Someone’s special day is approaching and you want to make sure that it’s celebrated in the best possible way. In a perfect world, you might organize a big birthday party for them but a lot of people are, understandably, still not too big on attending social events with a lot of people. So, what can you do to make their party special even if it’s only a handful of people?
Start the day off right
Waking up on your birthday is an exciting feeling for a lot of people, but you can make it even better by starting their day off with a bright and warm welcome. Making them a birthday breakfast is one thing, but you can also do things like leave a small present or a heartfelt birthday note on their bed. Let them get up and start their day right, but make sure they know that this is their big day and they’re being appreciated on it.
Have a special birthday dinner
For a lot of people, a birthday is, in large about, about getting to eat delicious food with the people that you like best. To that end, taking the time to prepare their favorite meal can be a lovely way to make sure that they get to enjoy all of their best-loved indulgences on the big day. If they love a particular restaurant, you can even call up to see if you can reserve a seat or have that meal delivered or picked up for them.
Put a little more love into the celebrations
You might not be able to get a lot of people to come to a birthday party. This means, however, that you don’t need to put all that effort into organizing a big party so you can put that energy elsewhere, like into celebrating your loved one. Handmade presents are great if you can manage to do them well. However, anyone can learn how to decorate a cake and make it feel extra unique, so if you’re not crafty enough to do a DIY gift justice, make their delicious baked birthday treat a little more special, instead.
Make it their cozy evening
If things can’t be loud and crowded and colorful and exciting, they can definitely be intimate and comfortable and heartwarming. In the evening, sit down, make a hot chocolate party for just the two of you, or however many live in the home and indulge with their favorite film. If they’re not a big film buff, you can find other ways to spend quality time together, be it with party games or board games, or even a dance party. For younger kids, simply spending time playing the games that they want to play could be all the fun they could want.
A birthday party isn’t about how many people attend, it’s about the people who are there sharing their love and appreciation of the person being celebrated. Hopefully, the tips above give you some ideas on how to capture that feeling.
