Regardless of your age, celebrating a birthday should be a wonderful experience for all involved. However, if you have a milestone birthday on the horizon, you may want something a little different this year. Instead of the usual family get-together or drinking with friends, a milestone birthday, such as your 21st, 30th or 40th, is the perfect excuse to go all out and plan the luxury event of a lifetime. Here are some ideas to get your imagination rolling.
Decade Themed Party
Everybody loves a fancy dress party, and a decade-themed birthday celebration is the perfect way for everyone to showcase their creativity. For example, if you’re about to turn 20, organise a sophisticated 1920’s themed party with art deco-themed decorations and request everyone to come dressed to the nines in their finest flapper attire. If you’re turning 50, have a 1950s night and serve retro diner classics like milkshakes and sundaes while you all dance to the quintessential jukebox tunes of the era.
Check Off Something On Your Bucket List
We all have a bucket list – a list of desired experiences and achievements to tick off before one “kicks the bucket”. Whether your bucket list is chock full of daring adventures, such as bungee jumping, skydiving and world travel, or decidedly more laid-back affairs like visiting a Michelin star restaurant, a milestone birthday is the ideal excuse to experience something remarkable. Remember, you only live once, so grab these opportunities while you still can!
Book A Trip Away
A milestone birthday calls for truly extraordinary experiences, so why not throw caution to the wind and book the trip of your dreams? Perhaps you’ve always wanted to visit a particular country or see a world-famous monument or natural wonder. If international travel is a little out of your budget, consider booking a more modest getaway to a hotel or affordable holiday resort. You could even take yourself off for a solo hiking holiday or backpacking trip – whatever takes your fancy.
Recreate Your Youth
What better way to celebrate your mature years than by reliving your youth? Gather some long-standing friends and share memories about the years past. You could even organise a party themed around your prime years, with the hit music of the era and a “younger you” dress code. Look at old photos, tell stories and toast to old friends while you reminisce about your lives together. This celebration idea is perfect for those wanting a slightly more relaxed, toned-down event.
Book A Private Caterer
Booking a private caterer for a sophisticated dinner party in the comfort of your own home is ideal for a memorable evening of good food, fine wine and excellent company. Greet your guests with a glass of champagne and sit back as a professional caterer serves up a decadent feast – this takes the responsibility and pressure off you so you can relax and enjoy your milestone birthday in style. Most private caterers will work with you to create an exceptional menu with your favourite dishes cooked to perfection.
Dine Out Somewhere Special
If an evening at home seems unremarkable, consider booking a table at the finest restaurant in town. While not everybody can afford to dine in high-class restaurants every weekend, a milestone birthday is a perfect opportunity to splash out. Try luxury dishes you’ve never sampled before, such as caviar hors d’oeuvres, pan-seared wagyu steak and desserts decorated with gold leaf, all washed down with some of the finest wines available.
Hire A Country House
Get away somewhere opulent and private by having a group of friends chip in to hire a country house for the weekend. No matter the cause for celebration, a country house provides a spacious, beautifully-decorated environment to commemorate an event in style. Furthermore, you will find that booking a country house for a large number of guests spreads the cost, making your luxury celebration surprisingly affordable.
Book A Luxury Spa Break
A luxury spa break is a fail-safe crowd-pleasing option for a small group of friends or family members. Alternatively, you could book a relaxed and romantic spa weekend experience for you and your partner. You could even push the boat out and book rejuvenating treatments such as massages, aromatherapy, facials and manicures. You may be able to save money on your spa break by booking a promotional package.
