Birthday Ideas for the Long Distance Reunion

One of the most heart-melting, happiest surprises for those who enjoy them – is to re-unite with someone you’ve missed and haven’t seen in person for a long time.

Not to mention, it’s a thrilling endeavour for the person travelling to meet them!

Please be aware that what’s a pleasant surprise for you may be overwhelming for others – so it’s important to only involve unexpected guests if you know the birthday person would be happy.

Without further ado, here’s some creative ways you can pull it off.

Takeaway with a Twist

  1. Have a housemate suggest a pizza – or their favourite dish – and offer to order online for a birthday treat.
  2. Instead of ordering to the house, order the dish for pickup – and add a little extra food for the unexpected guest(s).
  3. Have the guests pick up the meal and then get a taxi or drive to their house.
  4. Then voila, your order has arrived… but delivered by some very special guests!

Note: for this to run smoothly, make sure that the person is not likely to insist on ordering themselves. If this happens, you can still have the people show up a little before the actual delivery.

For Special Outings

This works well with a pre-planned birthday treat requiring seats in a crowded place.

For example, a football, tennis or any big sports matches – as well as musicals, concerts and theatre performances.

Book seats next to the people they’re reuniting with. Have them arrive a little earlier so they’re not spotted.

Then, as they’re escorted to their seats, they’ll realise the silhouettes seated on that row are a little more familiar than expected…

You can also make this work with a cinema trip for a budget-friendly but still exciting treat.

Join their Daily Exercise Routine

This is the most causal, low-key reunion idea for those who enjoy exercise and don’t deviate much from their routine.

Simply choose an activity they’d naturally do with a friend or family member to chaperone.

They frequently go swimming? Have the guest(s) happen to show up at the pool at the exact same time – on a day near to their birthday.

That casual football match with friends? Have them show up at the court or field!
