Today, holding a birthday in the form of a traditional feast of gifts, toasts, food and drink is unpopular. People strive to make their holidays or celebrations of loved ones unusual, bright, memorable and fun.

To make the holiday exactly like this, you need to choose or come up with a suitable scenario for holding a birthday and, of course, prepare for it.

Is there anything in common?

Regardless of whose birthday is celebrated and how exactly it is done, there are common, key elements that are characteristic of such holidays.

Each birthday program includes:

• congratulations;
• gift giving;
• treat.

These are the three obligatory, main “pillars” on which the whole holiday rests. They are the main points from which you should build on when compiling your own scenario for holding a birthday. And it is on them that you should be guided when choosing a ready-made celebration option.

How to celebrate in a cafe?

Booking a table in a cafe for a birthday is an idea that many people like. The benefits of celebrating in a cafe are obvious:

• no need to cook;
• no need to wash dishes and tidy up;
• you won't need to see off the guests who have been sitting there;
• you can make noise without fear of neighbors, and so on.

However, many are confused by the fact that the celebration of a small company in a restaurant or cafe is essentially the same boring feast. But that's not entirely true.

Spending a birthday at a table in a cafeteria or restaurant can be diversified by table entertainment, such as forfeits or leapfrog. In addition, when choosing a cafe, you can book a table in the place where there is karaoke, a dance floor and an evening variety program. This will be a great filling of the holiday.

Having chosen a cafe, restaurant or club for a birthday party, having booked a table and discussed the menu, you should start preparing for the holiday. Namely, to think over and purchase decorations for the selected table, of course, they must be agreed with the administration of the establishment. When ordering a table, you need to inspect it in order to understand exactly how to decorate it. The best places in any room for celebrating a birthday are the corner sofa areas located against the walls.

You can decorate the table:

• regular, helium and paper balloons;
• garlands;
• small battery powered lights;
• dressy napkins;
• flowers.

Table lamps available atfixed-price stores, look very original and instantly give the table a festive look. Unlike candles, they do not pose a danger if they fall, that is, they will not burn through a dress or tablecloth, and, moreover, they have different modes of operation.

Balloons should be placed over the back of sofas or chairs, so they will create a fun atmosphere, but will not interfere. The “do not interfere” requirement also applies to other decorations, that is, all decor should be positioned so that it does not cause inconvenience.

Be sure to discuss two points with the administration:

• presence of a nearby serving table for gifts, bouquets and unnecessary utensils;
• Saving and taking away the birthday cake with lit candles.

Even if you start the holiday with blowing out the candles, and not end it, the help of the staff will still be required.

Cafe birthday script

Birthday celebration can be like this:

• The host - one of the guests, usually the one who organized the celebration - delivers a congratulatory speech.
• After the guests have had a drink and a snack, the first table game is held, the reward for winning which is the right to toast in honor of the birthday girl.
• As soon as each of the guests wins the right to toast and say their congratulations, you need to break for a smoke break, dancing or something else.
• When everyone is back at the table, the presenter can play the right to sing a song for the birthday girl or announce a karaoke competition. Of course, if this service is available in a cafe. If there is no karaoke in the institution or the guests do not like it, then you can play an association game or wishes, the winners will be rewarded with the right to toast.
• End the celebration by bringing out the cake and blowing out the candles, followed by a volley of firecrackers as a pleasant surprise.

As the first game at the table, you can arrange a blitz poll in which the presenter asks a question, the guest answers, and the birthday girl / k says whether what was said is true or not. Keep the questions simple, as the purpose of this activity is to spice up your birthday celebration and “create value” in toasting, not to stall the party.

Example questions:

• How old is the birthday girl/ku?
• Does the birthday girl have a hobby?
• Can the birthday girl swim?

And so on. However, you need to prepare twice as many questions as there will be at the guests' table. Despite their simplicity, someone can always answer incorrectly, respectively, this person will need to be asked again.

The game of wishes will require sheets of paper and pens. Everyone should write down one funny wish and one cool question. Questions should be placed separately from wishes. It is not necessary to prepare boxes for placing notes; you can ask the staff for a couple of different salad bowls. The essence of the game is that the birthday girl gets a question, and then a wish, which is read in context.

