HOW TO: 1st BIRTHDAY PARTY PLANNING GUIDE

Your precious baby is turning one – how will you plan the big bash?! We are here to give you a 3 month guide on what to do, how to do it and most importantly, when to do it!

INTERTWINED EVENTS’ 1st BIRTHDAY PARTY PLANNING GUIDE

3 Months:

• Choose a theme
• Create your invite list
• Set a realistic budget for yourself
• Choose your location
  • If you are doing it at a local park, be sure to check on permits! Most parks do not allow you to have alcohol and some parks require additional permitting for bounce houses or other structures.

2 Months:

• Secure a caterer
• Secure your furniture rentals
• Secure a photographer, if needed
• Map out some fun activities
  • Activities for both adults AND children!
• Send out your invites
• Order a smash cake

1 Month:

• Track all RSVPs and call those you haven’t heard from
• Create goodie bags for those under the age of 12
• Start putting together and DIY décor for the party
• E-mail or call a few friends to help with setup for the day of the party

Week of:

• Call all vendors to confirm
• Keep calm because everything will turn out perfect!
