The Top Four Steps To Planning A Great Birthday Party

  1. Plan plenty of activities and games. You don't want twenty children full of energy with nothing to do.
  2. Planning your party ahead helps take the stress out of the big day. Don't forget to recruit extra help for the big day. You can't do it all.
  3. Let your child help you with the planning process, it is their big day. Don't forget to include them in the plans.
  4. Let your child know what to expect. Talk with them before the big day about the proper reaction to presents (whether they like them or not), and how to behave properly with so many friends and classmates around.

    Hello there,

    I did a Fresh Beat Band birthday party for my son's 2nd birthday from scratch. Is there any way that you would post pictures from this party on your site? Or, if anyone wants to see the pictures, please leave your e-mail address and I would be happy to send you a link.

    Thanks and have a "GREAT DAY".

    Eileen, I would love to feature your pictures either here, or on my kid's blog. Just click on my photo in the upper right hand corner of this lens, or on "Barkely." In the next screen you'll see a "contact me" button, just press that and drop me a note and I'll get with you to get your info. Thanks!

    I will have to do so from home this evening because my "administrator" will not allow me to click on your picture or name. Thanks for wanting to post my pictures.
