Tips for Planning a Birthday Party

The birthday of a loved one is arriving and you have decided that you want to host a party to celebrate this special occasion.

While you can just get a cake and some balloons and call it a day, if you want the party to really be a memorable one, you will need to do a little more planning to pull it all together.

Here are some tips that you can use to help you successfully plan a great birthday party.

Pick a Date and Time.

The first thing that you will need to do is pick a date and time for the event.

Pick a date and time that is near the actual birthday of the guest of honor – it doesn’t have to be on the exact birth date.

Pick a date and time that is convenient to everyone and select it at least 2 months in advance of the event.

Pick a Theme.

While you don’t have to have a theme for a birthday party, having one can certainly make the event feel even more special.

If you opt for a theme, pick something that you know that the guest of honor will love.

Pick something that is age appropriate; princesses for a little girl and a black and white party for an adult, for example.

Tie the theme into different elements of the party; décor, food and activities.

Plan a Menu.

Select a menu for the party. Decide if you will be serving an actual meal, or if you want to simply serve finger foods and desserts.

As a rule of thumb, if the party will be held during prime lunch or dinner hours, serving meal-type foods is appropriate; you don’t have to have a sit-down dinner, but you can serve a buffet of different meats, pastas and vegetables, for example.

Include Activities.

Sure, the guests at the party will mix and mingle and they can certainly make their own fun, but in order to ensure that all are having a good time, include some planned out activities.

For instance, at a child’s, or even at an adult’s party, you can have a scavenger hunt, or play pin the tail on the donkey (or pin the crown on the princess).

Having activities will avoid boredom and will help to ensure that the party is moving in the right direction.

If you want to plan a memorable party that your guest of honor is sure to remember, follow these easy-to-use tips and you will realize the success that you desire.
