The Ultimate Birthday Party Checklist
Follow these steps to plan a seamless birthday party from start to finish:
1. Set a Budget
Decide how much you’re willing to spend on:
✔️ Venue rental
✔️ Food and drinks
✔️ Decorations
✔️ Entertainment
✔️ Invitations
💡 Tip: Booking a venue like Bistro Live can help you stay within budget while covering multiple costs in one package!
2. Choose a Venue
Your venue sets the tone for the party. Consider:
- Home party – Low-cost, but requires setup and clean-up
- Outdoor event – Great for summer, but weather-dependent
- Restaurant or event space – Less work for you, with catering included
🎉 Bistro Live is a hassle-free option with food, drinks, and entertainment all sorted!
3. Pick a Theme & Invitations
Decide if you want a themed party (e.g., 80s night, casino style, or elegant dinner). Send invites at least 2-3 weeks in advance via:
📩 Digital invites (Evite, Paperless Post)
📱 WhatsApp or social media groups
📬 Printed cards for a personal touch
4. Plan the Food & Drinks
Food is a key part of any party! Depending on your venue, you can:
- Cook at home for an intimate gathering
- Order catering for convenience
- Choose a venue with dining included

💡 String lights for ambiance
🎭 Photo booth props
