How to use the August birthday ideas

  1. 1

    Spin, then ask guests early about vacations. August is the month with the most travel, so the date matters more than the idea.

    Book glamping and rafting trips well in advance, as late-summer weekends sell out.

  3. 3

    Avoid the hottest part of the day for outdoor games and keep a cooler of cold drinks and snacks ready.

Ways to use this wheel

  • Luau for any age: ask guests to wear bright shirts, serve fruit skewers and play a limbo contest.
  • Back-to-school send-off: make the birthday a last summer party for friends before the school year starts.

August birthday ideas for the last stretch of summer

August is for making the most of the final weeks before school starts. The wheel suggests beach sunset volleyball, a glamping cabin weekend, a tiki luau in the backyard or a go-kart grand prix. Spin and enjoy something that feels like a send-off to summer.

August has several birthstones, including peridot, spinel and sardonyx, and its flowers are the gladiolus and the poppy. A green peridot theme is an easy way to decorate.

Planning notes

August birthdays are Leo until about the 22nd and Virgo after that. Families may be on vacation, and back-to-school shopping begins, so invite people a few weeks ahead. Heat can be intense, so schedule outdoor activities for the evening.
