My birthday is coming up :') and my very overly anxious and sensitive self is worrying over how i should spend my special day. I worry over being too simple, too broke, and too wrong to plan a celebration, but reading this post has made the idea of planning less dreadful. Thank you :)
my friend's have always been so gracious in letting me drag them camping for my birthday parties! it's a rich tradition i cherish. dunkin donuts the morning we leave is a requirement. i think one of my favorites was for a college friend where her boyfriend became alex trebech and hosted a birthday jeopardy game about her life. there was a lot of laughter and we revisited old memories and learned new things about her! 10/10 recommend
love the intentionality, and I find that way more often than not, intentionality is met with others' curiosity, respect, and joyful engagement. so fun celebrating you!
I love what you said in step one about defining your purpose- so necessary! If you haven’t yet read The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker, I think you’d really enjoy it. You’re already siblings in thought!
Group project contribution: I was so impressed by my friend’s zoom birthday I attended. She had designated activities: trivia, a drop-in chat designed like an open house, and more. I was so proud of how intentional each activity was, so there were not 5 people talking over each other, or alternatively, not anyone speaking at all. Those lockdown birthdays deserve a special gold star for innovation!
GROUP PROJECT:
Please describe the most unique birthday party you’ve ever attended - and why it stood out!
