How to plan a birthday party with fireworks: Step by step guide

Are you looking forward to plan a birthday party with the best preparations? A celebration featuring a fireworks show as well? Here’s a step by step guide on how to make it a memorable one.

Fireworks are used for almost every celebration- an epitome of joy and togetherness, people love to watch any fireworks display- whether it’s a wedding, a gender reveal party, New Years Eve or even a bonfire night, fireworks truly stand out.

Before diving deep into the details, it’s important to truly focus on how to make your party a safe one.

Here’s a brief guide:

Step 1:

Decide on the location for your birthday party setup:

Deciding the ideal location for your setup may be a difficult choice to make, want to make it an easy one? Here’s what you should think over:

1) For a fireworks display, choose a venue with a huge garden with an open area. Viewers should watch fireworks with a great distance so you’ll need a vast area.

Select an area which is far away from trees or even buildings. The distance which is required to ensure safety is typically 8-25 meters but that totally depends on which fireworks you’re using eg Catherine Wheels, Roman Candles etc.

Step 2:

Go through the laws of fireworks in your country

For the UK, the laws to set up fireworks is that they are not to be set off after the stated time, 11pm. However, they can be prolonged to late night- means midnight on Bonfire Night, whereas till 1am on New Year’s Eve as well as Diwali and Chinese New Year.

You can only buy and use fireworks if you’re above the age of eighteen.

For a huge party, you might need to take consent from local council.

It’s essential to follow the general rules on how to deal with fireworks.

Step 3:

Choose those fireworks that go with your display

This may sound fun, it sure is but selecting the best fireworks to truly align with your event can be challenging. To make your party a memorable one, select the ones you truly like and are in accordance with your setup. but make sure to buy from reputable, licensed and known sellers. For fireworks, Big Shotter Fireworks is what you can go with. Why? We’re licensed and provide completely safe to use fireworks for our customers without any compromise on quality.

For birthday party setups, cake fireworks are usually recommended.

Other than that, fountains may be an ideal choice as they are great for family gatherings, do not produce loud noises and go great with young people.

Sparklers, on the other hand create long lasting memories with their shine.

Step 4:

Think according to your required budget

You can plan a huge fireworks display or a small display but that totally depends on your budget. If you want a tiny display which includes sparklers or cake or even fountains your budget may be between £50 to £100. For the best ever display for a huge gathering, your budget may be above £500.

However, Big Shotter Fireworks aim at providing our customers with an affordable price range and a cost friendly experience without even worrying about the quality.

Step 5:

Plan a schedule of your birthday party

You should pre plan your birthday party. Here’s what you need to keep in mind:

1) What should be the time for arrival of guests?

You should plan a time for the arrival of your guests that aligns with your fireworks display set off during the night.

2) When should the food, appetizers and drinks be served?

Serve the guests after an hour of their arrival.

3) When should start with the cake cutting?

It’s preferred to cut and serve cake to your guests soon after they’re done with eating.

4) When should i start my fireworks display?

You should set off your fireworks after cake cutting, serving foods and drinks since that is the ideal time. That’s what people will be waiting for. Soon after the fireworks display, you can play games or enjoy with your guests.

Since fireworks are the star of the show- keep the guests well settled and safe before the show’s about to begin and boost up their excitement.

Step 6:
