Birthday celebrations don’t have to break the bank or involve extravagant planning to be memorable. In fact, a low key birthday party can often be more intimate, relaxed, and budget-friendly, whilst still creating lasting memories with loved ones!
Whether you’re planning a birthday bash for yourself or someone else, opting for a low-key vibe can be a refreshing change. Here’s our top ideas for a chilled-out birthday!
DIY Spa Day
Treat the birthday honouree to a day of pampering with a DIY spa experience! Set up stations for facials, manicures, and massages, complete with soothing music and scented candles. You can buy a variety of face masks and even chill the face masks over some Crushed Ice for an extra touch of luxury. Or, roll an ice cube under your eyes to reduce puffiness, or create an ice bath facial using a bowl of water and Party Ice
Game Night Get-Together
Bring out the board games and cards for a casual game night! Encourage pals to wear their comfiest pyjamas and pick your best board games along with snacks and a selection of drinks to keep the fun going all night long. Did someone say murder mystery?
Garden Movie Marathon
Turn your garden into a cozy outdoor cinema for a memorable movie night under the stars – what could be better? Set up a projector and screen, scatter blankets and cushions for seating, and string up fairy lights for ambiance. Serve up popcorn, candy, and drinks chilled with Party Ice for a classic movie experience.
Cake Swap Extravaganza
Forget traditional birthday gifts… invite guests to participate in a cake swap instead! Ask each of your friends bring their favourite homemade cake or dessert to share with the group. Not only will everyone get to indulge in their favourite treats, but it’s a budget friendly way to celebrate!
Brunch Birthday Bash
Who says birthdays have to be celebrated in the evening? Host a cozy brunch gathering where guests can roll out of bed and straight into a relaxed morning of celebrations! Serve up delicious pancakes, waffles, and fruit platters, accompanied by mimosas or refreshing mocktails. Set the mood with soft lighting and soothing background music for a laid-back start to the day.
So, whether you opt for a DIY spa day, game night get-together, garden movie marathon, cake swap extravaganza, or brunch gathering, the key to creating a low-key birthday is prioritising comfort, enjoyment, and making memories together!
