Creative ways to celebrate a birthday
- On your loved-one’s birthday, send his or her parents a thank-you card.
- Each year on your child’s birthday, write a letter sharing details recapping their year, and what you love about them. Store them in a box to present when the child heads off to college.
- For a 50th birthday party, request that all gifts have something to do with the number "50" — 50 golf balls, 50 pieces of chocolate, 50 notes to open for 50 days, a 50-year-old book, etc.
- Make an artful label for a wine bottle. Take a picture of the birthday girl or boy and glue it to the bottle over the old label. You’ll create a whole new vintage. “Wine not?”
- Wrap bottles of bubbles with wishes for the birthday girl. The inscription might read: ”Thank you for blowing into our life.”
- Make posters wishing someone a happy birthday and hang them on trees and light-posts leading the person home from work.
- Play pin the tail on the donkey at a child’s party. For a grown-up party, blow up a picture of the birthday girl or boy and pin the tail on their picture. We promise this game will bring lots of laughs!
- Make fun birthday balloons. Before you blow up balloons, write a birthday wish on a star-shaped slip of paper and put it inside the balloon. Have the balloons filled with helium (at your local party store) or blow them up yourself.
- Have a slumber party (they're not just for kids). Invite your girlfriends to come over (and bring pajamas) for a night of princess delights. Arrange to have a massage therapist, psychic, or tarot card reader, and a manicurist. Indulge, have fun, laugh, tell secrets, and play with your friends. Have a breakfast with Belgian waffles, whipped cream, and strawberries.
- Create a birthday card. Glue a photo of the birthday gal or guy on the front and write a great quote inside.
