Similarly, if it is about your wife’s birthday, then you need to plan accordingly.

Plan two months before


Birthdays are not like weddings, so you do not need to panic, two months are enough if you are planning a big birthday party. If you have got a small birthday party in your mind, then two weeks would be excellent. It depends upon the size of the party and the guests.

Find the ideas for birthday parties.

Usually, birthday parties are planned as surprises, but sometimes surprises are not feasible, and you need to involve the person as well. Let us assume that it is going to be a surprise birthday party. In that case, the planner will have to select a different venue; you cannot have the party at the person’s residence. Not only this, but you should also pick up the right theme.

The theme of a birthday party will depend upon the guests coming to the party and the person you are arranging for a birthday party. If it is your mom, then you can have a somber theme; similarly, for your brother, you will go with a hard and exciting arrangement. Online research, some acquaintances, and your friends can help you in figuring it out.

Make a list

Once you have decided on the theme, for example, if it is going to be your daughter’s birthday, you might think of a Disney princess theme. Now keeping in view that princess theme, you can think of a lot of things, for example, some decorative articles, the dresses, food, and hairstyle of the birthday girl. Making a list will save you time and would ease the arrangement.

Think of the activities

No one will remember a boring birthday party, not even the person for whom you took all this pain. You thus, need to include a few fun activities at this party. Many people think that only food would be the main thing at a birthday party. No, do not feel that way. It will ruin all your effort.

Now again, the activities that can be included in the birthday party plan are relevant; if it is a kid’s birthday party, you can add some games for kids. If in case it is going to about a mature adult, then you can have dumb charades, truth, and dare, or make a quiz for the close family members for honoring the person who is going to have that birthday party.

The food and snack


Cakes and cupcakes are a compulsory dish, but you should not let the guest go without having a good meal or refreshment. You can contact some food vendors and bakeries that will make food for the guests. You should select the menu if there are going to be kids only then the food has to be according to their taste and inclination. It would be great if you ask a few of the guests about their favorite dishes.

Do all this in a budget.

Planning without a budget is like living in a fool’s paradise; you should make a budget for planning a fantastic birthday party. In the market, you will get several offers each of them with varying prices; you should gauge each one according to your budget and the requirement.
