Tips for planning your birthday party in Sydney

Planning a birthday party, be it for yourself or a loved one – it is indeed very exciting but also a lot of hard work. To make sure that your event is a hit amongst the attendees, you must plan and prepare sufficiently!

While HeadBox can help you find a venue on short notice, we always recommend you finalise the venue months in advance so you have the choice to select the one you like the most.

Here's our top tips to stay on top of your party planning:

  1. Set a budget: The first step to planning a successful birthday event is to set a budget which will cover everything from venue hire to catering, decorations, entertainment and more.
  2. Decide on catering: Food is an essential part of any social gathering. Some venues allow for external catering while others provide everything in-house.
  3. Plan your entertainment: A good way to ensure your guests are having the best time at your birthday event is to factor in entertainment like a live band or DJ performance.
  4. Invite your guests: It’s a good idea to send out your invitations well in advance to allow your guests time to save the date. Your invitations should include all the details such as the location, timings and theme, if there is one.

There are so many awesome birthday party venues in Sydney. Whether you prefer the atmosphere of a local pub or the idea of a boozy harbour cruise excites you, Sydney has so much to offer. Check out Sydney's birthday party venues listed in our collection where you’ll find everything from intimate restaurants to rooftop bars with city skyline views as well as multipurpose function spaces.

Frequently asked questions

We recommend you book at least 6 to 4 months in advance. Popular and high-in-demand venues in Sydney get reserved quickly and much in advance. For instance: if your child's birthday falls on a weekday - you can pick the weekend before or after. This way you will have plenty of time for other preparations and send out the RSVPs in time for the final head count.

While this is subject to each venue, this may be possible if you book the venue plenty in advance – this allows the venue to not take any other bookings for the day of your event. However, if you do reserve the whole venue – the cost of hiring the space/minimum spend may be higher since the venue cannot make revenue from any other guests for the period of your party. If you are unable to find a venue that allows you to reserve the whole space, don't worry – there are many venues which offer private and secluded function rooms in Sydney. So you can have privacy while enjoying the party with your guests!
