Party Planning Tips to Run a Successful Birthday
Party

• A little planning goes a long way
• Hosting any party can be a bit overwhelming, but
  running a successful kids birthday party can
  feel like juggling with fireworks!
• The good news is that with good preparation, any
  party can be pulled off with a smile on
  everyones face. To help you out, here are a few
  tips to keep in mind to plan and run a smooth
  kids birthday party.
• Have a plan
• A great kids birthday party plan should include
  activities and backup activities or prop
  replacements in case something unexpected should
  happen.
• Create a flexible timeline for the party so that
  you arent running late at the end or rushing
  through the important parts (like cake!).
• If you are planning an outside party or
  activities then definitely plan to have a rain
  date and/or back up location planned.
• If you are planning the party at a venue, ensure
  that you have booked it well in advance (2-3
  months) so that you get the date and time you
  prefer to hold the party instead of whats
  available at the last minute.

• Plan for helping hands
• Character entertainers can be a great way to
  engage children of all ages during a party. It
  gives them a focus and plenty of activities to
  keep them busy for the duration of the party.
• Plan to have older children and extra adults on
  hand to help out too you will be very thankful
  for the support, especially at the beginning, end
  and during clean-up times.
• Plan for extras
• Despite best intentions, you never know when
  there will be extra mouths to feed or extra
  children to blend into the party. Make sure that
  you have extra food and party favours just in
  case.
• Planning a few extra activities can also be a
  lifesaver if the original activities are over too
  quickly or arent as engaging as you imagined
  when you saw them on Pinterest!
• Plan to be ready early
• When your guests arrive, you want to be in a
  position to greet them and take the time to
  welcome the children into the party with the
  proper amount of attention. Plan to have
  everything ready in the morning or even the night
  before. You will be glad you did!
• If you are having a party at a venue, be sure to
  ask what time you can be there to set up for the
  party.

• Plan for the unplanned
• Ask about allergies, special needs or concerns
  before planning the activities and food options.
• Be aware and always ask parents and guardians
  about allergies! Try to plan food for all of the
  kids coming and ensure that nothing can cause
  serious reactions and serve food that all
  children can eat together so no one feels left
  out.
• Also, if you are having kids come with any
  special needs ask their parents how you can best
  accommodate and include them, the parents will
  love you for it!
