How do you organise a 21st birthday party in Perth?

Planning a 21st birthday party can be really fun if you have a good group of friends to help you out. The more people that are involved the quicker things will get done. Check out our ultimate guide to planning a 21st birthday party. Here are a few more tips to help you plan your 21st birthday bash:

Create a checklist

The first thing you need to do is create a checklist of everything you'll need to organise for your event. Include all the main elements such as venue hire, decorations, food and entertainment. Don't forget to include little details like tableware and other odds and ends you might not think of at first.

The more organised you are with your 21st birthday party checklist, the smoother it will go! We recommend printing out your checklist on some inexpensive paper so that everyone is able to see what needs to be done — this will ensure no one forgets something important.

Choose an event space

The next step is booking a 21st birthday event venue in Perth city. There are so many different types of birthday party venues available that it can be quite overwhelming at times! An event space platform like VenueNow curates the best birthday party venues in Perth and will help you find a venue in minutes instead of hours!

Decide on your menu

You can take two routes with this: either you plan your menu and get some of your friends or family to help out, or you just hire someone who will do it all for you. It's more fun if you decide to go the first route but it'll be easier if you go down the second option. Some venues have their own catering options, so it's best to check with them first. Your choice of catering will also depend on the type of birthday party you're having and how many guests will be there.

Plan your activities/entertainment

If you're having an outdoor party, then make sure there are enough activities to keep everyone busy. It should be consistent with your theme (i.e. if it's beach-themed, then consider getting some volleyball nets or badminton set-ups). If you've decided to hire a DJ, then make sure they have all the music that people want. A good idea is to give everyone a game of something when they arrive. This way, it not only gets everyone comfortable, but also keeps guests entertained throughout the party.
