13 Festive February Birthday Ideas To Capture The Season (2024)

Need a few February birthday ideas to make this birthday your best yet? We’re glad to hear it since that’s exactly what we at Peerspace share with you ahead! As the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals, we strive to connect you with hidden gem venues in cities across the globe that enhance your special days. And yes, this includes birthday-perfect party venues!

Depending on where you live, February might be one of the dreariest months of the year. For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s still winter, but without all the festive fun of the December holidays to brighten things up and make the frigid, gray weather more bearable.

But whether you’re an Aquarius (born before February 19th) or a Pisces (born from the 19th on), we’ve got some February birthday ideas that will brighten up your celebration and ensure that your birthday is a stunning success! Just keep reading for our 13 favorite festive February birthday ideas and suitable Peerspace venues to bring them to life.

1. Valentine’s Day-themed birthday party

Here’s an easy one! If you’ve got a romantic streak, a Valentine’s Day-themed birthday party is one of our favorite February birthday ideas by far. After all, Valentine’s Day falls during this month and it’s an easy and fun theme to execute. Use a pink and red color scheme, and lots of heart-shaped decor, provide your guests with plenty of chocolate and candy, and you’re well on your way to a successful party.

Plus, if you want to ensure your gathering is extra special, renting a lovely venue for a few hours is a great way to accomplish that. We’d recommend booking a space like this sweet and chic event space in East Austin. It’s a 1,400-square-foot bright white venue with a pink room, a minimalist boho room, and a furnished outdoor patio. Ask the host about the Valentine’s decor featured in the photo above and add on the champagne wall to complete your birthday Valentine’s fest!

2. Galentine’s Day party

Perhaps you’re not very into Valentine’s Day, but you love Galentine’s Day! If you haven’t heard of it, Galentine’s Day is a celebration of female friendships that was popularized by the show Parks and Recreation.

Cosmopolitan has a great explanation of what the holiday is all about. Even though your birthday is all about you, why not celebrate the friendships you love and value and make it about the people you love, too?!

Rent this multi-room femme fatale-vibe studio in the Bronx, NYC to enhance your Galentine’s Day. It has a full kitchen and plenty of fun photography props to commemorate the day. It’s also a moody space dedicated to the bad girls of history. And what gal wouldn’t love to make their own mark on such a venue?!

3. For those in the Southern Hemisphere: an end-of-summer party

We’re based in the Northern Hemisphere, so we think of February as a winter month, but for those of you located in the Southern Hemisphere February is actually the last month of summer! So an end-of-summer birthday party in February makes total sense.

Our New South Wales friends can even rent a pool party venue on Peerspace, like this grand Mediterranean home in Rose Bay. It is a chic, minimalist home that boasts Carrara marble and terrazzo flooring throughout, high ceilings, a full kitchen, and stylish decor. And of course, that pool!

4. Get mystical with an astrology birthday party

As we mentioned in the intro to this post, if you were born in February, you probably know that you’re either an Aquarius or a Pisces. If you’re a fan of astrology, you can use your astrological sign as the theme for your party!

To get you started, here are some Aquarius-themed party decorations and Pisces-themed ones. From banners to balloons to cake toppers, all are available to purchase on Etsy. 

Want a ready-made space that can host your party with minimal decoration on your part? Then you need to see Jupiter House, a 1,300-square-foot event space in Brooklyn, NYC. It is a one-of-a-kind space with rich blue hues, vibrant plant life, and an astrological clock to keep your birthday party on theme.

5. Plan a scavenger hunt and go exploring

By February, perhaps it’s been a while since you’ve been able to get out and do something a little more active and physically engaging. If that’s the case, a scavenger hunt is a super fun way to get you and your friends off the couch and onto the street in a competitive manner.

To save you the effort of planning it yourself, there are lots of companies that will plan a scavenger hunt for you if you’re located in a city. City Hunt plans “birthday scavenger hunts in just about every city in the U.S.,” so they’re a great place to start.

6. Warm up with a dance party

Another way to get yourself energized and let out some of that pent-up energy is by hosting a dance party. All you really need is a speaker, a playlist of your favorite songs, and a space that’s big enough for you and your friends to dance in. That last part is something we at Peerspace can help with once again!

