Five Ways to Celebrate a Birthday While Socially Distancing

Mon 20th July, 2020

In actual fact - during these trying times, a HAPPY birthday is exactly what you need!

While Covid19 is still amidst us - we’ve all had to get used to a sort of “new normal”. However just because things are different, it doesn’t mean that you or a loved one don’t deserve a special birthday. In actual fact - during these trying times, a HAPPY birthday is exactly what you need!

Throw A Drive-By Party

The drive-by party idea originated in lockdown and has since become increasingly popular. A little drive-by is an excellent way to celebrate yours or a loved one’s birthday! Have your family and friends drive past your house or show up in your driveway with homemade treats, banners and presents. On your part - you could leave some delicious treats (in individual packages) out for your “guests”.

Remember to maintain social distancing and wear your mask!

Celebrate with a Picnic

A socially-distanced picnic party is an amazing way to celebrate a birthday! They say the best things in life are free, and one of the things we love most about London is its beautiful parks - there for all to enjoy. Get your guests to pack their picnic baskets and meet at a park to spread out their blankets and celebrate the guest of honour.

All from a safe distance of course!

A Drop-Off of Flowers

Flowers are always a great idea! Flowers never fail to bring a smile to the receivers face. Drop off as many flowers as you and the other “guests” can afford - and when your loved ones open their front door - they’re sure to be ecstatic by the surprise!

Book a Food Truck

Feel like you still want to be able to see your friends and want to celebrate with food and drinks? Make that possible by renting a food truck! Have the food truck park in your driveway and your friends and family can get their fixes.

Make sure to maintain good social distancing practices though!

Plan a Staycation

Still, feeling a bit nervous about socialising in any way and just want to be able to wind down with your partner? Then a staycation is exactly what you need! Pick a picturesque spot where you can relax and take a walk or do a little shopping to celebrate your birthday in style!
