No matter how old you are, the birthday party has to look like you.
So don’t limit the topic thinking it’s going to be off the charts or childish. This is your time, allow yourself to extrapolate and have fun. After all, that’s what birthday parties are for.
Value your personality and your tastes
Choose the birthday theme based on your tastes and personality, don’t just go after a trendy theme.
Your birthday is also an opportunity to highlight your characteristics, values and personality. Don’t be afraid to be creative and original.
Make a financial plan
Don’t put aside the party’s financial planning. Otherwise, when the fun is over you run a serious risk of sitting down and crying over a pile of debt.
Be realistic and make the party according to your conditions. If necessary, reduce the guest list, or consider having the party at home yourself.
