Friends and family are surely very important to many people and celebrating their existence is something fun and exciting to do. Birthdays are occasions that obviously everyone enjoys and expects attention to. So, why not arrange for something for your family or friends that make them feel special.. isn’t it?
But surely there are some people who do not know how to organize birthday parties and they end up feeling helpless..so, what basic things are required for a birthday party? So, I decided to throw my best friend a rocking party for her birthday..actually, she just had a breakup and also, she had lost her pet due to old age..so she was quite upset and heartbroken..so I decided to cheer her up a little. The requisites for a party as followed by me were
1) An appropriate venue: Select an appropriate venue for the celebration..like for a smaller, cozier party you could choose a home, or for a larger, bigger celebration, choose a bar/lounge. Also, to make things better, you could choose a venue that has some memories attached to it, which would make it more memorable. I chose to throw a huge party in a lounge where I first went to a party..it was special to us. I chose to throw her a grand party.
2) Decoration: You can decorate the venue according to the choice of your loved one. You could fill the venue with balloons, flowers, or props of any kind. Basically, make the place worth Instagramming (of course people would love to Instagram about it). The theme of my friend’s party was glitter..so the decor was pretty much inspired by the theme. I filled the place with beautiful balloons and a LOT of glitters!
3) Food: Make arrangements for delectable food which of course can be consumed by everyone. In fact, make sure that arrangements are made according to the guest list so that no one is left out in case they have different food preferences. Most of the people I invited were vegetarians, so I kept the menu restricted to vegetarian food.
4) Drinks: Arrange for drinks if it’s an adult’s party, so choose the kind of drink that can be consumed by everyone..like wine- it is light, sophisticated and tasty. Something like chardonnay or cabernet sauvignon or pinot grigio can set the mood for the party. What does pinot grigio taste like is something to look forward to…I mean, it is amazing and lip-smacking). Anyway, make some arrangements for non-drinkers too. I decided to serve Pinot Grigio anyway as it is my friend’s favorite drink.
5) Cake: Cake cutting is absolutely essential for a birthday..so arrange for a wonderful and oh so yummy birthday cake(obviously of the choice of the person you are celebrating). My friend loves cheesecake..so that was the cake of the evening.
6) Guestlist: Of course, the guest list should consist of people who are dear to the person whose birthday is being celebrated. Invite the near and dear ones and then see how happy your person would be! I invited all her family and friends(except her ex of course).
All in all, I was able to arrange a grand and amazing party for my friend and finally, she was able to smile and be happy for a change.
