Children are easy to plan a birthday party for because they have super imaginations.
Take the opportunity to have fun with the planning and the party will turn out great! All of the children will love the party even more with the extra effort put into it.
A child wants to feel like a king or queen for the day of their birthday party, so this should be your goal.
You know that your child's birthday party was successful if the child and their friends go away from it happy.
You should consult your child to see what they want for a theme.
If they have trouble deciding, choose a few themes yourself and then let them pick from that.
If you ask your child what their expectations for the party are, you may be surprised at how little they really want.
Lots of children only want to pick out the main dish and dessert.
If your child suggests something simple, go with it.
The party will be easier on you all around.
Make sure that you have extra adults on hand if the children are really young.
A child's birthday party will be less stressful if you have helpers around.
Invite parents to stay if they want.
They will be helpful and you may wind up with some new friends.
It can be a sticky situation having a child's party with school friends.
Either invite the whole class, or pass out the invitations outside of school.
Be sure to stick to this rule to eliminate hurting children's feelings.
Have several talks with your child about appropriate behavior and manners.
Your child should be appreciative of all gifts, even if they are duplicates or unwanted.
Tell them to just say thank you and you can exchange them later.
Also, let your child know that their guests should be on their best behavior as well.
Prepping him or her this way will ensure that your child's birthday party will go well for everyone.
Planning crafts or games is of the utmost importance.
Your house will turn into a 3 ring circus with young kids with nothing to do.
They will quickly start to whine, fight, and make your house look like a tornado hit it in no time flat.
A better time will be had by all, at your child's birthday party, if the children are kept occupied.
Have a few extra things up your sleeve just incase some of the things you have planned don't go over very well.
If the kids seem to be losing enthusiasm about an activity, quickly switch to something else.
Keep in mind that a child's party doesn't have to last all afternoon.
Two to four hours is plenty of time for a birthday party.
Stick with the two hours for younger children and three to four hours for older children who can entertain themselves some.
