Birthday … Some are waiting for it with a sinking heart, dreaming of gifts, others are preparing for a magnificent celebration in a few months, and still others, sighing philosophically, prefers not to celebrate it at all. Birthday expenses are indispensable. But what if he took you by surprise financially, and you are, to put it mildly, broke, and you still don't want to ignore the entry into the new year of your life? It is quite possible to celebrate a birthday without money.
It is necessary
a pen; paper; disks, magazines, icons, calendars you no longer need; red clown nose; computer with skype
Instructions
Step 1
Take a pen, a piece of paper, and make a list of those whom you would like to see on your birthday, and who will have to be told that you will not celebrate it. In advance, write letters to the lucky ones included in the invite list or leave messages in which you indicate that instead of gifts, each of the guests can come with their own treats and drinks.
Step 2
Think about the scenario for your holiday. One of the ideas is an outdoor event, in case of good weather, with funny and simple contests, where as souvenirs you will give out to your guests everything that is in your house: disks, calendars, badges, read magazines, and any other simple, but cute nonsense, which is clearly useful to someone. If the weather lets you down, set up a smart casino at home, having prepared a top and a list of interesting questions. The prizes for the guests will be books from your library. True friends who really love you will enthusiastically support all your ideas, or even come with their own thoughts - and the holiday will be a success!
Step 3
Don't be discouraged if the muse does not visit you at all, and your list of friends consists only of you and your cat. A birthday without money, alone is a wonderful and necessary experience. And yet - you can bring joy to yourself and to someone else. For example, go to the nearest playground dressed up as a clown and announce to the kids that the clown has a birthday today! The parents of the children will be grateful to you for the opportunity to take a couple of hours to rest from their children, chatting nicely among themselves at a distance. And your new little friends will sing to you, and dance, and recite poems, and you will remember this holiday forever. And in the evening, after returning home, play your favorite music or watch your favorite movie.
Step 4
Have a virtual birthday. In the evening, dress smartly and go to Skype or a social network, and then start celebrating - your close and distant friends will vying with each other to congratulate you, and virtual wishes, toasts, gifts and kisses warm your heart and give you a good mood no worse than real ones!
Step 5
Smile and breathe a sigh of relief if the question of how to celebrate a birthday without money is completely irrelevant for you. And go back to step 1 - take a pen, a piece of paper, and make a list of those you would like to see on your birthday.
