How Do You Keep Celebrating All Year Long?
How do you and your girlfriends keep celebrating all year long you ask? Simple!
Start a Birthday Club.
Creating a Birthday Club is a great chance to connect or reconnect with friends and acquaintances on a monthly basis. Who doesn’t love the excitement of a good party not to mention all that delicious food? Starting a Birthday Club is easier than you think. You just need a set of instructions and women to be members. Are you ready to start?
INSTRUCTIONS
1.Invite women to join your Birthday Club. You will need 12 members total, including yourself. Members represent their birthday month. If you have duplicate months, (2 friends with birthdays in July) choose either the month prior to or after (June or August). Speak with friends and acquaintances about your new club. Host a onetime planning meeting in December inviting potential members to learn more and schedule Birthday Parties!
2.Collect birthday and contact information from those members who decide to join at your planning meeting.
3.Nominate a “point person” to be in charge of the information, to keep it updated and current along with notifying members about upcoming birthday parties. This person should call and/or email members 4 days before each party.
4.Nominate a “cake person” to be in charge of supplying the birthday girl with her favorite cake or dessert. As a group, decide what this looks like to keep a uniform price for each member.
5.Knowing where and what type of cake to purchase gives an idea what the Birthday Club dues should be. Collect dues from each member at your planning meeting for January’s birthday. This money goes to the “cake person” for purchases. At January’s party, you will collect for February’s and so it follows for the rest of the year.
6.Establish standard gift giving practices for your monthly party. Set a minimum and maximum dollar amount for gifts. Alternatively, make a rule no gifts other than hand written notes or cards.
7.Meet once each month keeping the day and time consistent. As a group, decide what that looks like. Some groups might like to meet during the day and others might prefer evenings. Also, decide the length of each meeting, so everyone can plan accordingly.
8.Have calendars and pens for each member. Plan your calendars for 2012. Put birthday girls name and time on corresponding dates each month. Make sure each member has the correct information for the upcoming year.
9.As the organizer, you will host the first party at your home in January. Then January’s birthday girl will host February’s party, continuing rotating through each member. This ensures the work is spread evenly among all the members.
10.Enjoy connecting, sharing, and celebrating each month!
Follow these 10 easy steps and your Birthday Club will be a huge success. Instead of being reminded about aging, the Birthday Club puts the fun and joy back into birthdays by changing the meaning. All the best, Michelle
