How To Plan A Successful Kids’ Birthday Party

Don’t let a birthday party stress you out! Follow these five simple steps and just enjoy the gathering of friends and family to celebrate your child.

Location

Pick an easy location that requires little to no work. Art studios, music schools and gyms can provide both the activity and the space for food and cake.

Theme

Instead of being super picky with a specific theme, pick a color that your child loves and then buy what you need in any shade of that color. This can also save money and allow you to use leftovers in the future.

Food

Keep it bite size. Food that you can eat without utensils (and standing up for adults) is ideal. Small sandwiches or pizza are always a big hit.

Entertainment

Entertaining the kids for the party is the most important. The goal is for your child to have fun with their friends and family. Check out local art studios, music schools, kids’ gyms and more. 

Dessert

While a beautifully decorated themed cake is always fun, it’s also a lot of work. You have to cut and distribute the cake which takes lots of time. Instead, use cupcakes! You can still put a candle in the cupcakes but they require no utensils or cutting and can be quickly distributed after the iconic “Happy Birthday song.”

Remember, your child will never remember how fancy or intricate your party was. What they will remember is you being present and participating in the fun and the feeling of being surrounded by love with their friends and family.
