A-Zs of party planning

Ask your child what theme/ party activities excite them

Bubbles are great at parties

Cake is often best homemade

Decorate with tons of balloons

Entertainment makes the party easier for you ie clowns, bouncy castles, magic shows

Food is best kept simple ie mini sandwiches, chips, juice, mini hotdogs

Goodie bags are given at the end or give 1 larger item like a ball or beanie baby

Hire someone to help ie a babysitter

Invite a manageable number of kids

Jellybean guess, hunt or as table decoration

Keep it simple

Laugh often

Music really makes a party

Never make the party longer than a couple of hours

Open presents at the end

Pictures are a great memory or thank you card idea

Quiet ideas are great ie story, crafts, playdoh

Remember to make the birthday child 1st for games, cake etc

Spin the bottle for present opening

Tattoos and face painting are fun for all ages

Use things from around the house for tossing games etc

Very unexpected guests sometimes show up ie neighbors, siblings- have extras

Well planned parties always turn out best ie rainplan, timeline

X-citement is contagious- be prepared for the high energy

Yes- you can do it!

Z- get some zzzs before the big day- especially the birthday child
