Winter birthday: our ideas for celebrating in style
In summer, there are many ideas for parties to organize! We automatically think of having a BBQ, a picnic or a pool party with friends. In winter, it may be less obvious. However, there are plenty of original activities to celebrate your birthday in style even in winter!
See how to bring magic to your winter birthday party, whether at home or outside!
A winter house party
It's possible to throw an amazing birthday party while staying at home! We share some ideas with you to add a touch of originality to the ordinary birthday party.
Indoor beach party
Missing summer? Bring some warmth into your home by throwing an indoor beach party! Everyone in beach dresses or swimsuits! Bring your sandals, whip up some festive cocktails from Crafty Cocktails, and play some background music.
The most motivated may even want to create a fake beach in the living room by installing a tarp on which to empty a few pockets of sand.
This is the idea to get started if you want your party to stand out this year!
Organize a workshop
There are now a host of companies that organize themed workshops and come to your home to give them. Book one of these in-home workshops for your birthday, it's an easy and fun way to mark this new year.
Here are some workshop ideas:
- Cooking workshops (plus everyone helps prepare dinner!)
- The art workshops
- Tastings of all kinds
The great thing about organized workshops is that they keep everyone busy and provide an activity that is out of the ordinary.
A winter birthday party outside
You can plan a party outside even in winter! The white landscapes are magical!
There are so many fun activities to do during the cold season. Make them the focus of your birthday party to surprise your guests and throw the most original party of the year!
In any case, remember to dress warmly and bring thermoses of coffee or hot chocolate! After spending some time outside, everyone will be happy to come inside to warm up and relax.
The winter campfire
Have you thought about having a winter campfire? It's a great way to celebrate a birthday during the cold season! Simply dig a fire ring in the snow. You can even carve benches and put warm blankets around the fire.
The slides
Think outside the box and take advantage of one of the most fun winter activities to add an original touch to your birthday: bring everyone sliding! It's sure to surprise your guests.
And yes, even for a grown-up party! It will please the child in you.
Go skating
Are you more of a skater than a sledder? Get them out and make your birthday party themed! Bring everyone to the rink for a friendly field hockey game or just some fun on the ice.
Games in the snow
You're never too old for a snowball fight! Welcome your guests by throwing snowballs at them. You could also have a snowman contest.
Don't be afraid to let go of your crazy!
Birthday activities
Don't feel like staying in, but are also too cold to throw a party outside in the winter? Take a look at the following ideas!
Rent a cottage with spa
Who doesn't dream of spending an evening in the warm water of a spa with a magnificent view of the winter landscape?
Rent a cottage with a spa and a fireplace and go for a luxurious weekend in nature with a few friends.
In the morning, serve a delicious brunch before heading out on snowshoes or cross-country skis. When you return: hot chocolate and a trip to the spa!
The evening show
Show evenings are a guaranteed success! Depending on the tastes of the birthday boy or girl and his or her family, it could be a comedy show, a music show or even a circus show!
There are several advantages with this birthday idea:
- Preparation is quick (no need to organize the meal, entertainment, etc.).
- It's fun and unifying
- It is original
You could start with dinner at the restaurant, continue with the show and finish with a drink in hand at the bar.
A day at the spa
Do you need to relax instead? Why not plan a day or evening at the spa with some close friends? There are ways to go to places where you can talk in a low voice and where there is a small bistro to refuel.
Celebrating a birthday in winter
In short, just because your birthday is in winter doesn't mean you have to settle for a simple dinner at home! You can also prepare an original birthday by using your imagination!
Get out in spite of the cold or take the opportunity to treat yourself to a special workshop while sharing a good time with your friends!
