by Audrey P. Writer

The current Covid-19 situation has disrupted everyone’s daily lives. We need to undertake certain steps in order to sustainably flatten the curve. Some of the steps include having proper hygiene, practice social distancing and most importantly staying at home.

Hence, during this lock-down, almost all activities are constrained at home, such as work, exercise, family and social activities. With such changes in lifestyle, every family member has a part play in ensuring there is harmony, peace and most importantly family bonding at home.

Family celebrations, such as birthday celebrations is one important family event that should not be missed, especially during current time, when sending positive vibes is important. For example, if you have a son who is turning eighteen, be sure to plan a cosy birthday party for him, in the comfort of home. A guy turning 18 is of great significance in his life as he is embarking into adulthood. Family planning a birthday party for him is a fantastic way to show their care and concern for him, celebrating his journey to adulthood.

There are a few preparations works that the family must do. Firstly, with the teenage boy’s likes, hobbies in mind, the family members can surf the website to get some 18^th birthday party ideas and finalize on the theme. With the theme finalized, they can start preparing the party decorations. With more time on hand now at home, instead of buying the party decorations online, the family can consider turning this into a family activity, unleashing their creativity and do up the decorations themselves.

The next important preparation work is the food and beverage. The family can cook a feast of his favorite snacks and dishes and prepare drinks and mock-tails for this happy occasion. The family can even have another family activity – baking the birthday cake. A handmade birthday cake will make this celebration more unique.

To make this party livelier and more eventful, the family should plan a few games and activities. They should also consider inviting some close extended family members and his friends to have virtual party where they can join in some of the game and activities.

With the above preparation, the family and 18-year-old birthday boy are sure to have lots of fun and laughter, making it a delightful celebration. Who says birthday celebration at home during pandemic situation cannot be just as fun as the usual birthday celebration?
