So you are hitting that terrific milestone 18's, 21's, 30’s, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's time zone.
You would agree that turning any of these ages is a big deal. Whether you're planning one of these birthday parties for yourself or for someone else, consider planning a destination birthday!
Consider places that you or the guest of honor has always wanted to go.
Popular destinations include the beaches where you want to feel the white sand of the beaches between your toes or the rush of the sea beating against you on a ship cruise. Or, maybe exploring options for all-inclusive vacation ranging from tropical resorts to fast-paced sightseeing tours to activity-based trips like hiking adventures.
One thing to keep in mind with a destination party is that the number of guests in attendance will most probably be smaller and more intimate than if you hosted a party at home.
However, think of the memories you'll have with this intimate group of family and friends. Since a much smaller number of people will be attending your destination birthday/vacation, decide how you want to handle the expenses.
We have different recommendations that we can work out with you, ensuring that you get the best for all. If you're in a position to pay for everyone, that's wonderful. In some cases, our clients will pay for the accommodation while their guests pay for their own travel or vice versa.
However, you decide to divvy up the costs, we always would make sure everyone is on the same page to eliminate confusion later on.
So now that you've decided to have a destination party, you're probably eager to book the transportation and start planning. However, keep in mind that you will want to consider your destination and the time of year you plan to go away. Will you be going to the destination on- or off-season? What will the weather be like?
We would want to know if you're flexible enough to consider deciding to celebrate your special NUMBER destination birthday two months after the big day to avoid high season costs.
Imagine a five-day beach party with a different theme every night, and the week culminating with some fireworks display and five-tier beach style birthday cake. Or an intimate gathering of three couples, touring the beautiful Cape wine coast or even California wine country, then landing in a private tasting room with a multicourse pairing meal that finishes with a Dom Pérignon toast to your silver wedding anniversary.
An “ends in 0” birthday or special wedding anniversary is the perfect excuse to combine a big party with a medium-size get-away.
Compared to a local, one-night celebration, a destination party allows for more social and celebratory time with your chosen guests.
While destination weddings have been the hot trend for a decade, boomers are jumping on the bandwagon and celebrating milestone birthdays or anniversaries in exotic locales. Whether you’re turning 60 with a view of Robben Island, the Eiffel Tower or reuniting with a dozen college friends at a villa in Dubai or Tuscany, a party like this is a way to honor the occasion, make it truly memorable and maybe even cross an item off your travel bucket list.
If you love the idea but all the planning terrifies you, fear not.
dESTINATION eVENTS has a unique planning team, where private elegant destination parties, in exotic locations are planned. However, the major difference to our planning is that we plan your special event party to be a destination venue, and not at your traditional usual venue.
It would still be a fancy version of a simple “party”, but an event that is stretched over 3 - 7 days in a splendid private environment, with our package being taking you to a cozy, private and whoop fun destination venue, such as a beachside location.
Armed with us as your destination event planners you can pull off the party of your dreams.
We are here to assist you every step of the way, ensuring that your guests do go back home fully satisfied.
