Dear teachers,

Is the following sentence correct or how would you change it?

I'm going to arrange big fireworks for midnight which will cause a really special effect to the party.


Would it be: give a special effect to the party
or
cause a special effect on the party ?

I'm a bit lost here and would appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance.

I would suggest:
