It is your Big day! Excited? Yes, we know how it can be. Birthdays are one of those rare days on which “you” are the star of the day. We all appreciate a little special attention right? Basically, the idea of a birthday party is to get together and have fun. Read on if you plan a Big Party! Having fun is the easy part. How about the organising and planning for entertainment? What about the birthday party venue and decoration ideas? Three steps to make things easier – Have a plan. Your plan will first consider the birthday boy/girl’s interests on which you can base the theme.

1. Plan the guest list and invitations

2. Pick a suitable venue. – (depending on the budget, location weather conditions and theme you can plan the decor and entertainment and food)

Themes are so important for a birthday party if you want to make it different from the regular get together and increase excitement levels. Plan the themes based on a favourite movie or superhero, sport or hobby. A friend of mine told me about a superhero theme birthday party she had attended. It was hilarious to see all the guys and girls dressed in those costumes but all of them had great fun. You could also plan themes like circus, undersea, jungle, fun fair and chocolate world. Along with games and other entertainment, a karaoke would add a lot of excitement to the party.

When planning a Birthday party venue other than your home, your venue provider can be of immense help. Themed birthday parties can be quite fun if you could ask your venue provider to help you arrange for the props, jugglers, tattoo artist and standees, music and decor as per the theme like the streamers, entrance, banners, projector and screen. In addition, in the carnival theme, your venue provider could assist in providing and arrangement for the fun, food and game stalls, photo booths and backdrops in addition to the thematic decor. Plan the party menu, return gifts and tableware personalised to suit your theme.

The list of exciting themes is endless, it is all up to your creative mind. Have you considered the Dracula theme? Or a retro Bollywood/Hollywood theme? More possibilities could be the undersea theme, Moroccan or the Hawaiian theme, casino theme, beach party and carnival theme.

You have decided the theme. Now the question is where. Where could you host your birthday party to ensure that it is a grand success? You need to enjoy a hassle free experience and be free to take care of your guests and take part in the celebrations too. The birthday party venue should appeal to your guests as well as accommodate all of them comfortably. It should allow for your themed decoration and games too. Also, if it is easily accessible, it would be very convenient for your guests. All over Mumbai, there are a variety of locations and venues – banquet halls, party halls, stand alone, within hotels and malls, indoor play zones, lawns, rooftops, open terraces, clubhouses, lounges, farmhouses, resorts, beachside villas and poolsides to select from. If the weather is right, outdoors may be a good idea for evening celebrations. They allow for fun activities like rain dance and games that require space and involve big formations and activities like running and ball games and water games. It may sound childish, but next time, try getting everyone to play the game, “dog and the bone”. Guaranteed fun.

Banquet and Party halls

Although common, this is the most preferred venue for most parties. Associated amenities like catering, decor, parking space and accessibility add to the convenience factor. Almost any theme birthday party can be organised in a banquet hall. Also most have the convenience of valet parking. 

Bowling Alley

Don’t forget you can have a great party even at a regular hang out. A friend of mine hosted his birthday party at a bowling alley. It was a time well spent in games and fun – we all had an awesome time.

Rooftops

Rooftops are a fascinating venue for birthday parties. For evening parties, it is important to keep the terrace well lit and ambience lively. You could use candles, colourful lamps and running lights. In the daytime, add lots of colour to the terrace, comfortable seating and potted plants. A rooftop swimming pool would add a touch of glam to the occasion. In the summers remember to add mist fans. You don’t want your guests exiting the rooftop venue for the air - conditioned interiors.

Outdoors - Lawns / Garden party

To add a touch of “travel down memory lane” your venue provider could assist in arranging a double decker bus ride from the birthday party venue - decorated with balloons and thematic props. You could have your party on the top of the bus in open air visiting some of your favourite spots all over the city! Pick more friends on the way. With friends, music, fun and games what could be a better way to spend the day?

 Lawns are best for hosting wonderful themes like the carnival theme, farmyard, funfair and circus theme. Decoration can include streamers, banners, colourful balloons, lights, standees, flowers, wearables for selfies, hangings, photo backdrops, confetti, table covers. Not to forget, lawns are also great for water games with sprinklers and games that require spacious areas.

Lounges / Clubs / casinos

Young adults with a penchant for dancing can book a lounge for the evening and celebrate the special day with friends and music! Theme Retro can be used to decorate the space accordingly. It is great fun to see your friends dressed up in the retro theme, don’t you think?

Beachside Villa / Resort

For those who love the seaside, how about booking a beachside villa for an entire day and inviting your friends and family over to spend the day with you? Sounds good? For more excitement, you could request the venue provider for assistance in booking the water sports.

Poolside

Another great venue for birthday parties is poolside. Book a poolside venue and invite your guests to enjoy water games and bar - be - que.
