Birthday Party Planning 101: A Parent’s Guide



Is the thought of planning the next birthday party for your child already giving you sleepless nights? It doesn’t have to! When you’ve been planning birthdays for a while, you get the hang of it eventually, but it can still be extremely stressful.
This is true especially when you have to do it completely on your own, without any help. That’s why it’s always nice to call in professional help, because they can take care of the major chunk of it. On top of that, you can also sit back and actually enjoy celebrating your child’s birth.
Pleasing children can be hard, and with so many children together you have to find ways to keep them entertained and well fed.
Here are some tips to help you get started.

Pick the right venue

· Choosing the right venue is important. It should be spacious enough to accommodate all the children and let them run around and play while being visible at all times.
· It should also be as close to your house as possible, so you can be there on time and don’t have to stress too much about getting there to set up.
· It’s also important to not spend a large portion of your budget on the venue, or else you could have to compromise on other things like food!

Stick to snacks

· Speaking of food, children rarely sit down and eat, especially when they are so excited about seeing each other. You can serve bite-size snacks and have chips and popcorn so they can eat them on the go.
· Have healthy snack options as well so that children don’t get too hyped up on sugar.
· Also serve season-friendly drinks such as hot chocolate during winters and lemonade for summer birthdays.

Have plenty of entertainment options

It can be hard to come up with games for children and tiring to host a party AND the games at the same time. You can hire entertainers as guests to your party because as experts, they know how to keep children engaged throughout the event. Some also perform elaborate shows like science shows or bubble shows which can be educational as well.

Be smart about your guest list

Your budget determines how many children you want to invite. Depending on your child’s age, you might also have to invite a parent to chaperone the children.
If your child is very popular, it’s important to make sure you don’t exclude anyone when sending out invites. Some schools also have rules about making it mandatory to invite everyone in the class.
Don’t forget to include your child in the party planning process. Ask them their likes and dislikes beforehand so they can feel a part of it as well. If you truly want a hassle-free party experience, trust the experts!