Use our platform to find a spacious and well-equipped dance studio rental near you. We love this Irving Park dance studio and event space in Chicago, as an example. It boasts a large dance floor, party lighting, tables and chairs, and a killer sound system.

The addition of some delicious food and drinks and some of the helpful add-on services offered by the host will take this February birthday idea to the next level.

7. Take a vacation somewhere warm

Sick of the winter chill? Need to warm up and spend some time in the sun? Use your birthday as an excuse to travel somewhere a little warmer! If you’re not sure where to begin, check out the Active Times’ list of 30 insanely affordable warm-weather winter destinations.

8. Embrace the cold with winter sports

On the other hand, you might be someone who actually loves the cold and finds it invigorating and refreshing. If so, consider taking a day or overnight trip to go skiing, try ice skating, play hockey, or enjoy some other winter sports.

For instance, our friends in the New York City area can book this ice skating rink and Swiss chalet restaurant in Brooklyn. Along with a 2,500-square-foot rink and adjoining restaurant, the venue provides outdoor seating and plenty of hot drinks to fuel your skating ambitions.

If you’d like to try something a little more unexpected, here are 15 winter sports to try that aren’t skiing, from snowshoeing to dog sledding.

9. Host a tasty potluck birthday party

One of the best things about winter is how many opportunities it provides to warm up with some delicious, hearty meals and snacks. We’re thinking soups and casseroles to hot chocolate and baked goods fresh out of the oven.

Start this party out right by booking a well-equipped and stylish kitchen rental venue through Peerspace! Our platform connects you with spacious kitchens in lofts, penthouses, mansions, and other party-perfect spaces. That way, you get a unique, fun setting and all of the kitchen space you need.

Peerspace users in the San Francisco area can book this beautiful and spacious Queen Victorian home with a stunning chef’s kitchen. Aside from its modern kitchen space, you and your guests can also sit down to your dishes in the large dining room.

If you and your friends are a bunch of foodies, hosting a potluck is an awesome, seasonally appropriate way to celebrate your birthday. Plus, it’ll save you the effort of preparing all the food for your party yourself or even having to hire a caterer.

Our incredible winter birthday party ideas will keep you warm all season long!

10. Give a creative gift for your February birthday person

Maybe you’re reading this post because you’re looking for birthday ideas for a friend or loved one rather than planning your own birthday celebrations. If so, you’re probably looking for a birthday gift, as well.

We know you want to buy a gift that’ll be memorable and unexpected. Uncommon Goods has you covered with their suggested gifts for February birthdays, so be sure to give their offerings a look.

11. Rent a movie theater for a private film screening

Some of our top February birthday ideas are those that allow you to get cozy and stay inside. You can host it in the comfort of your own home or get fancy and rent a real movie theater for a few hours through Peerspace, like this plush theater room in Bellevue, WA.

Besides a venue rental, you need a few movie ideas to screen. Check out these movies released in February 2023 for some suggestions. Either way, a film screening with all your favorite movies and best buds (not to mention plenty of popcorn and candy) is an amazing way to celebrate!

12. Enjoy a decadent wine-tasting party

One of our top February birthday ideas to chase away those mid-winter blues is getting together with your closest friends for a wine-tasting birthday party.

If you’d like to take your gathering to the next level, we’d recommend renting out a thematically relevant space for a few hours, like this downtown wine bar and lounge with a minimalist design in Oakland, CA! They can even make your party planning process easier by providing you with a wine expert who will lead the pouring during the wine tasting.

13. Combine your birthday with National Pizza Day for a winning birthday party theme

Did you know that February 9th is National Pizza Day? And while your birthday may not fall on the 9th, there’s no reason why your birthday can’t celebrate the fact that it shares a month with this most important of holidays!

So serve up a variety of slices from your favorite local pizza or restaurant or bake your own, which is especially easy to do when you book a Peerspace venue with its own pizza oven, like the one at this Midtown bungalow in Atlanta, GA. Bake traditional pizzas or get creative and bake pizza birthday cake, chocolate chip cookie pizza, and more. Your guests will definitely thank you for embracing this inspired idea!
