9:47 AM
As your child’s birthday approaches, you know that you’ll want to spoil him or her and throw the best birthday party ever. The problem - where do you start for planning?
A kid’s birthday party is an adventure. From the moment you start planning until the last guest leaves the house, what you have in mind can change in an instant. That is because a child’s mind can change in an instant. However, don’t let the planning stage get the better of you. Enjoy the whole process as you plan your child's birthday party.
To help you out so you can throw the most successful birthday party ever, here are five tips to consider.
Decide on a General Theme
Most children’s birthday parties will have a theme of some sort. It could be anywhere from princesses and superheroes to their favorite television character. Having a theme will give you an idea for decorations and activities to incorporate into the party.
Plan Fun Activities
A birthday party for children will need to have activities to keep them entertained. Unlike adult parties where people can sit around the table and chat all night, children need to be entertained as much as possible.
Once you have a theme, come up with different activities and games that you know your child will love. The party is for them, after all. You could go classic with Pin the Tail on the Donkey or play their favorite board game. If you want something different, you could go out somewhere or try a scavenger huntaround town.
Invite Close Friends First
If your child has a few really close friends that they hang out with all the time, those are the people that he or she will want at the party. You’ll want to plan a party so that all of the close friends can attend first. Then extend the invitation out to other friends or classmates that your child likes to play with.
When inviting kids to a birthday party, you’ll want to do your best to avoid hurting any feelings. That is why you should plan a party that is either for just close friends and family, only the girls, only the boys, or invite everyone in your child’s class. Leaving out someone could cause issues at school and with the parents.
Provide Snacks
Just as much as the kids will want to play, they will also want to snack. If they are playing games that involve a lot of energy, you’ll want to provide food for when they get hungry. Have a mixture of some healthier options, as well as candy and other treats. Be aware of any food allergies kids have before you start preparing your snacks.
Party Favors
With a kid’s birthday party, it’s a good idea to have party favors for each childas they leave. It’s a way for you and your child to say thank you for coming and bringing a present. Party favors can be simple or elaborate, depending on what you want and the allotted budget. A party favor can quickly become a treasured memory for all the kids that attend the birthday party.
