Keeping Up with Summer Birthdays: A Guide

The summer is arguably the best time of the year. During the summer, it is hard not to feel freer. The days are longer, and the weather is milder, opening up the realm of possibilities. It is for those reasons that summer birthdays tend to be more coveted. If you have a lot of birthdays coming up this summer, read on for all the tips you need to help you keep up.

Scheduling

It is really easy to lose track of the days in the summer. The best thing that you can do is to add everyone’s birthday into your calendar now so that you don’t forget any. As well as giving you reminders, online calendars like google calendar also gives users the option to sync up their calendars with that of other users too. It will also help to serve as a reminder should you need to book any time off work for them too.

Parties

Summer birthdays often mean one of two things: the pub or a garden party. Either way, it is safe to assume that alcohol and the sun will be involved. Make sure that you have thought about this and taken the necessary steps to protect your skin from the sun. Remember to apply sun cream regularly and use sunglasses to protect your eyes too.

You should also do your best to drink responsibly. It is very easy to get carried away when drinking during the summer because the body dehydrates more quickly, meaning that you often end up consuming the alcohol at a higher rate. Take your time and remember to drink enough water too. Don’t forget to work out how you are going to get home after the party. If you are the designated driver, then you need to make sure that all of your friends get home safe. Never ever drink and drive. There is simply no excuse – get a taxi or stay with a friend.

Presents

It is considered bad form to show up to a part without a gift. So the question is, what do you get them? Obviously, you will know the recipient the best and therefore can make the best decision on what to gift them with for their birthday. However, if you’ve been invited to a part for someone you don’t know super well, or you want to send a gift in your stead, then letterbox gifts or gift boxes are a great choice. They are easily deliverable, customisable and thoughtful.

Summary

Summer parties are the best; everyone wants a summer birthday, but keeping up with all of them can be a little tricky. Use the above tips to help you when it comes to organising your summer birthday obligations. Remember to put them in your calendar to help you to keep track. Don’t forget to show your friends and family that you care with a gift, whether you can make their party or not. Lastly, remember to act responsibly when it comes to consuming alcohol and sun exposure to keep yourself safe.
