1. Choose the Perfect Spot<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Location, location, location!<\/strong> If you can’t host the party at home, make sure to book an appropriate spot early enough. You may want to check if your day care or the local community centre is renting out. Make sure the space is child-friendly<\/strong> and safe<\/strong>. If you’re having the party outside<\/strong>, plan for potential summer showers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

2. Make It Pretty<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Be it your house or the nearby park, make sure to decorate it properly<\/strong>. There are millions of DIY birthday decorations<\/a> for kids that you can adapt according to your kid’s favourite colour, cartoon, book, etc. Ask your little party planner<\/strong> to help you make the decorations. Have fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Start with a Fun Invitation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Get kids excited about what’s coming<\/strong>. If you want to impress, go with a personalized birthday invitation<\/a> that you can print at home<\/strong>. Make sure you ask for an RSVP<\/strong>. You will want to know how many little rascals are showing up so you can plan for food and drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. You Need Accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Make the kids remember the day. Buy face painting kits<\/strong> and let them be Spidermen, princesses, and tigers for a day. Don’t forget to get birthday hats, name tags, and stickers<\/a>, preferably ones that kids can colour themselves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Buy Cheap<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You don’t want to be running around, worrying about your new plates breaking or a white tablecloth getting covered in chocolate cake. Buy single-use and relax<\/strong>. Invite the parents that drop off their kids for a drink. Use paper party accessories<\/strong> that will make the clean-up afterward easier and won’t harm the planet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Plan for Activities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You’ll want to organize something that will keep the kids occupied<\/strong>. Colouring books<\/a> are a great idea, especially personalized ones that let the birthday boy or girl be the star<\/strong> of the day. Collect kids’ designs at the end and make a scrapbook<\/strong> for your kid to receive alongside the gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIP:<\/strong> Make sure there’s an adult at every activity station of the party in case kids need help. Offer glitter pens and stickers<\/strong> to double the colouring fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Music<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s a party without music? Plan for an age-appropriate soundtrack<\/strong> to the kiddie fiesta. Spotify offers cute playlists <\/a>that will make your kids groove. Let the rhythm get them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

8. Organize a Group Gift <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Give your kid something that will age well<\/a>. A book of birthday wishes<\/strong>, like the personalized birthday book by Hooray Heroes<\/a>, is a great keepsake for a child to grow up with. If you get it signed by everybody at the party<\/strong> \u2013 even better! The birthday boy or girl will have a great souvenir of their amazing birthday party<\/strong> forever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Party Favours!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kids love to take things home. Also, a good party favour<\/strong> is the single best piece of home d\u00e9cor<\/strong>, reminding you of a great day you spent. Make sure to offer cute and fun party favours kids can actually use. If you have some extra time, personalize the guests<\/strong> before the party and offer them colo<\/a>u<\/a>ring pages<\/a> to take home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throw in a birthday cake<\/strong> and a few board games<\/strong> and you have it \u2013 the happiest of birthdays for your kiddo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
