Kid’s party planning is something that some parents find easier than others. It’s a chance to get creative and have fun with themes and entertainment ideas. But it can also be full of pressure and stressful to organize. However, even if you don’t enjoy party planning, it’s important that you make it as memorable as possible for your child. They won’t be children forever, and a party is a perfect event to make lots of memories you can both treasure. So to create an unforgettable kids party that will make your child the envy of their friends, try these party planning tips.
Ask your child to help
If you’re worried about choosing the wrong theme or style of party, ask your child to help you plan. No matter what age they are, your children can help you come up with ideas and inspiration for their party. They could tell you what theme they would like, or you could ask them to make their own decorations and invites. You can also discuss the location of where their party could be held and who they want to invite. This will give you a rough guide on how many people you need to prepare food for. Even if they are only able to tell you what kind of cake they would like, this will be a huge help. If you’re still stuck for party inspiration, look online to see what other parents have organized.
It’s all in the details
Some of the most successful kids parties are the ones that have paid attention to the smaller details. So if you’ve got a theme, make sure it is present throughout the event. For instance, a safari themed party could include animal decorations and jungle music. You could play pin the tail on the elephant and provide lion shaped cookies. Get creative and make things yourself to create a cohesive theme that your child will love. It’s these smaller details that will bring your party together and are likely to be the things that your child and their friends remember.
Plan a surprise
One of the best ways to create a memorable birthday party for your child is to plan a surprise for them during the event. You could hire a bust a move party bus for kids or actors to dress up as their favorite Disney characters. You could create an outdoor water park in your yard using swimming pools and slides. Another option is to surprise them with a trip to somewhere unexpected. This could be to a go-karting track or to a nearby zoo. Just remember that a surprise that involves loud noises and shouting might be too scary for small children. So think carefully about a suitable surprise that is age appropriate for your kid and their party guests.
These tips should take the stress out of planning your child’s party, while also making it an event they never forget. The look of joy on their face will make all of your hard work and effort entirely worthwhile.
