Planning a birthday party is like a road trip: getting there is half the fun. Deciding on a theme, decorations, and menu makes the days leading up to the event seem like part of the celebration. However there are many important details when planning a party, and organization is key. First choose a theme. This is where the planner can get ideas for decorations, invitations, party favors, and even games. The theme should match with your invitations so guests can expect what kind of a party it is, e.g. pool party, costume. Be sure the theme is age appropriate for the birthday guy or gal. Once chosen buy or make decorations to match. After the theme has been chosen it will be time to decide on a menu. Appetizers are a perfect go-to food idea. They are easy, and have a wide variety to choose from. If it is a children’s party hamburgers, and hotdogs are always a winner. Remember to provide drinks. Soda, water, and alcohol (if appropriate) are a great choice. This would also be the time to order a cake. Make sure the cake matches the theme, or symbolizes the birthday person. Finally send out the invitations about a week in advance: Be sure to include an RSVP, and phone number or email address where the guests can reach you. There you will be able to decide if more or less food, and party favors are needed. List where the party will be, when, and what time it is. Remember to put down additional information such as whether food will be provided, and what the guests need to bring. (Please bring your costume.) Mail the invitations, and avoid handing out invitations in front of other people who are not invited. Planning a birthday party is simple. It just takes some time and dedication. Follow these easy steps and your party will go smooth and stress free!
