When your parents are reaching a milestone anniversary celebration, you may want to surprise them with a party and help them celebrate in style. You will need to do many things to get the party sorted and keep it a surprise for your parents. Below are some of the factors to consider which can help you make it a wonderful celebration that everyone enjoys and help mark a milestone moment in your parents’ lives.
The Venue
One of the first things you will need to do is choose a suitable venue for your celebration. You may want to do it in your home or if the weather is nice your garden, but if there will be lots of people there, you may want to hire a venue. The earlier you start planning your celebration, the better, as venues often get booked quickly, so you need to begin your search for a suitable venue as soon as you can. Once you have found the ideal location, you can then start planning other factors of the celebration.
Source A Caterer For The Event
You will also need to consider the catering for the celebration, and whether you will use the venue for this, an outside company, or provide the food yourself. At anniversary celebrations such as these, the food is often finger food, so snacks and sandwiches are par for the course. However, it can take some time to prepare, so if you are struggling to do the task yourself, it is often best to book a reputable company to do the catering for you.
Get A Special Cake Made
You may also want to mark the occasion with a specially made cake for your parent’s anniversary. It is an excellent idea to opt for a bespoke cake, and there are various options you can consider. However, bottle cakes are a fantastic idea for a celebration, and you can make them in varying styles. You can get a cake that looks like a bottle of champagne, their favourite bottle of wine, or a bottle of whisky they love. Many excellent bakers can create a cake in almost any style you can think of, and it is a perfect way to surprise your parents.
The Guest List
One thing you will not want to overlook is the guest list and ensure that all the favourite people your parents know are invited to the celebration. You will need to ensure that they know it is a surprise, so they do not let the cat out of the bag, and your parents find out about your plans. Once you have invited everyone to come to the celebration, you can then turn your attention to decorating the venue.
Decorating The Venue
Whether you are holding the party in your home or have hired out a venue, you will want to take some time to decorate it appropriately. You can get a congratulatory banner and other decorations and put these up around the venue. It is often common for people to have lots of balloons, but if you are going to have these, try and ensure you get biodegradable ones that are friendly to the environment.
