Planning a birthday – and basic just isn’t your vibe? We’ve got you covered. Here is THE birthday bash blueprint, consisting of six stylish details that will elevate your celebration from cute to completely unforgettable.
Signature Cocktails or Cash Bar?
Think about the vibe: are you going for curated cocktails that match the theme or a cash bar to keep things laid-back? A signature drink named after the birthday guest is a fun touch that also makes for great content.
Dress Theme – Chic, Casual, or Costume?
setting a dress theme can elevate the whole vibe of the event and make for more cohesive photos. Whether it’s a ‘90s throwback, all-white party, or a sequins & spritz, a clear dress code gets everyone in the spirit.
Photographer or Disposable Cameras?
Professional photos guarantee gorgeous, high-quality shots, but disposable cameras or Polaroids are perfect for those candid, in-the-moment captures. Either way, make sure guests know where to find them – and encourage them to tag you in their posts.
Photo Wall or Floral Arrangement?
A photo wall can be a major statement piece and a great focal point for those all-important birthday snaps. Alternatively, a gorgeous floral arrangement can double as decor and a photo backdrop. Pick one and make it a moment.
Food – Grazing Tables, Canapés, or Oyster Stations?
For a more relaxed vibe, grazing tables and share platters keep the food flowing and guests mingling. Want to go luxe? An oyster station or a chef-manned canapé round will level up the entire experience.
Afterparty Plans – Keep the Night Going
Don’t let the vibe die when the event ends. Have a plan for the rest of the night – whether that’s an afterparty at a bar, a chill-out session back at someone’s place, or a late-night dance floor takeover. Let guests know in advance so they’re ready to keep the party going.
