Birthdays are an important celebration, allowing friends and family to come together and share memories and love. Why not celebrate in style this year with the ultimate birthday bash that your friends and family will not soon forget?
Choosing Birthday Invitations
Your festivities must start with exciting birthday invitations that will have guests enthusiastic for your party. If you are planning a fun theme, then extend it to your birthday invitations to prepare guests. You might plan a Mexican fiesta theme with your birthday invitations featuring margarita glasses against a bright green background.
You could also use color as your theme, whether you choose your favorite color to inspire your birthday party or choose a color that fits in with your birth date. For instance, if your birthday is in March, you might consider hosting a green St. Patrick's Day birthday party and select green birthday invitations with leprechauns or four-leaf clovers.
Planning the Ultimate Intimate Birthday
If your idea is a quiet, intimate birthday party, you can still plan a fun theme or activity to make your birthday stand out. You could plan an ice-skating party and have your friends meet you at your local ice rink. Afterwards, you can all eat dinner at your favorite restaurant after you've worked up an appetite doing pirouettes on the ice.
You could also have an all girls or guys night out birthday party and be as crazy or tame as you want. You might invite your friends to a pub crawl if you live in an urban area, a relaxing day at the spa for the girls, or a rousing game of paintball for the guys. Your birthday invitations should reflect the nature of your party, such as featuring a picture of girls wrapped in towels getting pampered for a spa party, or a birthday invitation that looks splattered with paint drops for a paintball party.
Tips for Hosting a Large Birthday Party
If you want to go all out and have a huge birthday party bash, kudos to you! However, keep in mind that extra planning comes with inviting extra people. For parties of 100, 200, or even 300 potential guests, you will probably need to rent a venue for your party. If your birthday will take place during warm weather, or you live in a warmer climate, consider having your party outdoors. This can cut down on cost if you choose a local park or even your own backyard.
You could easily host a potluck so that you don't have to worry about feeding hundreds of your closest friends. A theme works well for large gatherings, and you can choose one that has meaning to you. You might have a spy theme, for example, if you are a big James Bond fan. On your birthday party invitation, ask guests to dress as their favorite Bond character. Or you can ask that everyone comes "undercover," similar to a costume party.
Your birthday party will be a success if you plan accordingly, choose a theme you love, and send birthday invitations that get guests as excited as you are for your approaching birthday.
Whether you are planning the ultimate birthday party for 50 or 500 guests, be inspired by the vast array of available birthday stationery and choose unique birthday invitations that reflect your dynamic personality and special day.
