Birthday Parties - Themes, hints and tips
Birthdays are the most personal day of the year. At OPH we believe in making that day one to remember with our memorable birthday party themes. So if you are organising your own birthday party or organising a birthday party on behalf of someone else, check out these birthday party themes, guaranteed to make the occaision so much more special. If you are organising a birthday party on behalf of someone else, remember it’s their day-not yours, so bear this in mind when choosing a birthday party theme. A Day at the Races A great birthday idea especially if you have a Spring, Summer or Autumnal birthday. Many horse racing meetings have evening cards during these months and the event can be enjoyed by young and old alike, regardless of whether they like a bet or not. With this birthday party theme you don’t have to foot the bill, although you could offer to subsidise the less well off in your group. Steam Train Experience You don’t have to be an enthusiast to enjoy this birthday party idea. People of all ages are fascinated by steam trains and many companies that organise day or evening excursions have a full buffet and obligatorylicensed bar on board. Spread the cost among your guests and perhaps if your party is large enough you could charter a train. Ideal if you are catering for people with limited mobility but remember to book early because demand usually exceeds supply. Canal Cruise The inland waterways steeped in history provide an excellent birthday party theme Sit back, relax and watch the world go by Many companies offer dining as part of the excursion but as space is a constraint the menu may be limited. It’s wise to check on dietary needs prior to booking. Murder Mystery Evening When murder is on the menu you’re sure to have a fun filled evening. With this birthday party theme if you’re planning to host the party at home, ready made Murder Mystery Games can be purchased from a variety of outlets. For larger groups check out the local press for details of Murder Mystery Evenings at nearby hotels. Think outside the box. The traditional party is seldom a memorable affair and is rather like a one size fits all situation. Remember Fortune Favours the Braveand make your day count. Be self indulgent. It’s allowed, it’s your birthday. Whatever you choose to do your guests are sure to enjoy the experience even if it’s only for the experience. From birthday parties, to Party time
