Preparing a kids' party can be daunting,
and because there’s too much to plan. Where should you have it? What kind of
food will the children like? How about the entertainment who will handle that?
But there's no need to stress -- children are easy to please. Believe it or
not, they just want games a simple entertainment. No need to stress out. Here
are some hot tips on how you can throw a memorable and fun children’s party.
First things first: what does your child
want?
This party is about the CHILDREN. So this
means that what they want matters most. They won’t have a grand time if they
won’t get the party that you are throwing. If they are currently into
superheroes, then a superhero themed party will be the best. If they are young
and won’t probably remember the party, then a simple mascot and clowns
entertainment will probably do.
Set a budget
Make sure that you have the right budget.
Plan for the money and not the grandeur. Yes, it’s fun to flex your child’s
birthday party but remember that finances still comes in first. Determining
your budget can be your vision to what the party is going to be.
Pick the date
The date of the party is important. Make
sure that key figures are available. You also would want the invites to be given
ahead of time so that people can put the birthday on their schedule and attend
on time. You would want to make sure that everyone will go to the party.
Sending the invites ahead of time will be the best.
Pick the best entertainment
Of course, the entertainment will be the
center of the attention. Hire a kids party
entertainer who can provide wholesome fun and entertainment for the
children. It will keep them away from boredom, will give them a memorable time
of fun and laughter.
Adult section
Remember to put a space for the adults to
mingle and eat. You can put alcoholic drinks and fun adult food there. You can
keep the space cozy and warm for the adults to mingle to.
Decide whether your house will be the venue
This depends on how much space you have and
how much effort you want to put in. Home parties are more work for you, but
great if you're the creative type. A home party is also a great way to save
money because you can control how much you spend on food and decorations.
Meanwhile, having it outside or in another location can expand the
possibilities of the property.
Get the venue
If you decide to use a venue, look for one
that suits your child's interests. Indoor play gyms, bounce houses and
children's museums are great options. They can book up months in advance, so
plan early!
Create a guest list
Make sure to invite the whole class of your
kid’s preschool to avoid any hurt feelings. Also do not forget to add in their guardians
who are going to come to the party. Aside from this, remember to invite your
relatives and their kids too.
Make it short
Keeping the party short and sweet can lead
to its success. Kids have a short attention span and keeping the whole thing longer
than usual can lead to snores and yawns.
Serve classics
Make sure to serve food that every child would
like. Spaghetti, fried chicken, fries, and ice cream are just a few staples
that you can serve to keep the party going and tummies very happy.
