It’s cold and dreary out, which makes it an excellent time to start pl
anning your fun outdoor spring events. If you have a loved one with a birthday coming up in the next few months, make them feel special by throwing a big birthday bash to celebrate! Taking the time to plan in advance ensures that your event will go smoothly and leave friends and family talking for years to come. So, whether it’s a milestone birthday or just another year, celebrate the life of a friend of family member this spring using these helpful tips:
Choose a Location
The first thing you’ll want to do is find a venue. If you’re planning an outdoor celebration, you’ll likely have plenty of options to choose from in the spring because it’s a less busy time for event planning than the summer. Whether you choose to have the party at a local park, campground, farm, or other outdoor location, make a reservation ahead of time (where available) to secure your preferred date.
Pick a Theme
Themed parties are back in style for adults and have always been popular for kids. So, pick a theme, or at least a color scheme, and go crazy. The further you plan ahead of time, the more likely you are to find great ways to incorporate the theme into every element of the party. Pinterest is great for finding inspiration around almost any party idea that you can think of, and you can organize your favorite ideas on a secret board to avoid tipping off the birthday gal or guy.
Get Entertainment
Live entertainment like a band or magician is always fun for a birthday party, but if you don’t have the budget for hiring entertainment, you can make your own fun by organizing inexpensive activities for guests. Plan games, sports, and other friendly competitions with prizes to give the party some structure. Consider your guest list when selecting games to make sure that they’ll be age and skill-level appropriate.
Set a Guest List
Determining who to invite is often the trickiest part. Invite any friends and family that you can’t imagine not being there and then add additional “nice-to-have” guests as the budget or venue selection allows. Keep in mind that while not everyone you invite will attend, you’re likely to have a higher turnout than you would if you were planning the party at a busier time of the year (like around the holidays or during summer break).
Plan Food/Drinks
Nothing gets people talking faster than good food, which is why having delicious food and drinks is integral to any great birthday party! No matter how old your guests are, find the right foods and snacks to offer a stunning meal. Whether you’re going to have the party catered or do the preparation yourself, select foods that will keep well outside and delight guests.
