Planning a Party For Kids - Surefire Ways to Make Your Child Happy
In every party, people (and by people I mean you, the grownup) usually believe that the kids have the most fun.
Why would they, right? A party has food, drinks and sometimes, games.
But what exactly do you need to throw the best kiddie party? Unlike other types of parties, planning one for kids is a lot harder and more stressful.
So get a pen and paper and let's start prepare for the best party your child will ever have! Now let's start with the party theme.
You have to ask yourself right now if you want the party indoors or outside.
Or if you want it in our own home or maybe you want to rent a place.
According to a poll, the most popular kiddie party for girls is a Princess-themed one and for boys, it's a Pirate Party.
Both themes are easy to create; all you need is the necessary decorations and costumes.
But if you really want your daughter or son to have a blast, ask yourself what it is that he or she is obsessed with right now? Is he talking non-stop about GI Joes? Well, a soldier-themed party sounds perfect.
Or does your daughter think that she is Barbie? Yes, a Barbie-themed party it is! Just be creative here, think of what your kid would really enjoy and go from there.
When you have the theme all sorted out, next step is to build a guest list.
Unless this is a surprise party, you may want to include your kid in this process.
Ask your child to list the names of his or her classmates or friends that would be invited to the party.
And then, send out the invitations with your child's name in it, date, time and place of the party and the dress codes or theme.
You should also include your phone number to RSVP.
Although your child is in-charge with the guest list, still, you have to make sure that you can handle the number of children invited.
It is important that you know whether you need to ask for some help with the kids or if you'll do just fine as the party host.
Since you already have the party theme, you would know what the menu would include.
But spaghetti, chicken, pizza and ice cream are the favorites.
You also have to remember to serve something healthy like fresh fruits (because, let's face it, kids aren't fans of healthy foods).
Every kid party won't be complete if there are no games.
But if you decided to have a clown or any mascot, for that matter, you may want to cross out this item in your checklist.
But if you won't have those, the best party games are the ones picked out by your child.
You're not eight anymore so you really won't know what a kid would enjoy.
So ask your child what he or she enjoys with their friends.
Make some adjustments if you have to and include that in your party activities.
When it comes to prizes, you better be prepared.
Everyone should go home with a smile.
Parties are supposed to be a fun and enjoyable time.
Much more if it is a party for kids.
So the last item on the checklist that you have to have is the goody bags.
Again, on deciding what to put here, you have to consider the theme of the party.
If it's a pirate party, a nice idea is to buy small treasure chests and stuff them with some candies.
