Bring On The Birthday Celebrations

Birthday celebrations are incredibly important! Not only do they mark the date of when someone arrived on the planet, they also give you a reason to gather with family and friends. Finding time in everyone's busy schedule can be challenging but its always worthwhile. The earlier you start arranging the celebration the easier it is to coordinate schedules. My birthday is next month but I already have my birthday party plans in order!

Make Your Next Birthday Party Count With These Suggestions

According to recent Enbridge survey data, 91% of Canadians think it’s important to celebrate birthdays of family and friends. They also found 82% of people felt more special when someone put energy into their birthday.
Although birthday parties can take a lot of time and energy they are worth the effort! Remember the more prepared you are for the birthday celebration, the smoother the day will go, which means a lot more fun for everyone!  Here are a few birthday party planning tips


Set The Date

• Choose a date that does not conflict with other events (IE anniversaries, long weekends, community celebrations)
• Give your guests plenty of notice so they can make arrangements

Choose A Venue

• Will it be at your home, a local restaurant, or a fun place to celebrate
• If outside of your home be sure to contact the venue and make reservations before it gets booked up

Select A Theme

• Create a playlist around that theme
• Invite guests to dress according to the theme
• Select food and beverages around that theme (including the cake, but more on that below)
