How to celebrate a birthday on the river

Celebrating a birthday in nature next to a river is a great way to celebrate an important day in an atmosphere of comfort, fresh air and the beauty of nature. This idea will give a mood of celebration, freedom and joy to all guests, as well as avoid the hustle and bustle of urban cafes and restaurants.

The first thing to think about when choosing a place by the river is convenience and safety. It is better to come there in advance to find a convenient picnic spot, which can be equipped with sun loungers, blankets and tents from the sun. If the place is often visited by other vacationers, it is better to have something with you to protect the space - light umbrellas or hang bright ribbons. This will create a festive atmosphere and will allow you not to lose your guests in the crowd of visitors.

The next important aspect is food and drinks. It is optimal to prepare a menu of light dishes that are easy to transport and that are delicious outdoors: fresh vegetables and fruits, sandwiches, salads, kebabs or grilled. You can prepare marinades for meat in advance so that you can quickly build a fire in the morning and start cooking. In reserve, it is better to take water, juices, and for adults — a small amount of wine, beer, or other beverages. Do not forget about the sweet table: A candle-lit cake in nature looks especially beautiful and adds solemnity.

Entertainment is an obligatory element of a holiday in nature. You can bring balls, frisbees, inflatable circles for the river, if the weather permits. Simple board games or small outdoor quests are suitable for children. In the evening, when it gets dark, a quiet conversation around the campfire, guitar, songs and, of course, roast marshmallows will do. If the guests are energetic, organize a small sports relay race or a competition for the best knowledge of nature and river inhabitants.

It is also important to remember about hygiene and comfort: the presence of garbage bags, wet wipes and sunscreens will greatly simplify your rest. You can take chairs so that you don't have to sit on the ground all the time, and if possible, arrange a small canopy from the rain or the scorching sun.

To sum up, celebrating a birthday in nature by the river is a great way to have fun, in unity with nature and friends. Such a holiday will be remembered for a long time as a joyful and unique experience that will unite all the guests and create a special atmosphere of warmth and friendship.
