What are some ways to make your partner’s birthday extra special?

Cupid’s Advice:

Though Valentine’s Day and anniversary celebrations are special, they’re focused on your relationship and not specifically on your partner. Here are a few ways to make your partner’s birthday memorable:

1. Consider your partner’s likes: Plan a celebration that your partner will enjoy. If your partner is laid-back and outdoorsy,  disregard any notions of an elegant, classy party. Your partner will appreciate the thought that you put into the event.

2. Invite old friends: If you host a party for your partner, invite friends that they haven’t seen in a while. Buddies from college or childhood pals can really make the day one to remember.

3. End the day together: After the birthday festivities end, don’t immediately start cleaning up. Instead, take your partner out for a relaxing dinner. After talking and laughing with so many people, your mate will enjoy the casual time with only the two of you.
