- Host a Game Night. Have everyone come in their favorite pajamas or athleisure and bring their go-to board game from way back when, like Dream Phone or Guess Who?
- Do a Spa Day. Indulge in DIY facials (or sheet masks), massage trains, and at-home mani/pedis while watching a movie marathon. If you want to go the extra step, host the party at a spa instead, so you don't have to worry about getting anything set up.
- Have a Cake Swap. Is it worth getting a year older without the frosting and candles? We think not. Ask each guest to forgo gifts and bring their favorite cake instead.
- Cook the Night Away. Let's face it: everyone loves a dinner party. If you don't want to ask everyone to bring their own food, create a menu of your favorite homemade meals, and then cook them for your big day.
- Have a birthday countdown. Count down the days to their birthday by crossing them off on a calendar or even doing a simple advent calendar like this one filled with small treats or things you love about them!
- Set up a birthday scavenger hunt. Give them the first clue for this printable birthday scavenger hunt as soon as they wake up leading them to special surprises throughout the house!
- Go out all on decor. You know those streamers hidden in the closet? Get them out. Fill up their room with balloons while they’re sleeping. Add party decorations throughout the house.
- Make a surprise sign. Add a big surprise sign like this one to their door while they’re sleeping! Have the entire family write things they love about the person on it, draw pictures, or do other things that will make them smile when they wake up.
