The queen celebrates her birthday in the month of June and so we thought we would talk to you about throwing a party that’s fit for royalty. We all have that one friend or member of the family that likes to be treated like a princess or prince and would love a fabulous party with all the trimmings. So here are some tips and tricks to ensure a smooth-running birthday bash and happy guests.

Theme – An occasion like this deserves a great theme to get people talking and drum up some excitement. To keep it classy, go for a great Gatsby theme or black and gold colour code. If your guests get involved it will make the party a great success and you’ll have people talking about it for months to come.

Entertainment – Keep your guests entertained with the perfect band or DJ. Cater to that special someone’s favourite music and bands and if you’re not sure what they are, then make a point of finding out. Other entertainment routes to go down are magic, photo booths and even a great selection of fireworks.

Guest list – You will want to ensure that your guest list includes everyone that needs to be there and more. It’s always a good idea to over invite as there will be a percentage of people that won’t be able to make it. Always invite way ahead of the party date so that people can plan in advance and you can too.

Food – Now of course what party is a successful birthday bash without incredible food to go with it and that’s of course where Island Stories come in.
