How can you celebrate your birthday properly in the office?

Your own birthday is definitely worth celebrating. At least once a year, we should take care of ourselves and enjoy the good things in life. Of course, this includes sharing the joy. And there's no better way to do that than with a nice birthday party. You can also come up with something special for your colleagues in the office. Below we have put together the best tips to make your office birthday party stand out.

Cake is the classic. But not everyone loves it sweet. Instead, it can also be a beautifully decorated fruit platter. Depending on the season, this can be exotic or local fruit, with a melon or pineapple as the central eye-catcher. But a quiche can also replace the sweet temptations. Whether classic with sour cream and bacon, or a little more modern with nutmeg and spinach, it still offers the feeling of a cake alongside the savory taste. If you like it particularly unusual, you can print on parchment paper and wrap the portions in it so that they will be remembered by colleagues for a particularly long time.

Everyone usually enjoys a drink, whether alcoholic or not. Wine and sparkling wine are of course less recommended for the morning hours; instead, you can have a few mixed juices or a fruit cocktail without alcohol. In winter, of course, tea and coffee are of course ideal. However, if you tend to celebrate your birthday in the evening, you can also open a bottle of wine in the office. A fine drop of wine is recommended here rather than large quantities of cheap alternatives. Sparkling wine makes the whole affair particularly festive, of course. And to round off the evening, a schnapps is certainly welcome as a little energy booster.

At a birthday party, you can also decorate the room a little. Candles and a few nice napkins immediately create a completely different atmosphere. You shouldn't go overboard with the decorations. But it can be a little unusual for the occasion. A personal dedication emphasizes the connection to the invitee. A few bars of music are also not out of place. Incidentally, an office party should generally last no more than 30 minutes. If the mood allows, you can go on.
