Something Completely DifferentOne idea is to write to your friends individually and ask them to take you somewhere they like to go – a favourite walk, a restaurant, a lovely view or whatever. You pay for each trip so instead of paying for a large party you fund a series of individual outings. You can keep celebrating for months by doing this! Alternatively, if your friends would like to share the party with you, there is always the more common, but still somewhat different, Safari Party. You wander round to different people’s houses, having a different course, and maybe some entertainment, at each one.
Taking a trip somewhere is always a popular option. If you,
or the person for whom you are organising the celebration, is a
keen sports fan, take a trip to see his/her favourite team in
action, followed by a celebratory (or the opposite!!) meal. If
he/she is a theatre or opera buff, take them to a show and a
meal. There are any number of options, depending on likes
and passions. The London Eye is a
great place to go at the start (or maybe the end) of a
celebration. You can reserve a capsule, have
champagne in it and use the Eye as an integral part of the celebration. For something even more different, how about one of these?
If you think one of these or something like it might be a
good idea, go to
