Breath of Fresh... birthdays

Happy birthday to you... Happy birthday to you...

Here is an idea for a birthday celebration!

 

I just recently had a birthday adventure for some dear friends, and it's an idea that can be adapted for any occasion and any person.  This day was constructed around the personalities and likes of the guests of honor.  It was an all day event full of food, shopping, clues and fun! 

Here's how it went:

This party was hosted by 6 people.  We each gave money to the birthday girls as their gift from us, and we took them out to spend it!

To start, the ladies were each given a wallet with money in it.

Then they were given hints for each adventure of the day.

The first was simply,

Then we moved on to dessert... mmm... 

there's nothing like a cupcake!

On to a photo opp for our birthday girls! It's nice to capture a special moment to remember forever.

After the photo opp we moved on to shopping, AND we all needed to walk off all of the food we had just eaten! 

It still wasn't over though.  We had appetizers at one of our favorite restaurants, 

 grabbed some dessert to take home, and finished the birthday bash with games. 

Each part of the day was kept secret to add to the wonder.  It ended up being a blast for everyone involved.  It's nice to "take a moment to make a moment" for good friends.   After all, they are worth it! 

A couple more details: 

1. We made CD's of songs the ladies could enjoy during our drive.  2. Throw pillows were put in the back seat to make them that much more comfy.  3. Cold drinks (sparkling lemonade) were kept in a cooler.  4. Tote bags with party hats, hand sanitizer, gum and some fun candies were also given as fun extras.  Such fun in the details!!!

Happy birthday dear friends... Happy birthday to you!!!
