Planning a Birthday Party - The Ultimate Guide
How to Easily Plan a Birthday Party - Live Music Included!
Soon it's time. Another year of life has been reached and you have every reason to celebrate! You want to plan a birthday party that will be talked about for a long time? How about, for example, live music as the highlight for your party? We've put together a guide for the perfect birthday and thought up creative ideas for your special day.
These Questions You Should Ask Yourself Before Starting the Actual Birthday Party Planning!
On which day do I want to celebrate?
Do you have enough time during the week or is the weekend perhaps better suited because of work, school or studies?
At what time do I want to celebrate?
Do you want to start already in the afternoon or only in the evening when it's slowly getting dark?
Who do I want to celebrate with?
Do you prefer to have your family around you on your big day or would you rather toast with your best friends?
Where do I want to celebrate?
Do you like it best at home in familiar surroundings or do you fancy an exciting location away from home?
How do I want to celebrate?
Should it be more of a cozy get-together with coffee and cake or a rocking party that goes until the early morning hours?
1. Whether Professional or DIY: Create a Personal Invitation for Your Guests
Completely professional: If your invitation should really make an impression, it's best to commission a graphic designer and have your invitation professionally printed.
Completely personal: You don't have to be a crafting talent to design your invitation cards by hand. You can find many templates on the internet and a handwritten invitation has something special too, doesn't it?
Completely simple: Sometimes it just has to be quick. The digital natives simply create a Facebook event or create a WhatsApp group. The advantage: Here you get direct feedback about acceptances and declines from your friends.
2. Find a Suitable Location for Your Birthday Party
This question requires a bit more consideration. You'll naturally save a lot of money if you celebrate in your own four walls. In summer, the home garden also offers itself to make an open-air event out of your birthday. The advantage: You're completely flexible in the preparation.
Don't feel like dealing with stress from neighbors and the cleanup action the next day? Then you can look around for another location. For example, just ask your favorite local bar if it can be rented!
Your birthday party becomes particularly memorable if you choose an unusual place. Is there, for example, a beach club or party boat in your city that can be used for private occasions? Do you live by the sea? Then take a smaller group to the beach! Do you live in the mountains or countryside? Rent a mountain or hiking hut for you and your friends and celebrate your birthday in an unforgettable environment!
3. Get a Live Band as the Highlight for Your Celebration
Music, of course, must not be missing from any birthday party. Can't find a suitable playlist on Spotify? Then we have an idea for you: Simply surprise your guests with a live band at your birthday party !
On our artist page you'll find entertainers in your area. Whether a soulful singer-songwriter for the celebration in a small circle, a rocky band for the 30th birthday or a party band for a wild party with your friends – with a live act your birthday party becomes an unforgettable experience!
4. Create Special Decorations for Your Birthday Party
How you design the decoration naturally depends entirely on your personal taste. Generally, it makes sense to adapt the decoration to the season. If you still need a bit of inspiration, you can check out the Pink Dots page for birthday decoration .
And what do you think of an original theme party? In that case, you can give the room design a great theme and set the dress code for your guests. You can find many different ideas for your birthday party theme on the Kartenmachen blog .
5. Prepare a Selection of Snacks & Drinks for Your Guests
Sure, it's all a matter of cost, but you must take care of your guests' well-being! Because we all know it: An empty stomach affects the mood. If you're meeting in a small group in the afternoon with friends, it's enough to bake a delicious cake and have some drinks ready. You're throwing a big party but have no gift wishes? Then ask your guests to bring something homemade for the buffet. You probably know best what your friends want to drink. Depending on what you serve, your guests will get in the mood faster. It's probably no secret that a drop or two of alcohol can work real wonders when it comes to exuberant dance moves. Our tip: signature cocktails . You'll find some recipes for them under the link.
And Now It's Up to You to Plan a Birthday Party with Live Music!
We hope these tips help you throw a fantastic birthday party. It's very important that you can enjoy your own celebration. After all, it's your special day!
