All the best parties have a theme. What are you going to choose for yours? Beach party? 1970s disco? Something else? You also need to find somewhere to hold your party. Wherever you decide to have it, it’s probably a good idea to get permission from your parents first.

Next, who are you going to invite: everyone you know or just some of your friends? It’s time to draw up the guest list. Remember: think carefully about how many people you can afford to invite. When your list is ready, you can send out the invitations. Two weeks before the party is the ideal time. Any sooner, and people might forget about the party; any later, and some of your guests might already have other plans. OK, so now you’ve got a fortnight to get it all ready. Don’t panic – it’s plenty of time, but don’t leave everything until the last minute. If you want to hire a DJ, start looking now. Remember that he or she might want you to pay a deposit, so make sure you have the money for that. Then you need to organize the food and decorate the room, although these things can be left until the day before.

Finally, get a good night’s sleep the night before, give yourself a few hours to get the last few things ready and then, most importantly of all, have fun!
