Office Birthdays can be celebrated quietly with a birthday cake, candles and, of course, the chorus of “Happy Birthday” to blow out your candles and make your special wishes. But if you really want to have a fun office birthday party, let’s take a twist and have an office roast, which would certainly bring lots of laughs to the event.
We must first make sure that the birthday guest has a sense of humor. Invite as many attendees as your can, the more the merrier. We can then move on with choosing our panel, combining a mix of co-workers and supervisors. Take a head-shot of each panelist and attach it to the table in front of them. We ask those on the panel to think of any unusual things they remember about our birthday star. The panel should also pick topics that include the honoree’s interests and hobbies along with any funny situations you remember or can make up. Let’s try and make sure that no comments are hurtful, and all are in good fun. We are ready now, let the fun begin!
Bring in the guest of honor and see the look on their face when they realize what is ahead of them. One by one the panelists have their day telling jokes and roasting the honoree. When the laughs have subsided and the birthday guest of honor has said their piece (got even), bring in that candle lit cake and celebrate!
