A year older, a year wiser. It’s a birthday celebration so let the fun begin!

We’ve put together a comprehensive guide on how to throw an awesome birthday party, and included some complementary essentials that will put every guest in the mood. Let’s get to it, shall we? 

PICK A THEME

Every party needs a theme to get the planning started. Don’t worry about matching your theme with how old you’re going to be. No theme is too young or old for anyone!

It can be your all-time favourite Barbie party or even a masquerade ball. But if you’re planning it for someone, make sure you’re deciding the theme together. Unless it’s a surprise party, which would require you to figure out an appropriate theme.

HAVE FUN WITH THE DECOR

Once you’ve decided on a theme, next is to make your celebration look the part. Just use a little creativity and voila, you’ll have one good lookin’ party!

Consider these decor for your backdrop:

• If your backdrop has extra space, our Wood Prints can give you a unique take that will effortlessly put the spotlight on the birthday star.

• For a simple yet attractive backdrop, our Multi Canvas Prints are the perfect medium for highlighting the journey and milestones of the birthday boy/girl.

After the party, these decorations can still be kept and displayed in your home. Win-win!

INDULGE YOUR GUESTS

Never leave your guests with empty bellies! Satiate their taste buds with great food and thirst-quenching drinks. If it’s an intimate celebration, this would be an opportunity to unleash the kitchen goddess in you and serve your own recipes. Otherwise, pick a cuisine and hire a caterer to handle the grub for you.

Some gadgets you may need to spice up the food and beverage area:

• Label the food at your party with our customisable Desktop Plaques – it makes a nice decoration too!

• Serve canapés, drinks, snacks or desserts with a personalised Serving Tray that will delight your guests as they reach out for the munchies.

• If your guests are mostly adults, prepare some custom Shot Glasses along with a good time.

LINE UP ACTIVITIES

A birthday celebration isn’t a party without some fun and games, right?

• Charades
  It goes without saying that this game is popular for a reason. Create any types of scenarios on our Insta Cards, like these. Get one person to act out the words or phrases while his/her team guess the answer. No talking allowed; just gestures!

• Board Games
  Most of us grew up playing board games, so why not bring back the nostalgia with a twist by customising our Serving Tray into a board game? It’s just as practical on most days. 😉

• Trivia Game
  Test how well the guests know about the birthday boy/girl by organising a quiz! Customise our Poster Prints with entertaining questions that will bring smiles and laughter.

SEND OUT INVITES

No people, no party. Selecting your guests is definitely an essential step, but it’s also the time to consider if you want to party with a bang or keep this celebration a peaceful family affair.

Either way, it’s best to make sure your guests keep the date open for the celebration. Start by handing them personalised invitation cards with details of the party or better yet, magnetic Save The Date invitations they can stick on their fridge as a reminder and memento!

GO SHUTTER-CRAZY

Keep your awesome celebration close to heart with loads of photographs to remember by. Take your photography game to the next level with our Photo Props that will definitely tickle the hearts of your guests.

After which, you can bring the moments to life with Photo Prints or a Photobook!

HAND OUT PARTY FAVOURS

While your guests leave with good memories, show them how much their presence means to you. Surprise them with a Tote Bag of goodies to enjoy and a heartfelt thank you note. Now that’s some A++ hosting!
