Planning Your Child’s Birthday Party

Your child’s birthday is approaching quicker than you realized. You can't believe an entire year has already passed and your child is going to be another year older, and one year closer to independence. You want to celebrate your child’s birthday and ensure that they have the best day ever. However, in order to throw your child an extraordinary birthday party you must know how to plan a birthday party. Here are some things to consider:

Theme

The first thing you want to do when planning a party for your child is pick the theme. You should consider what your child likes and what your child is interested in. You can ask them what theme they want for their party, but sometimes you may find that this changes day to day. Base it on what you know about your child. You could choose their favorite television show or their favorite sport. The goal is to ensure that your child will have a theme that they won’t forget.

Trampoline Park

Location

You could host your party at your home or at several different places. You can hold the party at the community pool, skating rink, party place, or even a trampoline park like SkyZone or Xdrenaline. Many of these fun centers will offer birthday party packages for the big day to help make your planning much easier. Choosing an outside venue can be a great deal. Some places are all inclusive so everything from the cake to the pizza is all included. You just must show up on time and you get to leave the mess behind after everything is finished. Compare this to having the party at your house where once the party is over it is time to start cleaning.

Fun Center

Guests

The next thing that you want to consider is who to invite to your child’s party. You should make a list. Invite your child’s friends, children of your friends, and family members with kids. Make sure that you don’t have too many guests or too little. Not enough kids can make the party boring and too many can create chaos. Don’t forget to ask your child who they want to invite. Having guests RSVP is a good way to keep count and who to expect.

Invitations

The next thing you want to do is create the invitation. This will obviously have to happen once the exact date and venue are set. When you create the invitations, make sure all the relevant questions are answered. Who is being celebrated? Why are they being celebrated? Where is it being celebrated? What is being celebrated? (third, fourth, fifth birthday, etc.). When is the celebration taking place? Make sure that you include your contact information so that guests can contact you if you have any questions. Make sure that the date, place and time are on the invitations. Then, all you must do is stick them in the mailbox and send them to your guests. Another popular option today is to send invites via email. There are online services like Evite that can help you with. This also can make it very easy for a guest to RSVP.

Party Favors

It is important that you make party bags for your child’s birthday party. The last thing you want is for the children that show up to think that the party was a bust. Children tend to measure the success of a birthday party by how much fun they have and what’s in the party bag. I great parting gift can leave a lasting impression. This is also a good time to carry on with your theme. Add goodies that correlate with your theme. It is also the way that you thank your guests for coming to the party
