Two weeks is enough time for a home construction birthday if you make the ordering decisions first. Leave fresh food and final setup until the last few days.
Write down the guest count, room size, party time and budget before shopping. Those four details prevent most duplicate purchases.
14 to 10 days before
Send invitations, confirm the guest list and order the items that define the room: tableware, tablecover, banner, balloons and favour bags. Read each listing for both the product name and the quantity included.
Choose two games and one quiet backup. Decide whether adults will stay so you can count food and seating accurately.

2 days to party morning
Set up the banner and tablecover, prepare make-ahead food and charge the phone you will use for photos. Inflate balloons only when you have a safe place to store them and follow the package instructions.
On party morning, finish fresh food, place drinks, take room photos, then clear the entrance. Keep scissors, candles, matches and balloon scraps away from children.
After the party
Put food away first, then collect rubbish and recycling. Save reusable tableware, ribbons and plain decorations in a labelled bin.
Write down how much food was left and which activity children enjoyed. Those notes make the next birthday much easier.
