BIRTHDAY PARTIES

Everyone likes being at a birthday party. There you can eat, drink and meet friends. What else is needed to have fun? These celebrations are made in order to express the birthday boy or girl your gratitude for having them as friends. During these parties many activities are done: playing cards, listening to music, dancing, taking photos… However, what I like more than being to birthday parties is preparing surprise birthday parties. Surprising a friend with a party is one of the most satisfactory feelings. However, it is a tough work most of the time although at the end it is great for everyone.

When saying tough work I mean that it is often difficult to coordinate all the variation in order to develop the party. For instance, you need to ask to the birthday boy’s parents to acknowledge if they intended to prepare something. Then you will need to talk to many friends of him willing to come to the party. Then you need to think about place and time: choosing a day that is convenient for most people. After that, you will need to calculate your budget: you will need much money. Birthday parties are not cheap since it is necessary to buy the food, the drinks, some decoration and the present. Furthermore, choosing and buying the present is one of the hardest things. You will not stop thinking on what to buy him as you finally decide it. Then, some of his friends will tell you that he will not like this or that and throw your ideas to the floor.

Once you have done all the preparation for the party, the day comes. You actually need a pretext to make the birthday boy come to the place without feeling anything strange about your behaviour. For instance, in most surprise birthday parties someone talks too much and the birthday boy starts suspecting on something happening strange. Finally, when he enters the room and everyone screams out loud “SURPRISE”, you know all your work has already been done. Then you can relax and start having fun as the other people do. When it is time to the present to be given to him you will feel nervous again. For example, on my last surprise birthday party I was given a suit I loved from Zara that was blue and beautiful. I had been thinking on a suit for the graduation of last year’s course and I decided to buy a new blue one. So my friends surprised me with that beautiful suit that I loved. What usually happens is that they like the presents and so they show thankful for preparing the party.

Overall, surprising birthday parties are a good time to spend with friends although they are sometimes difficult to prepare. The making of it is hard and there are plenty of things to do and to buy. However, once you prepare everything and the party starts you have fun anyway. In addition, if you were one of the ones that prepared the party you will feel very satisfied.