It looks like this:

• Question: "Do you have a refrigerator?"
• Answer: “Of course there is.”
• Wish: “May your cat live like this”, adding for context: “In the refrigerator, since it is.”

It turns out a kind of leapfrog. With a successful match of three phrases, the presenter interrupts the birthday girl / ka and says - “You need to drink for this.” That is, the matched phrases become toast.

How to celebrate at home?

Having a birthday at home can also be devoid of banality. To make the holiday original and memorable for a long time, the scenario of this whole day should consist of the following moments:

• birthday morning/ca;
• a day full of surprises;
• evening celebration;
• a gift before bed.

That is, the holiday should not be limited to the reception of guests and a feast, it should be stretched out for the whole day. The same principles should be followed when planning a children's birthday party at home.

Ideas for a homemade children's party scenario

What exactly will be a home children's holiday depends on many nuances:

• age;
• number of guests;
• flat footage.

If possible, it is better to move the children's birthday party outside the city, to the country. Of course, if there is a normal house and the summer cottage itself is not a garden with plantings, in this case it is better to leave the children in the city.

The morning of both a toddler and a teenager should begin with family greetings and a festive breakfast. Important points:

• the table should be beautiful;
• on the waychild's steps (bath, corridor, kitchen) should hang helium balloons with funny inexpensive surprises;
• breakfast should be original, for example, a smiling scrambled egg is fine.

If possible, all family members should hide. When the child sits at the table, you should go to the kitchen and sing "Happy Birthday!". You need to enter using amusing attributes - horns, caps and other things.

If the baby is fast asleep, then the child's birthday party can be started at night - decorate his room with balloons, garlands and other decor. This is a very good surprise that will make the birthday girl happy and immediately create a festive mood. But if the child’s sleep is sensitive, then you need to decorate the room during the day, sending the baby for a walk.

The celebration itself will require an adult host. You should entrust the birthday party to a woman who is familiar with all the guests and the birthday girl / comrade. Men, as a rule, feel the mood of children worse, so they are not suitable for the role of toastmaster. The mother of the culprit / ka of the celebration can also spend the holiday, but, as a rule, she has enough other worries. In addition, if another person becomes the host of the celebration, then the mother will be able to have fun with the children.

Family leisure centers that offer birthday parties in their scenarios often offer to refuse to lay the usual table. This is a very good idea, especially for young children. That is, all treats should be non-staining, not requiring dishes and cutlery, and they need to be set in the formbuffet. Of course, the presenter should help the kids.

For drinks, you can use special electric fountains, and as a treat, put mini-cakes, fruit cuts, seedless grapes, and more.

Scenario of celebration at home for a girl

Having a girl's birthday at home, for example, could be:

• The host starts the holiday: “What day do we have today?”
• Children say "Birthday!"
• Presenter: “But no, today we have jam day! Yes. Yes. Yes. And now we're all cooking. What to cook? Jam. Who knows what it takes?”
• Children respond by listing things like sugar, berries, etc.
• Presenter: “But no. We'll make jam out of cubes, papers, bows, whatever we can find. Who knows what they cook it in?”
• Children answer.
• Presenter: “Again, no. Why are you always wrong? We will cook in the fountain.”
• Some of the children will definitely ask something, in response you need to include the phrase: “… and in the fountain it will be liquid, and we will drink it, not eat it.”
• Children start putting toys in the fountain, when everything is folded, mom comes in and diverts attention. At this moment, the presenter replaces the fountain with toys with the same one, but filled with fruit drink or juice.
• Presenter: “Dear mom, we have a jam day here. Will you be our magic jam?" This phrase signals to mom that the replacement has taken place and she can go about her business.
• Presenter: “We made jam. Now let's make a birthday!"
• Children askquestions.
• Presenter: “No one knows how to make a birthday? Oh no no no. What does a birthday consist of?”
• Children answer.
• Presenter: “What good fellows. Birthday consists of fun, dancing, smiles and cake with candles. Let's start having fun.”
• We need to turn on the music, dance. Lead round dances, sing along to songs. The dance of little ducklings is well received among children.

