How to Have a Birthday Party

Birthdays come and go with each passing year, so how do you have a party that will always be memorable? A little planning and inspiration can get you started.

Pick a suitable theme. 1. Then choose a theme that suits them perfectly. You can go “all out” and make every aspect of the party theme-related, or you can try a lighter touch by including just a little theme-related decoration or food.

Plan ahead. Get your guest list made and your invitations out at least 2 weeks before the party. 2.

Plan your music. Make sure you have a way to play your tunes — whether that be just a set of speakers with a phone or music player, or a whole DJ setup.

3. Make sure you have a range of fast, slow, soft, and quiet songs on hand to fit the mood (情绪) at different times of the event and get your guests feeling celebratory.

Keep guests entertained. Provide lots of opportunities for social mingling (particularly for grown-ups),as well as “free play” for kids. But to really keep the celebration going, games always seem to be the hit of the party! 4.

Depending on your number of guests and their ages, you can even have several games running throughout the event. Balance your levels of activity so that there’s plenty going on throughout the party.

5. With kids’ parties especially, it is almost a certainty that things will not go exactly ording to plan. Be prepared by having extra games and activities, extra goody bags, and a rain plan ready.

A. Plan extra activities.

B. Expect the unexpected!

C. Background music really helps set the atmosphere.

D. Just remember, finger foods are best, particularly for young guests.

E. This way, you’ll know your group size and decide on the best place.

F. Consider the age, gender, interests and hobbies of the guest of honor!

G. There are great websites where you can find activities that tie into a particular theme.
