Sometimes, it's all too much to hire a venue and cater for 30+ people. However, it's your birthday, and you deserve to celebrate it in a way that is a little more special than the usual lunch or dinner. As I get older, I find it more and more difficult to organise all our loved ones to come together, and that's understandable. People have other commitments, their own families, and a backlog of other individuals they need to see and meet. So, instead of just growing 'another year older,' why not make it a bit more special with some styling and stationery? Give people a reason to take the night off. It doesn't have to be big; it's a small gesture to say, 'Hey, I know it's just another birthday, but it's a good excuse to give yourselves a break, wear that outfit that’s been waiting for an occasion, gather, and celebrate.'
