Tips for Hosting a Successful Kids Birthday Party

BEFORE THE PARTY

1. When you start planning a birthday party, ask for your child’s input. There are many kids birthday party themes out there, and your child will have fun choosing just the right one. Similarly, give them some input on the guest list: the number of guests they want to have might determine the kind of party you throw.

2. Send out your party invitations two weeks ahead of your event. This gives your guests enough time to arrange their schedules, buy a gift, and RSVP.

3. Plan all of your crafts, games, and activities at least one week ahead of the party. This way you can organize all of your supplies and think through the big day in your head.

4. Order your cake at least 5 days in advance. Some bakeries need this lead time to get things ready.

5. On the morning of the party, put up your decorations, fill any balloons, set up your activities and crafts, pick up the cake, and prepare any food that needs to be made.

DURING THE PARTY

1. As the guests arrive, have out one or two activities that they can do independently until everyone shows up. This is a good time for crafts, and any dress up activities from which you would like to get pictures.

2. Play upbeat mood music to set the tone for your event.

3. Warm up the crowd with any games that can be played independently or at stations.

4. Rev up the excitement with games for the whole group. 5. Take a break with food and cake!

6. If time allows, play another group game to get everyone back together.

7. Finish up with gift time and the handing out of goody bags.

8. Parties following this outline generally last between two and three hours, depending on age and how many things you want to fit in.

9. Follow up your party with thank you notes and any pictures you may have taken of your guests. These make cherished keepsakes.
