Because parents lead such busy lives the prospect of organising a child's birthday party fills most with a feeling of dread. Don't worry, with a little planning you can even enjoy the party ! The first task you should focus on is the selection of a date and a venue. Everything else will follow on from there. Remember if you are planning to use a specialist party venue then you will have to book well in advance , particularly if it is popular.
When sitting down to draw up the guest list there is the temptation to invite all the class. If you have plenty of space and loads of help then go ahead and invite the whole class. The reality is a little different for most of us. Space , help and money is limited so make sure you lower your child's expectations when it comes to the guest list.
Children love receiving party invitations. They normally take pride of place on fridge doors and memo boards. Make sure you send them in plenty of time. Two to three weeks notice should be sufficient. Any longer and parents can forget. On the invitations make sure you include your mobile number and a request to parents asking them to let you know if their child can attend.
Some birthdays fall in holiday time. This in itself is no big deal , it just means you need to do a little additional planning. Be sure to get all the children's names and telephone numbers so that you can contact them if for any reason you have to cancel the party. Bad weather and a bout of sickness always occur at the worst times !
When planning your party, above all else, have sufficient helpers to help organise games, trips to the loo, handing out food and generally assist when necessary. Don't be under any illusion when kids come to a party they expect a steady stream of games and activities. You cannot run a party single - handed even when the children are older. A minimum of two helpers should be arranged.
Every parent breathes a sigh of relief as the guests leave the party with a smile on their faces. It is hard work but well worth it. Don't assume that everything will just fall into place. To host a memorable birthday party for your child start well in advance by setting a date and booking a venue. Once the party is confirmed in your diary you can relax a bit. The next step is to send the invitations two to three weeks before the party. There is still plenty to do but once the basic plans are in place it will focus your efforts.
