Birthday party tips and tricks

Planning birthday parties is not just about finding the ideal location, although that is obviously why you are here. But, organizing such events requires some research and preparation as well. Keep scrolling for some Tagvenue help.

  • Decide on a theme. A themed party doesn’t happen so often, so this will be a great chance to experiment with themes and costumes if you’re feeling up to it. Check with the restaurant if they don’t have a strict attire policy, and if they allow you, then let your imagination run wild. Themes will of course depend on the age and type of guests that you’re inviting (a Peppa Pig theme is not so appropriate for adult parties… or maybe it could be - your call). Ask your kids what type of party they would like, and plan accordingly. As for adults, decide if you want to have more of an elegant and sophisticated theme, or a chill, laid-back one. If you’re not into costumes, then at least the decorations could be a nice touch for the event.
  • Choose some before or after restaurant attractions. We would like to underline the fact that you are in Washington. And this means that you have many attractions around you, no matter where you are. Would you like to see some museums, take walks in parks, or search for a nightclub that will liven up everyone after the food? Washington has many lively neighborhoods. Take a look at Adams Morgan, known for its nightlife and international cuisine. Check out Navy Yard for fantastic green spaces and outdoor activities. Head to Foggy Bottom and enjoy the live performances of art, music and theater in the John F Kennedy Center of the Performing Arts.
  • Prepare a guest list. Who are you planning to invite? If you’re planning a big party, make sure you haven’t left out anyone important, who you might regret not inviting later. Are you inviting people with their partners? Is it an open party for potential additional guests, or are you strict with the number of people that you’re inviting? Prepare the list with a friend or a family member, so that you don’t miss anyone. It happens to the best of us!
  • Have a surprise party! Ok, so maybe not for yourself. But if you’re planning to host a party for a friend or a family member,  it could be one that will leave them speechless. Surprise parties are hard to throw because you need to have everyone on the same page. So make sure to inform everyone that should be there about your plan, make a Facebook group, but make sure that the person that you’re throwing the party for doesn’t see it. To make the party extra special, you can do a little more research on what this person likes, and plan the theme according to their interests. And most of all, make sure this person actually likes surprises, we all know someone who has a distaste for these types of parties!
  • Bring in your own birthday cake and treats! What a lovely way to highlight your party. Homemade treats are always yummy and made with love - treat your guests and treat yourself! Decide on the flavor, and perhaps the theme. The good thing about sweet treats is that you can decorate them in so many different ways. Bring a unique creation, which no one has ever had before! You can also get a cake from a bakery that you love. A lot of restaurants will not specialize in baking a birthday cake, so this is a great idea, most likely for you and the host of the venue. However, sometimes you will be charged a fee, so just make sure to talk to the manager first.
  • Book a photographer. Why not make it a night that will truly be remembered in every possible way, by booking a photographer who will catch every smile at the party? Prepare a beautiful photo album, and take a look at the wonderful photos any time you, please. A professional photographer will focus on you and your guests, while you’re out there, enjoying yourselves.

Budgeting tips

We know that renting a venue can be a little pricey. If you want to make your dining experience more affordable, you can try a couple of things which will not entail breaking the bank before the party. Check if the venue offers a price-per-person option, or whether you have to pay a minimum hire fee. If you’re inviting a small number of guests, then a price-per-person option could make the venue fee significantly smaller. Other than that, we recommend asking the manager if a BYOB option is available and if that will reduce the cost of the rent. Some venues will also charge you less if you rent the event space at a specific time or day. If it’s not a problem for you and your guests to celebrate in the middle of the week, the price could suit your budget better. And last but not least, you can always try and negotiate the cost. If the restaurant doesn’t have people waiting in line to book the place, then they might meet you halfway. 

Do you feel ready to book a place for a birthday party, yet? We certainly hope so. When searching for the ideal place to book, make sure to use Tagvenue’s search engine, which will surely narrow down your list of choices, so you can pick the ideal location for this special event. We keep our fingers crossed. Now go, explore and book the best birthday restaurant Washington, D.C. has to offer!