• When the children are tired, the presenter continues: “How well we danced and laughed, but did not make a birthday. What did we miss?" We need to wait until the children remember about the cake.
• Presenter: “Oh, I forgot. Of course we need cake. Where do they get the cake, who knows?”
• Children answer.
• Presenter: “But no, they take the cake from mom. Let's call mom. Loud enough for her to hear.”
• Everyone calls for mom, then they tell her that they need a cake. Mom brings a cake, the birthday girl blows out the candles, and the host at this time hangs a garland “Happy Birthday!”. When the candles are blown out, you need to shoot a firecracker under the garland.
• Presenter: “So we made a birthday! And now we all sit down together to eat cake!”
• Together with the cake, you need to bring elegant disposable plates and spoons. While the children are eating, you should replace the fountains back. After the cake is eaten, you need to announce that the day of the jam is gone and returned all the toys.

How else can you celebrate a children's holiday?

Every major city has kids clubs. They have ready-made scenarios for holding a birthday,props, costumes and other necessary attributes. As a rule, professional animators work in such clubs and nothing is required from parents, except for one thing - to bring children.

You should use such services when you want to make the holiday unforgettable, but there is no time to prepare it or a place in the apartment. When holding a holiday in a club, you should pay attention to thematic scenarios. Surely children have something - cartoons, games or movies, the characters of which are popular with kids. For example, at one time everyone was fond of Pokemon, then - transformers. If there is a script with the participation of heroes relevant in the children's company, then you should order it.

Are there any peculiarities in holding a holiday for a man?

The script for celebrating a man's birthday is based on the same points as the rest. However, there are differences in the choice of activities for guests and the design of the holiday.

Men are receptive to the opinions of others, it is important for them what people think. Moreover, the person himself may not follow fashion or forget to cut his hair, but everything related to any celebrations should be approved by friends and just those around him. This is especially noticeable at corporate holidays, weddings and other similar events.

If a man’s birthday is celebrated at home and no guests are expected, that is, the birthday man, his wife and child or girlfriend are celebrating, then you can decorate the room in any way, from pink balloons to paper garlands withparrots.

But when celebrating in a cafe, decor and attributes should not be girlish. The best option would be decorations that showcase the birthday man's hobby or are just cool. For example, helium-filled inflatable beer mugs, tanks, ties, cars, and so on can be used as balloons.

The theme of table competitions is required to be neutral if the party is not held in any style. At a gangster birthday party, you can play "Mafia", of course, in a simplified version and include the pronunciation of toasts in the entertainment, and at a pirate birthday party you can look for treasures.

Table decoration should also be brutal. That is, flowers, paper balls and other cute little things should be replaced with a male theme. This is not very difficult to do using tank napkin holders or something similar.

Are there any peculiarities in holding a holiday for a woman?

Women are more emotional than men. Therefore, the main feature in holding a women's holiday is increased attention to the birthday girl.

If the celebration takes place at a table in a cafe, then all entertainment and competitions should be held only with her participation. Moreover, the birthday girl should have the right to decide in cases where it is necessary to choose the winner.

As for the design of a room or a table, it is important to take into account the tastes and preferences of a woman. If a man is equally delighted with cool balls, regardless of whether they are cars, penguins or revolvers, then a woman will be upset when she sees a hated variety of flowers or simple asters in the design of the tableinstead of complex floral arrangements.

The same applies to the color scheme. Every woman has not quite her favorite colors, they should be avoided. For example, if a woman does not like the color blue, but in a restaurant or in a club the tablecloths of this shade should be dispensed with.

What should not be forgotten?

Whatever holiday is held and wherever it takes place, we must not forget about the invitation of the photographer. This is a very important moment, because remembering a birthday or showing off a holiday on social networks is no less pleasant than celebrating it.

When celebrating at home, one of the guests can take over the functions of the photographer. If a children's holiday is celebrated, then this may be one of the parents of the birthday girl / ka. When celebrating in a cafe or other place, it makes sense to invite a professional photographer. This is necessary so that all the guests are in the pictures. And also for everyone to have fun without being distracted by capturing funny or beautiful moments.
