Should I Have my Birthday at Home, at a Function Centre, or Out & About

Well, what do you prefer?

Here is a quick and easy way to figure out what you should do:

If you are more of a chiller, then a party at home is the go – its less messing around to organize and you will be in a comfortable environment with your friends. If you prefer to take it easy and don’t like to make a big deal of things, this is the go for you.

However, remember that if you have the party at your house you may need help, depending on who you invite and how many guests you have – if you are having a lot of guests or you don’t trust your mates to be sensible, then a party at home won’t work – play it safe!

If you want to create in impression, a memory for your friends that will last a lifetime, then a party at a function centre is the go. Don’t think it’s out of your price range – if you have  a large group it can actually be cheaper than having it at your house if you need external catering, cleaning & entertainment. On the other side, if you have some good dollars to throw at a big celebration like a 21^st or 40^th, this is a really great way to mark the occasion in a classy way that everyone will remember for years to come. Shop around – there are lots of people who want your business – go for the people you trust to make the night special!

On the other hand, if you have flaky friends, a function is a bad idea – there is nothing worse than going to all the trouble of organizing a party and then your crew doesn’t roll up – so if you are nervous about this, a private function is not the best option for you.

If you like to wing it and get amongst it then a pub crawl or club tour is what you are looking for – if you have a small group of close friends that you love partying with or  a large group but a strict budget, this can be the best option for you. A tour or crawl allows you to satisfy the needs of a diverse range of friends by visiting a number of places on the one night, and if you shop around many clubs and pubs will offer you a good deal to bring your friends in, especially if your group is large.

However, if you want to have everyone you love and cherish around you for the whole night or you are very particular about how you want your party to turn out then this in not the option for you. Pub Crawls and Club Tours are by their nature unpredictable – this is what makes them fun – so if this isn’t your idea of fun, cross this one off your list.
