5. How will you decorate the room? Think about putting banner outside so that your guests can find you easily. Order banners that match your invitations.

6. Inside, go for banners with messages and birthday wishes for the guest of honour. If you have chosen a theme for the party, then go for decorations in keeping with your theme in order to impress your guests and create a convivial atmosphere.

7. Think about your room layout and how you will organise the space. Make sure you leave enough space for dancing, and that there are enough tables and chairs for everyone. Leave enough space between tables for people to move comfortably around the room.

8. You could offer a gift to all your guests: t-shirts, key rings, cotton bags… as a souvenir of your moment shared!

Of course, a good party needs lots of organisation, time and a bit of money! But it’s worth it if you can offer a moment of happiness to someone you love. So, here are a few tips for the organisation:

1. Choose the place. It can be really nice to have a party at home, but you need to think about the number of guests and the space you have available to accommodate them. If you don’t have the space, you’ll need to find a room to hire (village hall, restaurant, bar…).

2. Once you have chosen the place, you need to send the invitations! You’ll need to send them early enough for all your friends to get themselves organised. Leave an RSVP space on the invitations and add a map and contact details of hotels in the area. If you are organising a themed or surprise party, then don’t forget to warn your guests on the invites!

3. It’s common to send thank you cards at some point during the two weeks following a party. Choose a design that matches your invitations and order them at the same time.

They are a humorous look at ourselves and now can be a fun alternative way to personalise stationery, mugs or t-shirts for example.

Using our design tool you can create caricatures of yourself, your family or friends, your colleagues or even your pets.

At Christmas time you could design your own fun cards to send to your nearest and dearest, and have matching gift tags for your presents!

Put them on note cards and note pads and brighten up your daily correspondence with a bit of humour.
You could also use them to transform an item into a personalised gift, like a t-shirt or tote bag.

If you are organising a hen or stag party, create caricatures of the bride and groom (or of your group of friends) for t-shirts to wear on the night and keep as a souvenir.

The possibilities are endless – use your sense of fun to create an image that best represents the personality of the person (or animal) you are caricaturing. If there are a few of you, you could each choose another person to do and be prepared to have a giggle at the results!
