Planning a birthday celebration for anyone is a sweet gesture. It becomes sweeter when a child does it for their parent. It’s one way to show their appreciation. While adulting can make it challenging to plan special moments, we’re here to help! Check out our top how-to tips below:
Before anything else, you should set a budget for how much you’re willing to spend. List down your essentials (like the food, venue, decorations, etc.) for the party and allocate a budget for them.
A theme balances a party. Choose a theme that suits your parents’ tastes or you can also go for popular themes like a garden party, retro, or showcase your culture.

Count how many guests you’re having, the weather on the day, and the accessibility of your potential venues After that, decide whether to hold the party in your backyard or if you want to rent a venue.
Compile a list of people to invite to make things easier. Make a list of your parents’s friends and loved ones. If you’re not planning a surprise party, ask them who they want to invite.
You have a potluck or hire a catering service. Hiring a catering service is a popular choice for birthdays since it’s convenient and leaves the hosts worry-free.
When planning the menu, you should plan it around your parents’ favorite dishes. If you can, bring them along to the grand food tastings of your prospective caterers and let them decide on the food.

Hire a live band or a DJ for the entertainment. You can also create a playlist filled with our parents’ favorite tunes and be the DJ for the night for a more cost-effective option.
You can also plan simple activities that everyone can enjoy. Invite their friends to give speeches or contribute to a heartfelt video for a more personal touch.
Enhance your decorations to match your theme. Feeling creative? Choose between DIY decor or hiring a professional styling team. Add a personal touch with photos and memorabilia by setting up a small exhibit of your parents’ photos.
Create a timeline for the day’s events. Schedule food serving, speeches, and entertainment to ensure enough time for each activity and smooth transitions between them.
Crystallize the moment by designating someone to take photos or hiring professional photographers for your event. You can also create or hire a photo booth for extra fun! Share the memories online by having a hashtag for guests.
A week before the big day, confirm all bookings and arrangements. Make sure you understand the payment terms of the suppliers you hired and prepare the checklist so you won’t forget anything.
Birthdays are celebrated only once so why not make it extra special? Creating a thorough plan is essential for any event, especially for your parents’ special day.
