- Movies: One of the most pleasant ideas is to gather your closest friends, rent out a small movie theatre room and play a movie that you and your friends love best. Surround yourself with delicious sweet snacks and have lots of relaxed fun. For this occasion you might want to wear something comfortable and soft enough to lounge in the movie seats, so we suggest a soft long dress of some sort.
- Bowling for kids: Kids love to be active it’s no secret, one of the most competitive yet safe activities to do on a birthday party is kids bowling. Gather a large group of your classmates and friends and enjoy some time eating pizza and burgers at the kids bowling alley. As this is a more competitive and active venue for a birthday, you need to choose your outfit strategically not to compromise your victorious status at the end of the night. We suggest you wear flat comfortable shoes with tight fastenings – like sneakers. To match that, yet still maintain a dressed up look we propose a pair of overalls ($39.99), or a pair of trousers with a very bold top. A style tip for wearing active clothes and making them still scream “Im the brithday girl” is to opt in for clothing with bright colors, vivid prints, or clothing tops with three dimentional design elements – like ruffles for example.
- Dinner party: A classic way to celebrate your birthday is to host a close circle friends and family dinner party. There will be lots of delicious foods, lots of toasting to the beautiful birthday girl and perhaps even some dancing or party games. But most importantly this type of celebration permits a full blown dressed up birthday girl outfit. You can really go all out and feel like the most special princess in the room. We suggest to go for a fluffy tool dress ($16.99) in a color of your choice. Pair it with a stricking ballet flat shoe and you will leave everyone admiring how absolutely sweet the birthday girl looks on her special day.

Some might even involve a magician showing up and shocking all the guests. For this occasion we suggest to wear something which will be equally as enchanting, something with a bit of edge and mystery to it, in an effort to steal the show of course. Possibly you would want to opt into something sparkly, or something in dark navy tones, ($15.99) certainly a dress, and certainly with black laquer flats ($13.99).
- Arts and Crafts birthday: If you are the one who always has a couple of crayons laying around, and your parents belive you will grow up to be the next Picasso, then spending the day dedicated solely for that passion of yours is a trully wonderful option. Ofcourse you will have to remember that you might dirty your outfit, which is why we suggest a statement pair of pants ($15.99), a white longsleeve shirt/turtle neck ($15.47) and an arts t-shirt combination which will make you stand out as the creative star you are, whilst leaving you paint protected.
