If you are planning a 50th birthday party, you need to consider several factors before putting together your menu and decorations. Depending on the theme of your party, you can buy or rent party supplies to help make the party run smoothly. Decide how many guests you expect. A general rule of thumb is around 70-80% of your invited guests will show up. Once you know how many people are coming, determine where to save money and where to splurge.
Start small. If you know that you have many close friends and family members, consider having a smaller party first. If you usually receive “yes” responses from people, keep these numbers in mind. You may also want to factor in your plus ones or children. You should be able to accommodate at least 50 guests, including kids and plus ones. This will save you a lot of time and energy. Make sure your guests RSVP, too! Otherwise, you may be too overwhelmed to do some of the DIY tasks.
After all the planning is done, you can get ready for the party. Prepare food and set up the tables and decorations. Set up the food stations and games. Then, call your entertainer to make sure you have their time and the right price. You should also defrost all of your food and cake in advance. Don’t forget to get emergency supplies for the kitchen. You don’t want anyone getting hurt at your party!
