There is something inherently special about birthdays. They make us emotional. They make us happy. They make us feel valued. They always bring memories from our childhood, when our parents did everything they could to make us happy on this particular day. They remind us of our teenage days when even the most unacceptable of our demands were met without any resistance. They were the days when our requests were kept without any questions being asked. Even now, when we are grown up, our birthdays are the only occasions that break the monotony of our daily lives and add a breath of fresh air to them. It also religiously reminds us every year that, ultimately, we are growing old. Whatever it is, there is no denying the fact that this annual one-day event makes us happier than all other days of the year and we want to share our happiness with our family, friends and colleagues. But the biggest challenge we all face about birthday celebrations is related to choosing the venue for the occasion.
Birthday parties are not as traditionally grand as weddings nor are they as unceremoniously small as kitty parties. And considering that living in urban India, most of us don’t have enough space in our flats to host and party with thirty to fifty people, venues play an important role in celebrations of personal occasions. In this article, we have listed a few venues in Bangalore including, farmhouses, party halls, hotel banquet halls and resorts that are excellent for organizing special celebrations like birthdays. These places have a reputation for hosting great events and are known for their excellent services, set-up and convenience. So, go through this article to plan and celebrate your birthday party with your near and dear ones.
