4. Create a Guest List:

  • List family, friends, and other important people.

  • Use the theme to guide your decor, invitations, and activities.

6. Plan the Menu:

  • Decide on the type of food (sit-down meal, buffet, finger foods).
  • Consider the dietary preferences and restrictions of guests.
  • Don’t forget the birthday cake!

7. Decorations:

  • Consider a focal point such as a decorated cake table or photo backdrop.

8. Entertainment and Activities:
