Choose a Venue
Picking the perfect spot for your epic celebration is the first step in creating an unforgettable outdoor birthday party. Consider the size of your group, how much space you need for games and activities, and whether you will be able to provide shelter in case of inclement weather.
If possible, visit the location prior to your event to make sure it meets all your requirements. It’s always best to rent porta potties for an outdoor birthday party out of courtesy for your guests. Some outdoor venues don’t offer bathroom provisions. Partner with a reputable rental provider to determine how many units you’ll need.
Determine a Theme
A fun theme can make your child’s outdoor birthday party even more enjoyable. Think about the guest of honor and what types of activities they enjoy. Then, plan decorations, food, and games around that theme.
If you’re stuck for ideas, consider classic themes like a beach party or carnival-style bash. You can also use your kid’s favorite shows or movie characters as a theme and deck out the party space accordingly.
Make a Shopping List
After establishing a venue and theme, it’s time to make a shopping list. Make sure you have enough food and drinks for all your guests! You’ll also need party favors, decorations, plates, and utensils.
You can’t forget the highlight of birthdays: gift gifting! Every child looks forward to receiving gifts at their birthday party. Consider adding practicality to the gift-buying process so you can meet your child’s needs and honor their wishes. Keep it fun, but ensure they can get a lot of use out of their gift.
Create an Activity Plan
Don’t forget to plan activities that help you pull off the most epic outdoor birthday party! Make sure you have enough games and entertainment to keep everyone busy throughout the event. Think about age-appropriate activities like treasure hunts or Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Consider playing music, face painting, or showing a movie.
Depending on the party theme, you can plan activities that tie into it. For example, a carnival theme could include a popcorn station, a mini circus show, or a petting zoo. Add elements that pull everything together in an epic way.
Remember to have fun! The key to every birthday is a memorable time for all, especially the celebrant.
