Planning a child's birthday party is usually relatively easy. You pick a theme and go with that. Planning an adult birthday party can be a little more difficult. Yes, there's themes to choose from, but finding that right theme and going with it can be kind of challenging if you have trouble thinking outside the box a little. Here are a few tips that will get you started on planning that next birthday party for an adult. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Nothing can be done without some brainstorming. What hobbies does the person you're throwing the birthday party for have? It could be a flashback theme going to the '60s and '70s theme, or you could do a casino theme or a Hawaii theme. Asking people who know the interests of the birthday boy or girl could help develop a theme. A theme is not needed, but it makes finding decorations easier. You also need to find a place for the party, depending on how many people you plan to invite and decide on a date and time.
2. Once you decide on a theme for the party now comes the invitation part. Invitations should be sent out at least a month in advance, even further in advance if a person may have to travel in from out-of-state for the party. To do invitations, you can buy the one already put together or make your own with colors that will match the colors being used or the theme being used for the party. If you plan on inviting a lot of people, making your own invitations could save some money.
3. Shop for decorations. Many party stores will have specific decorations in the themes you're looking for. Wandering through one of those stores could also give you some great ideas about what to do as a theme. What you need to think about is what you need as decorations. Where is the party being held and how much space do you have for decorations? You need centerpieces for the tables, some hanging decorations, table cloths, plates, cutlery, cups and lights if applicable.
4. Once you have decorations decided upon, it's time to put together the rest of the party. Is there going to be music? Do you need to hire a DJ or are you just going to play music from a CD player? Are you hiring a place to cater the food? What kind of food are you having at the party? Will there be dancing? These are the things you need to think about before the party.
