Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should you plan a birthday party?
For a typical party, around three to four weeks gives you comfortable breathing room: set the date and budget and draw up the guest list a month out, send invitations about three weeks ahead so people can save the date, then work through theme, cake, food and entertainment in the fortnight before. Popular venues, entertainers and big-name characters book up much earlier, so if you want a specific one, enquire as soon as you have a date. Leave the easy jobs (decorating, prepping food) for the day before so the party day itself is calm. A simple countdown checklist stops anything being left to the last minute.
