• Start by choosing your 50th birthday theme. This will help guide your decisions in selecting party supplies. Whether they are specific 50th supplies or those that are somewhat generic that go with anything, you’re covered.
• Secondly, decide on your guest list. Your party numbers will always be estimates as many may not RSVP until the last minute or may not respond at all. Suggest a date by which you would like guests to respond. This will help you to gain a general sense of your numbers.
• Third, finalize your menu. Many of the 50 milesone supplies you need for your perfect day will depend upon the sort of food you decide to serve. For example if you are serving ice cream, you’ll need bowls & spoons. If dessert is cupcakes or assorted bars and squares, dessert plates and napkins are more the order of the day. Don’t forget to think through your beverage offerings. Will you be serving wine, punch, soda in cans, or beer in bottles? Will you need cups for water or will mini water bottles take care of it? Walk through the party in your mind, thinking about each appetizer, drink, dessert, or meal item that will be served. List the utensils or supplies the guests will need to eat or drink each selection on your menu.
• Next comes the fun part—picking out your colors and designs. Your order of party supplies and 50th tableware will be most accurate when you have already worked through the above steps. Save yourself the hassle of having to place multiple orders by carefully considering all of your party needs.
• Don’t forget your decorations, prizes, and favors! As you are planning out the supplies you will need for serving food and beverages, start to think about how you will decorate your party space. Order streamers, banners, confetti, and balloons along with your 50th supplies. Fun, well-placed decorations add to the spirit of the party. Don’t forget to decorate your serving table and other surfaces throughout the party space.
• Lastly, find a few party favors that reflect the theme of the event and that give your guests a little reminder of the fun times they had. Using your RSVPs, try to estimate the number of party attenders. Add 5-10 extra to be sure that no guest leaves empty handed. You may also want to save a favor for special invitees who were unable to make the event.
