1. Pick a theme
An themed party can be an amazing way to commemorate your child’s special occasion and give them the spotlight they deserve, but when selecting one it’s essential that you consider their age, interests and venue as well as budget constraints.
Engagement should be key when planning a party for children, so involve them in selecting a theme that reflects their unique character and search online and home magazines for ideas tailored specifically to this celebration.
2. Plan a party at home
Hosting parties at home may save money, but it can be time-consuming. From searching for decorations to driving all over town in search of supplies, planning can become overwhelming quickly.
Set a date that works with your schedule, then consult with friends to make sure that they can attend. It is often possible for children to experience last-minute conflicts or illnesses so be prepared.
Create a cooking schedule and list all foods that can be made ahead of time to reduce stress on party day.
3. Buy a box of cake mix
Kids love having sweet treats after an enjoyable party, making cake an indispensable must. Be sure to choose flavors that most guests will like for maximum effect.
Plan ahead. Make a list of all food that must be purchased and prepared, to avoid last-minute runs to the store or forgetting an ingredient. Also be sure to purchase disposable plates, silverware and cups so as to avoid having to clean up plastic scraps after the meal is served – this will make the day less hectic!
4. Look for deals
Kids don’t care if the streamers cost one rupees or ten; all they want to do is have fun! Find deals at your local birthday party planner in Indirapuram store to find decorations and goody bags to match the theme of your party.
Skipping extras like face painters and balloon twisters and inviting guests to contribute for themselves instead can save both costs and make your guest list smaller, as this way everyone is contributing their share. Have them bring food, drinks or a gift for the birthday child as this is a great way to keep costs under control and reduce guest count too.
5. Go to a park
Reducing children’s stress by getting them outdoors and active is surefire way to ensure a successful birthday celebration. A park birthday party offers casual fun with stylish details to tie everything together perfectly.
Decorate the area to suit the theme of your party, using balloons and banners or cupcake toppers that match it. Signs pointing toward food tables and guest books will help your guests easily locate them.
Birthday Party Planner in Ghaziabad offers themed birthday parties in both Ghaziabad and Indirapuram featuring theatre teachers as well as activities customized specifically to your child’s favorite movies, books and music.
6. Make your own invitations
If you don’t have time to create invitations yourself, opt for digital options instead. That way you can collect RSVP’s quickly while staying within budget.
Dependent upon the age and guest list for your child’s party, additional supplies may be required to make their event enjoyable for everyone involved. Consider food allergies when considering this element – and ask guests who RSVP that any if any allergies need be communicated to you immediately so as to be properly accommodated.
If you want character plates, cups, napkins and utensils at an affordable price, opt for matching color schemes rather than the characters themselves to save yourself hundreds of dollars.
7. Have a goody bag
Gift each guest something related to your party theme – it will add extra excitement for them and make their experience at your event that much sweeter!
Prank kits can make sleepover parties extra entertaining, or mini whoopee cushions are an easy way to keep kids amused.
Card games such as Uno or Old Maid provide older children with entertainment, while mini puzzles or jigsaws add variety and fun.
8. Take photos
Photographs are essential in capturing all of life’s precious moments, so designating one as the birthday child to serve as photographer ensures no significant events such as blowing out candles or opening presents are missed!
Photos of the party itself should also be included – decorations, cake, table settings etc – it looks great to include these in an album alongside photos of your children but remember to live in the moment without constantly looking through your viewfinder!
