Birthday parties are always
great fun, whether it’s for you or a loved one. They can be the best part
of getting a year older, so you want to do something big and fantastic. But it
also needs to be something that other people will enjoy, appreciate, and talk
about.
You want to make the guests feel
wanted and welcome - this might be your
celebration, but it’s the people around you that helped you grow as a
person that also need to be thanked! And that’s why birthday parties
are so important in our culture - it’s a bit like giving a little back to those who
helped you through the year, while also treating yourself to something grand as
well!
So, below we’ve compiled a list
for you to have a look at, from unusual venues to ideas that are just a bit
wacky and fun, that are sure to entertain friends and family alike. We’ve also
put in the ages at which each activity would probably be of appeal, but if you’re young and want something really sophisticated,
like a yacht party, or are older and you want to go scuba diving, go ahead!
There are no limits, it’s your day! So here are seven unusual and fun places
to have a birthday party that you may not have considered before!
1 - Live like a fairy - hold your event in a treehouse!
Treehouses are one of mankind’s most underrated bits of fun, from the sheds that have just been
placed up in a tree that
looks a bit perilous, to full-on functional buildings that have been built
around trees, they’re a bit of everyone’s childhood that kind
of just got stuck in the past. But that’s a load of rubbish - tree houses are
excellent fun, they’re grand and fantastic, and you can rent out some
purpose-built tree houses for your event. They’re not just for childhood! This
will be good for those who have children to entertain, who want to excite and
wow guests with gorgeous scenery, and a mystical, fairy-like feel! Recommended
for a children’s party where there are going to be many adults or
kids that are around the ages of five to 10.
2 - Have a thrill at your local theme park
Now here’s a serious way to
celebrate your birthday and entertain guests - spend the weekend racing around
on roller coasters and on a Ferris wheel, eating as many donuts, and having as
much fizzy pop as you want. It’s great fun for all the family - it’s a great opportunity for celebrating friends happy.
If you’re a teen or someone who’s in their early 20's
who wants to have a special bash for your friends, this is nothing but a great
choice.
3 - Would a gorgeous yacht float your boat?
So, what if you’re a little more laid back, and you want something
that shows that? Maybe something that exudes sophistication and maturity? Well,
for you, there’s the option of a yacht birthday party celebration! A celebration that’s perfect for
older guests who want to watch the sun go down on a lovely yacht on a tranquil
sea, with a glass of champagne. It’s a
great way to spend a relaxing afternoon socializing, and with your favorite
evening attire, you’re
bound to feel classy!
4 - What about scuba diving?
Yes, I said scuba diving. If you’re a fan of animals, this one’s for you! Go swimming
with shoals of fish in reefs and oceans. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime
experience for many.
Not only this, but you can also
learn a lot about the biomes, and all the extensive biodiversity under the
waves. This will be great if you have a young family and it is also a great way
to create many memories.
5 - Fancy living like a king or queen? Then try a castle
There are many castles that rent
out rooms and hold medieval-style banquets. These are great fun, especially if
you want to attend in fancy dress! You’ll be treated like
medieval lords and ladies throughout the whole event, and you may even rent
rooms to stay the night. It’s great fun for all the family, or for a small group
of close friends to spend the evening partying and having a big old bash!
6 - Fly high with a skydiving simulator
Ever wanted to go skydiving but question
the safety of jumping out of a plane? Well, you’re not alone there.
But, with this incredible experience, (and without the heights) you can enjoy
the experience of falling by staying in the same place.
These are great fun for people
and families who have teenagers and young adults in their midst, who want a
thrill, and fun, exciting memories to share with their friends.
7- Why not try
rock climbing?
Another good one to enjoy with
friends and a young family. Recommended for young teenagers, as they would
probably get the most out of the sense of achievement and inspiration that rock climbing has to offer. Not only this, but there is often a massive range
of different walls and abilities to choose from, making this the perfect
activity for children with lots of friends. Not only will you have fun, but
you’ll be doing some exercise, too.
So, those are seven fun and
fantastic ways that you could celebrate your birthday. Some are a bit unusual,
and others just sound plain fun, don’t they? That’s the thing with
birthdays - you need to pick an event that works for you. But always remember
that your friends and family need to enjoy the event, so it’s always good to ask for suggestions from them when
you’re planning the event.
Have fun, make the best memories
you can, and have a very happy birthday!
