Whether you’re focused on new budget goals or living far from family, you may feel that you have limited options when planning a birthday party this year. A birthday celebration doesn’t have to be extravagant or even take place outside the house. Get creative with fun ideas for a birthday party at home. From neighborhood get-togethers to video call parties, your home can be a great place to celebrate another year! 

 

Here are five ways to celebrate your birthday at home: 

 

Dinner ideas for an at-home birthday party

 

Recreate your favorite restaurant in your own kitchen and either make your favorite meal or have it delivered. This is a creative way to treat yourself to the meal you’ve been waiting for all year. Set the table, play some of your favorite music and enjoy. Don’t forget to have dessert at the end and surprise the birthday girl or boy when you start singing happy birthday!

Virtual birthday party ideas

Have everyone enjoy a dessert while on the call and recall funny memories during your time together! This is a fun way to catch up with your loved ones, especially if you don’t live near each other.

Mark something off your bucket list on your birthday
