Planning the best birthday party for your kids is not an easy task. You have to make sure that everything is in order, only then the party can be a success. Birthday parties cannot be planned in one day. For making the party a success you need to plan for it well in advance. Here are some
tips given for dads how they can plan for Birthday Parties for their little one’s happiness.
Chalk Out a List of Invitees
Make a list of friends of your kids who are coming. As for infants, they cannot come alone so you have to invite their moms too if not both the parents. Teachers of the kids can also be invited to the party. So plan the party accordingly, and send the invites to them either by E-mail, or by calling or by personally meeting them if possible.
Decide the Time of the Party
This is a very important thing to decide the time of the party, whether it will be a morning party or an evening party. For small kids it is better to arrange a morning party so that the party gets over by afternoon and the moms can take their kids home and can take them to bed early.
Plan What Will Happen in the Party
As it is a kids’ party so it will be incomplete if there is no arrangement for
party games. After having meals the kids would definitely like to play some interesting games, so there must be some arrangements for party
games both indoors and outdoors whichever is possible. At that time when the kids are busy playing, the parents can sit and gossip among themselves.
Theme Party
Theme parties look very adorable. A theme brings uniqueness in the party. All the small girls dressed in similar dresses and all the small gentlemen dressed in similar party wear looks very adorable. So if you have themes in your mind inform the parents of the small kids about the themes beforehand so that they can also get ample time to prepare themselves.
Organise the party menu well in advance. As it is a kids’ party do not make the menu too rich and spicy. Do not forget to add chocolates and candies as starters. You can also include some gimmicky party foods like cupcakes resembling clowns or popcorn with honey, biscuits that look like flowers. These kinds of foods attract the kids very much and their happiness is the key to success for the party.
Gifts
Along with buying gifts for your own kid buy gifts for the little ones also who will come to the party as little guests. It is a sweet gesture and will buy you all the happiness.
Decoration
Plan how the venue will be decorated well in advance. The decorations should be in such a way that it attracts the attention of the little guests. Decorations with colourful flowers, candies and toys can serve your purpose.
Cake
The most important thing for a
birthday party is the birthday cake. Order your cake well in advance so that the most important thing is not missed out. Or if you are planning to bake your cake on your own give it a rehearsal before the final baking so that at the last moment you face no problem.
Dads should make out a check list including all the above things to make the birthday bash for the kids a successful and grand party. The kids will remember all these precious moments all their lifetime and this will be a moment to cherish.
