1. Set a Theme: The first step in planning a birthday party show is to decide on a theme. This could be anything from a specific decade (80s, 90s), a favorite movie or TV show, or even a specific color scheme. Having a theme will make it easier to plan decorations, costumes, and activities.2. Plan the Entertainment: As the host, your friend can decide what type of entertainment she wants for her party show. This could include live music, a DJ, a stand-up comedian, or even a game show. Make sure to book the entertainment well in advance to ensure availability.3. Create a Schedule: To keep the party organized and on track, create a schedule for the evening. This should include the start and end times, as well as any planned activities or performances. Leave some room for flexibility, but having a schedule will help keep things running smoothly.4. Decorate the Venue: Depending on the venue, your friend may need to decorate the space to fit the theme of the party show. This could include balloons, streamers, banners, and other decorations. Get creative and have fun with it!5. Plan Interactive Activities: To keep guests engaged and entertained, plan some interactive activities that fit the theme of the party. This could include a dance contest, trivia games, or even a costume contest.6. Food and Drinks: No party is complete without food and drinks. Your friend can decide if she wants to provide a full meal or just snacks and appetizers. Make sure to have plenty of options for guests with dietary restrictions.7. Invite Guests: Once all the details are in place, it's time to invite guests. Your friend can send out invitations via email, social media, or even create physical invitations to hand out.8. Have a Photo Booth: A great addition to any party is a photo booth. Set up a designated area with props and a camera for guests to take fun photos throughout the night.9. Don't Forget the Cake: No birthday party is complete without a cake. Your friend can either make her own or order one from a bakery. Make sure to have candles and a lighter for the birthday girl to blow out.10. Enjoy the Show: The most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the party show. Your friend will be the star of the night, so make sure she feels special and celebrated. Take lots of photos and create lasting memories.
