This is an important aspect that you first have to consider because the sooner you fix a date for the birthday, the earlier you start planning, but before that, you’ll have to do these things. They include:
Choosing the time for the birthday party is strictly based on who is hosting the party and the age.
Perhaps you may have noticed that parties consume a lot of resources, so you need to make a list of things necessary for the party and make a total overall budget. Make sure you stick to the budget you have made.
A guest list is important because it will help you to ensure that the people you wish to at that party are not forgotten when sending out your invitations.
Also, making a budget list will be easier as you already know the total number of guests you invite. These will also aid you in choosing where to hold the party.
You have to discuss with the celebrant where he or she wants the party to be held; if it is a small party containing at most 20 to 25 persons, then the party can be held in your home or someone else.
But if it is an elaborate birthday party that will accommodate more people, then go for a banquet hall. Make sure you choose a location and time that will work well together.

Having a themed birthday party features a lot of fun but is very costly simultaneously, so you have to check if the celebrant will appreciate such and endeavour to stick to the budget.
Ensure you send out the invitations 3-4 weeks earlier to give your guest time to plan for it and make provision for RSVP information on the invitation card.
You can also reach out to some of these guests to help clean up the area, decorate it, and prepare the food menu because doing it yourself will be stressful.
Considering what you have in mind for the party, you must prepare the food that best fits your theme (if you have one). Bearing in mind that some of your guests may have food allergies, you have to prepare safe foods or throw the curtain open for them to bring their food.
Remember, how long you want your party to last determines the type of food and beverages that you plan to provide, and that is, if your party lasts for only one hour, then go for light party refreshments, but if it will last for some hours, then you have to prepare a meal.
And don’t forget to supply as much food as possible that will be enough for your guests.

Although you might not be providing it yourself, you must ensure that food and drinks are in proportionate. Decide whether alcoholics are needed for the party or not.
This is the part you must prepare adequately because it either makes your birthday party look more attractive or not.
For a child’s birthday party, you have to decorate the venue with many balloons, streamers, and more. But if it is an adult birthday party, you must apply light decoration.
There are different kinds of entertainment plans, but it depends on the party type.
This is another important aspect of planning for birthday parties. Sometimes, the celebrant may not desire a birthday cake; if so, here are some wonderful substitutions for a birthday cake!
Preparing an alternative location to shield your guests from bad weather, especially if it is an outdoor event, is another thing you must arrange for.
This is a time that you asked them to help, so get them to assist you in setting up the venue, and this involves:
If you are the one cooking or providing the food, then you have to make plans for things that you will use to maintain the temperature of the food, bearing in mind that foods tend to spoil faster if it is not kept either hot or cold.

But if a catering centre provides the food, know it has been taken care of.
Since you planned for an outdoor event, but the weather is not bright, and you want to move the venue to your backup plan, you must inform your guests about the change so they will know where to go instead.
While planning for this party, remember that accidents or things that will demand emergency attention may likely occur.
So make arrangements for a first aid box for any accident or a cool-down area for a child who gets upset. Also, remember to keep pets away from the venue or in a secure place to avoid embarrassment.
