nuances. Not interested in signing up for a service? Just have your friends bring their favorite bottles and go from there.
- Giving It Back
If there’s a cause you’re passionate about, ask your inner circle to spend the afternoon volunteering for your favorite organization. You can also request that any funds intended for your birthday present instead be donated to the organization. This way, you can have your birthday in a way that will help those who need your help the most.
Because what better way than to give it back to those who are in dire need of help.
- Spa Day And Self Care
What better way to celebrate your birthday than with a spa and self-care day?
Book a day at the spa for all of your friends well in advance so you don’t run into an overbooked spa that can’t accommodate walk-ins.
Or you can plan a home spa day and give each other facials, manicure/pedicure, and serve fruity drinks. You can also indulge in DIY facials (or sheet masks), massage trains, an at-home manicure/pedicure while having a movie marathon.
Treat yourself and your friends to a full day of wellness. Whether that means getting in touch with your spirituality via a psychic, trying crystal healing, or DIYing sugar scrubs, it’s totally up to you.
Everyone deserves a self-care day, and what better way than doing it on your birthday!
- Scavenger Hunt
A scavenger hunt is another game that you can use to spice up a birthday party. Personalized scavenger hunts are fun, they make good gifts, and they can be made pretty quickly.
You can feature something unique about them in each clue, with the destination being their actual birthday party. This is fun, active, and inexpensive to create.
For planning the scavenger hunt, you can walk around the house and make a list of all the potential places to hide clues.
Aim for objects that have a personal connection to the birthday boy/girl.
Create a clue for each item. One important thing to do is to plan the order of the clues. Start with something easy and then move to the more difficult and exciting ones.
You can offer clues when they get very stuck.
Let the scavenger hunt lead them to the main presentation at the end. Or you can hide small gifts as clues, and the final clue leads to the last big gift.
You can customize the hunt in any way you want as long as your group of friends and the birthday boy/girl have fun and enjoys it.
You can even have a virtual scavenger hunt if people live far away.
So, Plan your scavenger hunt birthday party now !!!
