How to choose birthday party venues
When it comes to parties, there is nothing better than having a good birthday party. Whilst many people choose to have parties at home, for others wanting one with many guests, this is certainly not a practical idea and other avenues have to be looked at. This article details out how to choose birthday party venues.

Things to consider
When choosing a venue for a party, a number of different factors need to be taken into consideration.
Who is the party for?
Always consider who the party is being thrown for. For instance, hiring place that has a licensed bar for kids' parties could be most inappropriate. In fact, many venues will still hire out a room during hours that are not normally associated with adult parties and this may well lower the cost. Similarly, something like a 30th birthday party could be quite a dull affair for some if the venue chosen is inappropriate, such as a village hall with no licensed bar facilities at all.
Cost of the venue
Set yourself a budget and try not to deviate from it by too much. You may choose a suitable venue but when booking it, the person speaking on behalf of the place where you wish to have the party at might offer other tempting offers such as fancy decorations, a disco and so on, which could increase the cost to a certain extent. If you plan on having something like a disco, many places will allow you to book your own music which will cut overheads.
Planning ahead
Be sure to plan well in advance for the party that you wish to throw. A party which is thrown together at the last minute might find you struggling to find a venue that suits your needs, especially as popular venues are often
pre-booked well in advance.
Invitations
As with booking the venue early, be sure to hand out invitations as early as possible. Invitations handed out too close to the event might lead to potential guests unable to attend due to other plans or engagements. There is nothing worse than throwing a party for someone with hardly any guests being able to make it.
