Whether you\u2019ll be turning nine or 90, a birthday party is your chance to get together with friends and family to spend the afternoon dancing, playing games, opening gifts, or whatever else you do to celebrate. One of the reasons birthday parties are so special is that they can be adapted to suit any personality type and time of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 10-year-old can enjoy a pizza party with classmates, while an 80-year-old can have a fancy dinner party with family and friends. You can throw a surprise party at a bar for an extroverted 50-year-old, while a 20-year-old college student might enjoy a weekend camping adventure at a cabin or beach house. While there\u2019s no right way to throw a birthday party, there are some basic requirements you\u2019ll want to consider. Whether you\u2019re throwing a party for yourself or someone else, use this birthday party checklist to ensure the event is a resounding success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Pick a date for the occasion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-underground-bar-1024x683.webp 1024w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-underground-bar-300x200.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-underground-bar-768x512.webp 768w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-underground-bar-750x500.webp 750w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-underground-bar.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-underground-bar-1024x683.jpg\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-underground-bar-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-underground-bar-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-underground-bar-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-underground-bar-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-underground-bar.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-64243 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"retro sophisticated underground bar\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Peerspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>First, decide when to throw your birthday party. If you\u2019re throwing it for a friend, find out who they want to invite and how big they would like the party to be. Pick an evening or weekend so you can increase the chances of many people being able to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on how big the party will be, schedule it at least a few weeks ahead of time to give everyone a chance to RSVP. Find out if there are any other birthdays around the same time in your friend group to avoid scheduling them on the same day. If there are multiple birthdays, consider a joint party, such as a party for Leos or Scorpios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

The ideal venue for your party will depend on whether you want to host an indoor or outdoor event. Of course, you&#8217;ll have to guess what the weather will likely be. Consider browsing locations on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/plan\/birthday-party\">Peerspace<\/a> to find a venue that\u2019s the right fit for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you could throw a kids\u2019 birthday party at this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/pages\/listings\/5f403780728f17000c1a76c5\">outdoor play space in Chicago<\/a> (pictured above) or plan an evening soiree at this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/pages\/listings\/5a8a777b009baa4c00fa8e07\">house overlooking the Hollywood Hills<\/a>. The search page allows you to filter results by event type and capacity, making it easy to find a location for your group.

Remember, this is <em>your<\/em> special day, so be intentional about who you invite to the party. Will it stress you out to have your coworkers or parents there? Don\u2019t feel pressured to ask anyone you don\u2019t want to. You can always throw separate parties for different social groups, such as a happy hour with your work colleagues.

Alternatively, you can create a Facebook event. Don\u2019t bother with paper invitations unless it\u2019s a big occasion like a 50th birthday party and you really want to make an impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, some people don\u2019t bring gifts to birthday parties, so consider suggesting a charity that friends can donate to in the guest of honor\u2019s name. Or, ask them to bring a handwritten note or photo to celebrate a memory they have of spending time together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

This is especially important for bigger group gatherings, such as when a potluck or BYOB party just won\u2019t cut it. Many hosts of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/plan\/birthday-party\">Peerspace<\/a> venues have a caterer they can recommend, or you can call up the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/\">Concierge service<\/a> for support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider any other professionals you might want to hire. Would you like bar staff on-site to offer drinks? A DJ or magician for entertainment? A photographer to take pictures? If you don\u2019t want to worry about it yourself during the event, it\u2019s good to hire someone to do it!

You can go for a traditional birthday party look with balloons and streamers or opt for something a little classier that fits your party\u2019s theme. Your caterer may be able to provide dishware and place settings, or you can find matching plates and cups of your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on which venue you choose, you may need additional furniture or gear. Will you need tables and chairs for a seated dinner party? Sound and lighting equipment for the dance floor? If you need A\/V equipment, ask your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/plan\/birthday-party\">Peerspace<\/a> host what they have available, or check out our list of places to rent A\/V and camera gear in a variety of cities across the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, of course, there\u2019s one item on the birthday party checklist you can\u2019t forget: buy or bake a cake. Remember to bring candles and write a &#8220;happy birthday&#8221; message in frosting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.

If you haven\u2019t already, put together a rough plan of events, such as party games, dinner, cake, presents. You can always change things up to go with the flow of the evening, but it\u2019s a good idea to make sure your caterer knows when to bring out the food \u2014 and the cake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re hosting a children\u2019s birthday party, you\u2019re more likely to have games to play and gifts to open, but adults may enjoy playing party games, too. Have a few icebreakers on hand to introduce people who may not know each other yet, and be sure to toast the guest of honor at some point during the party. If you don\u2019t have a DJ, put together a Spotify playlist.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning a party can be a lot of work, but seeing the look of surprise on your child, best friend, or grandmother\u2019s face will be worth it. There\u2019s no better way to show someone you love them than to celebrate another year of their presence in your life.
