Birthdays are such a special time of the year, and after the weird year we’ve all had, we have even more reason to celebrate this year. If your birthday is just around the corner, here are three tips for making your next birthday ultra special. Keep reading to learn more:
1. Get Serious About the Invites
Birthday invitations are such a special part of the birthday planning experience. Most of us rarely receive any mail, and when we do it’s often a bill or advertisement. There’s something so exciting about opening your letter box to see a beautiful envelope inside and opening it to reveal an exciting invitation. Personalized invitations are a fantastic way to build the anticipation for your birthday, as well as adding a little personality to your invite.

2. Call in Some Help
I’m a big fan of asking for help when I’m tackling a big task. If you’re trying to throw a big party, then chances are you may need some help to make it live up to your expectations. You can ask for friends and family members to come over the night before to help you with decoration or food prep. One thing I always find helpful is to not ask for gifts, but instead ask everyone to bring a plate of their speciality meal. That way you’ll have plenty of food, and you can focus on other aspects such as the cake and decorations. The variety of things for everyone to try and enjoy is going to ensure it’s a party to remember!
3. Don’t Forget Photos
Time goes so fast and if we’re too busy, we often forget to take photos. For this reason I always suggest having photo taking be a feature of your special day. Could you buy or rent a polaroid camera, so that you can take photos of your loved ones and give them copies to take home? Perhaps you know someone who is a budding photographer, maybe you can hire them for the day to document your special celebration. Another fun idea is to pick up some cheap photo booth style props and make a photo booth area with a spare digital camera. You can also use a mini printer to print out photos at the event so people can take their favorite pics home with them!
Hopefully these three tips get you excited about planning your next birthday party. I’m sure if you take them on board, you’ll have a special party you’ll be sure to remember.
