Birthday
Party Planning
by
Mrs. Party...
Gail LeinoBe
organized by planning the birthday party plenty of time ahead. First,
do the guest list. Next, think of fun party themes like western BBQ,
fiesta, luau party or Mardi Gras party.
Then, plan the menu taking into account any special food requirements
that might be needed by guests. Create a shopping list from the menu
or hire a caterer. Also, make a list for the party decorations, party
supplies, florists, engraved gifts for prizes, and party favors. Don't
forgot the party invitations. Plan party games, activities, and crafts.
Decide on the birthday party music and any addition entertainment. Purchase
party supplies online to save time and gas (and sometimes tax)! Shop
for the food and any remaining needed party decorations. Buy party games
and supplies for the crafts and activities. Rent necessary tables, chairs,
etc. Buy music or hire musicians. For a pool party, hire certified lifeguards
and get lots of beach balls. If having entertainment, disc-jockeys and
bouncy bouncers, hire them. Organize the seating arrangement. For sit
down dinners, place-cards are a nice touch. Have flower delivery as late
as possible for the freshest flowers.
Do as much of the setting up in advance as possible. Don't plan on any
store runs the day of the event. Make sure your camera has memory (or
film) and batteries.Have fun at your party and so will your guest !
