Planning a birthday party should be daunting but with so many websites out there to help, organizing one can be done just by sitting right in front of your laptop because you can now search and book all the suppliers you need in a matter of minutes.
Since my son’s party is going to happen three weeks from now and yet everything is booked and set (thanks to my Gantt), I’ve decided to blog about party venues to also ease other moms out there who are planning to celebrate their child’s birthday.

There are so many things to consider when choosing a venue. Think of the following:
1. Capacity
How many guests are you inviting? Will it be a buffet, or a sit down meal? These items will help you determine the size of the venue you require.
2. LocationIs it accessible to your guests? Do they have enough parking space? Is it along the traffic belt? Will it be easy for your suppliers to bring all the good and services you need?
3. AvailabilityBefore you contact a venue, identify several possible dates for your party.Then you decide when is the best one. Book early.
4. Budget
Your budget will have a major impact on nailing down a shortlist of venues. Be sensible; don’t try to impress your guests by getting an expensive venue and then later on, you’ll find you have little left in the kitty for food and other entertainment
These are the venues I have included in my shortlist:
