If you’re a November baby, you may have felt overshadowed by Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving holidays.
If so, don’t worry – I’ve got some cool November birthday ideas for adults that’ll spice up your special day!
These November birthday ideas for adults will trump all those fall festivities.
Before diving into today’s post, here are a few things to consider before choosing your birthday idea for November.
Tip 1: Plan your birthday idea early.
People may already have plans to celebrate the fall holidays or plan a vacation during the month.
If you want to throw a Birthday party, plan an intimate celebration.
That way, you won’t feel disappointed if many people can’t make it to your birthday bash.
Tip 2: Incorporate one element of the holiday/seasonal spirit.
When people come to your birthday celebration, they are already in a holiday mood.
Take one aspect of the fall holidays you enjoy and work it into your birthday festivities! Your guest will love it.
Instead of using traditional flavors like vanilla or chocolate, you can have one of your birthday cake layers of spice or carrot.
Tip 3: Check the weather!
November can be a chilly month in some parts of the world. Make sure you consider the temperature when planning your birthday party.
Now that I shared a few tips, let’s get into some fun November birthday ideas for adults!
