Would you like a great birthday, but don't know how to make this dream come true? Here is the article that's right for you!
Steps
Step 1. Explain to your parents in advance the ideas you would like to implement to celebrate your birthday
- What kind of party would you like and how many people do you want to invite? Where will be the party? You may need to think about the budget available, which is how much some things like food and drinks cost. By doing this, you will surely make a good impression on your parents.
- What do you really want for your birthday? Is it an affordable and reasonable option? If it's something big, be prepared to show your parents that you are responsible enough.
- Is there any place you just want to go with your parents to spend some time with them on this special day? For example, you could go to the zoo, swimming pool, amusement park, etc.
Step 2. Get plenty of sleep the day before so you don't get too tired on this exciting day
If you're having a sleepover, this could help you stay up all night if you want.
Step 3. On the morning of your birthday, wait for your parents to go down to the kitchen to "prepare everything"
You'll likely wake up early, so keep busy reading a book, for example. Your parents will call you when everything is ready.
Step 4. Ask if you can open the gifts
Make sure you show appreciation for your gifts, even if you think something isn't very "like you". Maybe you might even ask if you can eat your own cake for breakfast, unless it's for the party.
Step 5. Once you have opened all the presents, play with them
Find out how they work and how you can use them.
Step 6. Go get dressed (if you haven't already) and you could go for a bike ride around the neighborhood
Say hello to all your neighbors, this will make both you and them in a good mood.
Step 7. Call your friends when you get home
Tell them about your day up to that point and how excited you are about your party if you make one. Make sure you get them talking about their day too, you don't have to sound selfish or too full of you.
Step 8. If the party will be held on the same day, you may or may not have some free time before the guests arrive, so use it wisely
Try spending it with your parents so they won't feel left out, they're just as important as your friends! If the party doesn't take place on the same day as your birthday, use that time to be with your parents. It will help show them how much you appreciate what they have done to make this day special.
Step 9. When your guests arrive, show them where they can put their things and remember to thank them for the gifts they gave you
Show them around the place, whether it's your home or somewhere else, and stop and show them the gifts you've received. Remember to ask them to talk about themselves, creating a balanced conversation that is crucial in any relationship.
Step 10. Enjoy
Remember to enjoy the party, it's your birthday after all.
Step 11. Enjoy dinner with your friends and / or family
Pizza is always a good choice, and remember you can also go out to eat.
Step 12. The party doesn't end in the evening if you're having a sleepover
Maybe, you could stay up all night. Make sure you don't make too much noise; there are other people in the house who want to sleep.
Step 13. When your friends' parents come to pick them up, remember to thank them
You could also offer to help them carry their belongings in the car.
Advice
- Make sure you thank your parents and show them your appreciation for everything.
- Smile and look your parents in the eye when they sing you happy birthday, even if you are embarrassed. Make sure you show them your gratitude while eating the cake, you don't want to look spoiled.
