If you are the proud parent of delightful children then you will be all too aware of the organisational prowess it takes to create a memorable birthday party.
The whole process of deciding where to go, what to do, and what you can afford can be a little daunting.
So, if you need a bit of help to keep your party planning on track, then this article may just be the answer you're looking for.
What party do you want? This is the first question you (and your child) need to address before you can even consider arranging anything else.
It's impossible to arrange a party if you don't know what that party is.
Speak to your child to see what they want, and if it's feasible, do it.
If it's not, then suggest something that is.
In order to decide on the party you want, you need to look at a few different aspects, this includes:
What arrangements do you need to make? Ok, the party is set in motion.
You have a theme sorted, a venue in mind, and a good idea of what entertainment you'd like.
Now, you have to make the arrangements.
First, you need to book the venue and the entertainer.

Once the bookings are done, you need to sort out the party itself.
This will involve:
Now, you just have to put the icing on the metaphorical cake (and maybe the real one too).
To ensure everything runs smoothly and painlessly, you should consider what could go wrong.
Check whether any of the kids have allergies or special medical requirements, check that you have enough extra food to accommodate for any extra kids that may show up, and check that you have enough entertainment to last the night.
Done all that? Great, put the kettle on and put your feet up...
you've made it.
