Most birthday boys and girls want to spend their birthdays by rewarding themselves for another year of hard work. This could be throwing a big birthday party with family and friends, going on a vacation trip, spending the day on pampering treatments and shopping, and many more self-gratifying ways to celebrate. And while that is all well and good, for some kind-hearted souls - what really makes their birthdays truly spectacular are some selfless acts on a day that could be all about them.
Get Involved with a Foundation
Several foundations provide shelter to the less fortunate or those in need of assistance. Nearly all foundations have hard-working people that believe in trying to make the world a better place. Choose one which has a special place in your heart. While you can bring the food and fun to them, you can actually make the birthday celebration more exciting by inviting the people from your chosen foundation to see a new place - your very own choice of Melbourne birthday venue. For practical and security reasons, you should probably choose a birthday venue that meets the foundation's standards/guidelines (and they may be quite willing to help out!). In many cases it also helps to be located near the foundation. Use myBirthdayVenue.com to make your search easier. While this might appear selfless, you might be touched by the awe in your guest's faces as they arrive.
Reward Your People
This is very much applicable to birthday celebrants who hold a managerial or executive position in a company. Your success in your career or own business would not have been realized without these people who helped you achieve it. While you can always give them bonuses and Christmas gift baskets, but it would be more personal to give them the gift of your time - especially on your birthday. Instead of them surprising you, do the other way around by holding a surprise birthday party just for them. An office location would do as a party venue if you want your surprise to be boring and short-lived, or you can find and book an interesting restaurant or bar (even without your assistant's help), here at myBirthdayVenue.com.
Fundraising Party
With the series of calamities that have come our way, what else could make a birthday celebration more significant than using it to build awareness among people? Of course, you don't want to be all boring and sentimental on your birthday, but whoever said it could never be fun? You can still have your dine, drink and dance party but this time, let your guests know that it's for a cause. You can ask each one to bring something to donate - food, clothes, money or anything that may help to serve as their pass to the party. You can also print out birthday tickets where the proceeds will be given to beneficiary group. With the right choice of Melbourne party venue and your selfless mindset, you sure can make a fundraising birthday party totally fun yet even more meaningful.
Make your birthday celebration different by making a difference to the lives of other people.
