Plan a birthday trip where the birthday actually gets planned
A birthday trip has one day that matters more than the others, and it is usually the day that gets the least planning, because everyone assumes someone else has booked something.
Holiday Board makes that day visible from the moment the trip is created.
The big day is a day, not a vibe
Put the dinner in with its time, its leave time, the reservation name and the booking reference in the notes. Mark it booked. Everyone can see it is genuinely handled.
Add the bits either side too: pre-drinks at the villa, the taxi, where you are going after.
Outfits for the night everyone cares about
One outfit per person per plan, visible to the group. It is worth doing for the main night alone.
Splitting a bill the birthday person should not pay
Use custom amounts to split a dinner between everyone except the person whose birthday it is. That is exactly what custom splits are for, and it means nobody has to do it awkwardly at the table.
Surprises
Worth knowing: everyone on the trip sees everything on it. If part of the trip is a surprise, keep that plan out of the board until the day, or plan it in a separate trip they are not on.
Questions
- Can I hide a plan from one person?
- No. Everything on a trip is visible to everyone on it. For a surprise, add it on the day or keep it elsewhere until then.
- How do I split a bill excluding one person?
- Choose a custom split and set their amount to zero, or simply leave them out of the people it is split between.
- Does it work for a one-night thing?
- Yes. A single day trip is a perfectly normal holiday board.
Make sure the actual birthday gets planned
Times, leave times, outfits and a bill split that does not involve the birthday person.
