Birthday Party Tips
Helpful Tips to a Successful Party
- Plan ahead! Don't save all the decorating and errands for the day of the party. A happy host and hostess is essential for a successful party. Simplify when you can, ask friends and relatives for help with errands and decorating!
- Time. Parties don't need to last three hours. Toddlers and young children tend to get tired from all the excitement so plan for the party to last a maximum of two hours, and not too late in the day when the little ones are tired. Children who are not tired tend to be happier.
- Budget. You need not spend next months wages on the birthday party. Toddlers and young children enjoy being with other children the most, so if you can't afford the clowns or magic act, don't fret. Your child and his friends will probably enjoy chasing soap bubbles just as much, and for a fraction of the cost.
- Take photos. In the excitement of it all, a parent can forget to take pictures! You'll all love to look years later at the photos of the special day. Having a couple close friends or relatives take photos for you is a good idea if you are going to be busy cutting the cake, helping with opening the presents, etc.
- Games. Keep games simple and short. It's best not to play games where the children need to share a blindfold as it can spread germs from one to the next. Having games that don't require prizes is a good idea with young children as often times you'll find they get upset if they don't win a prize. Nothing can disrupt a party more than a child who is wailing over not having won a prize. A take home treat or treat bag for all is a great idea, but pass them out as the child is walking out the door so children don't dump out the contents and you spend the rest of the party trying to find what they've lost.
- Age Appropriate. Keep the party theme, games, and food age appropriate. Remember to plan the party around your child's likes and dislikes, not your own!

Parties Gone Mad!
Parents spending too much on kid's birthdays?
Have the party at your home instead of renting a park or other venue.
Do arts and crafts at the party! Kids will love decorating their own favor bags and placemats, putting together their own ice cream sundaes or decorating sugar cookies, or making clay animals or mobiles from sticks and string!
Keep the party favors and decorations simple. You can make some great decorations from cardboard stars and tin foil! Kids love the basics and getting a favor bag at the end of the party with bouncy balls, soap bubbles, and other dollar store goodies will bring smiles while saving you money!
Make your own birthday cake! A cake doesn't have to be expensive to be memorable. Having your child help frost a cake and sprinkle it with various colors of M&Ms can be more fun and more memorable than a store bought cake!
Entertainment! It doesn't have to cost you a fortune, you need not hire ponies or clowns. Kids will have just as much fun playing bean bag toss, running under the garden sprinkler, having an older sibling or mom doing face painting, playing tug of war, and other all time favorites.
