How To Throw an Intimate Birthday Party in Toronto

When we were kids, having birthday parties was so much easier. Our parents would just throw the party and we would only have to worry about wearing the proper clothes. But now that we are older, and have no one to do it for us, here are some ideas for a smaller birthday party that is going to be as fun as those parties you had as a kid.

Your Birthday, or A Close Friends Birthday?

Are you throwing this party for yourself, or a close friend of yours? If it's the latter, is it a surprise? These are a few things to consider when you are planning an event like this. If you are throwing this for yourself, don't go too crazy with the event. Having a small birthday party is all anyone needs. Invite your closest friends and family to go out for a drink or a night out, go have dinner at an extra fancy place. Or just a small gathering in a nice venue. If it's for someone else and a surprise party, then you can be a bit more extravagant.

Throwing a Surprise For Someone

If you are throwing a party for your friend, then you should be a bit more extravagant with it if you can. Ask everyone who will attend to help out, because in this case, the more help the better. Get a nice venue to host the party at. Make sure people can get to that spot easily. It's a surprise so (obviously) don't let the birthday person know what's going to happen. But if you don't want it to be a surprise party, then it's okay to let them know what's going to happen. But keep a few things here and there a surprise.

Where to Host The Party

If you want the party to be a success, you need a good place to have the party in the first place. Using toronto Event Space Rentals, you can find a bunch of spaces that will fit your party throwing needs. The spaces are very accessible, and guest friendly much like other spaces in toronto. The difference between the spaces of TESR and other spaces like theirs, is that TESR is much more affordable. While the other spaces will cost you upwards of $400/hr, their spaces will only be around $125/hr. This way, you can have a great party without worrying about the money in your wallet being drained. 

Who to Invite To The Party

Well, a small function doesn't need that many people. So invite your friends and the birthday person's family if possible. Whoever is comfortable showing up and that the birthday person would want there. People you can have fun with and hang out around without much trouble. This is just a small birthday party, so you want to ensure that it's easy to have fun there. 

What Food Should You Bring?

The food shouldn't be anything too complicated. Just some takeout from your favorite restaurant, or a home cooked meal from a friend who's really good at those. Some drinks along with that. Alcoholic drinks aren't a bad idea if you are of age, it is a night of celebration, so why not have a little bit of fun? Just have a selection of drinks that aren't alcoholic so your halal and non-alcoholic friends can enjoy their time at the party too. 

What Are Some of The Things You Can Do at the Party?

There are a bunch of games and activities you can play to make your party more fun. Here are just a few to get some ideas rolling in your head

Game Night

Have a fun time by playing a bunch of board games with everyone else. You might be at each other's throats by the end of the night, but that is what makes it fun to watch. Some of the best party games to play are the classics; monopoly, uno, twister, stuff like that. 

Movie night

Movie nights are great, especially if you start early. You can get a few good movies in before you have to wrap up and go home. Watching a bunch of feel good movies with your friends is so much fun. You can make extra fun if you rent out a theater and watch the movies there.

Tea party

A tea party is a childhood favorite and classic for many. If you or the birthday person were ever fond of tea parties growing up, why not have a small tea party with everyone close to you? Make it extra fancy by adding a dress code so people come dressed as rich people from the 1950s.

Murder Mystery

This does kind of fall under the game night thing, but you can have a murder mystery night all by itself. If you have enough murders to solve, or if the one murder is complex enough to last the whole night. You can theme the murder mystery night too to make it more interesting.

Conclusion

Now that you know the basics of what to do for a great party, go and set up the party of a lifetime. Just remember to be responsible, and that everyone is comfortable. That's all this article has to offer you, now go have fun!!!
