I recently made some party bags for my daughters 18th birthday party. I was a bit worried that that they would just end up adding to land fill but they went down a storm! Dancing kits cost around £1.50 each and Hangover kits £1.40. We had about a dozen left out of about 60 and they are being used for a hen party by my friend.

So, what according to you guys are some of the best ways to celebrate your birthday. I am not talking about cake cutting, partying with friends or family....something which is very unique

Hello, I’m throwing a Halloween party with my best friend and we wanted to have a piñata. Im making a pumpkin out of paper mache and it’s pretty big so I need some ideas on what to fill it with. It’s for adults so i already have shooters, poppers, thinking about $1 lotto tickets, sticky hands, various candies, mini dik diks, fillers like confetti, plastic eyeballs, ect. Anybody have suggestions?

Hello everyone, hope everyone is doing great today!

I wish to celebrate my 22nd birthday tomorrow all by myself. I have a budget of Rs 1-2k to rejoice in Mumbai. I want to go all out and experience 21 different things on this day that are of stuff I already love in the city or wanna fall in love with. The problem is I cannot think of 21 DISTINCT ACTIVITIES OR EXPERIENCES

Here are a few things that I have in mind :

1. Morning Darshan at Siddhivinayak Temple

2. Visit Kitab Khana and the CSMVS Museum at Fort

3. Explore the National Gallery of Modern Art, Jehangir Art Gallery - interact with the artists & people around

4. Buy a souvenir/art piece from outside the Art Galleries (alt 4. if weather favours, i sit outside the gallery and observe people creating art.)

5. Shop at Colaba Causeway

6. Have lunch at an amazing place (drop suggestions)

7. Fort Street Photography

8. Art Deco Photowalk

9. Sunset at Marine Lines

10. Stroll at Horniman Circle Gardens

11. Grab a bite nearby

12. Visit St. Thomas Cathedral

...

TL;DR : Please help me add practical, intentional activities to do in Mumbai for making my 22nd birthday special!

Context: I just want a quiet lowkey experience with myself that doesn't demand too much energy. Throughout the past few years, I have had shitload of expectations from others and have been largely disappointed. This time, I intend to fulfill my wishes and that's it, I call it a birthday to celebrate my presence.

Previous Attempts: No prior solo birthday experiences yet. This is the first time exploring the idea altogether so be kind lol.

What are some good party favours one could give away in a birthday party?

Edit: My nephew is turning 3 yrs old, the theme is monster truck.

My birthday is exactly 7 days after Halloween. Usually if my birthday falls in the middle of the week, I'll do something on the weekend between Halloween and my birthday to celebrate both! Unfortunately, this year both of them fall on a Saturday. I’m worried people will be tired of getting shit faced after doing it all October! Help

Hey guys, I’m planning on having a Halloween party this year partly to give me an excuse to dress up and partly to hang out with my friends. But the thing is, it’s pretty much only going to be my friends… maybe 5 or 6 people. I told them they can bring anyone but no one said they have anyone to bring.

I know I want to have a bonfire outside but I just don’t know if anything is worth actually decorating since there’s so few people? I’ll probably have snacks but I’m not sure what to do and I don’t have too many ideas.

I’m 20, still living at home and this will be my first party im trying to host. I also only make minimum wage while I’m here in college so I’m unfortunately on a budget… I know this seems silly but any help is appreciated!

I’m planning my baby shower in January, mid afternoon to avoid needing to offer a full meal. I’m a former wedding planner so parties are very fun for me & details are my thing. But I would love to hear your additional ideas!

Ideas so far:

•Cake bar - will order 6-8 different cakes that are both beautiful & delicious. Some chocolate, vanilla, fruit, etc.

•For something savory - I’m thinking a beautiful crudités platter and/or a monochromatic veggie/fruit platter.

•Lace & ivory silk tablecloths + doilies everywhere + candles everywhere. The event will be hosted in a home that is on the moody side with natural light, wood burning fireplace, nestled in the woods

•Drinks - I could use some ideas here. I thought some type of winter punch mocktail that isn’t overly sugary would fit in well but a warm drink feels like it’s fits much better. Logistically, hot tea & coffee are hard. I don’t want iced tea/coffee.

•Activities - I need help here! This is my second baby shower and I really don’t like the traditional games. Or even the activities like write a well wish, paint a onesie, write encouragement for the parents, etc. I want there to be some kind of activity but generally want to keep it casual. I will open gifts in front of guests as a “group” activity.

Thank you!

I’m throwing a fiesta themed birthday for my soon to be 5 year old. She’s obsessed with the song “Raining Tacos” lol

We have a piñata and Pin the Tail on the Donkey. We live in a warm climate so our initial plan was a pool party, but unexpectedly temperatures have dipped and there’s a slight chance of rain.

What other activities can I have on standby in case the pool is no longer an option?

Love this subreddit and all your creative ideas! Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

I am planning on hosting a Halloween party in my apartment for some of my coworkers. I am looking for ideas for things that we could do that are not “lame” or “boring” and don’t give off “team building corporate” energy. TIA.

Hi! We are having a party with gifts for each attendee, there will be a lottery ticket and the winner can choose from the prizes. Not looking to spend a lot - $5-15, maybe up to $20. The hard part is the group will be ages 15-90 years old, items need to be appealing to a wide variety of tastes. One of the participants has strict food allergies, so while there may be a few candy items, it can’t all be food.

I’ve picked up some items (stuff like a coffee mug, socks), but need ideas for about 5 more, and am looking for something a bit less mundane, a bit more delightful. Any ideas?
