When it comes to planning for your little one’s birthday party, I’m sure you want to make it as memorable as possible. After all, turning another year older is a huge milestone that they want to cherish with their loved ones. And I’m sure that your child has been begging for the best party ever, complete with games and food for their friends and family to enjoy!
However, it can get quite daunting with all the options laid out, so you wouldn’t know where to start! That’s why I did the research to help you out. So read on as I show you how to make a kid’s birthday party memorable!
Wondering where to begin when planning your kid’s birthday party? Here are some awesome ideas:
1. Learn What Your Kid Wants
Before anything else, you’ll want to know what your kid wants for his party. You want to make it memorable not only for his loved ones but for the celebrant as well! While many kids are fine with whatever birthday celebration you put on, I’m sure they have an idea of what the perfect party may be, from the theme to the cake.
You have to know what they want in their party and what they expect from it. Let them be involved with the planning so it teaches them a sense of being a grown-up, as well as some organizational skills along the way! Plus, they’ll be happy with the turnout.
2. Check Your Budget
Once you’ve got the party theme and main idea planned out, the next thing to figure out is how much you’re able to spend on it. I did the math and parents would spend an average of $250 for a kid’s birthday party, including all the food, decor, and goodie bags.
If you’re tight on a budget, there are still ways to save a few dollars here and there. For starters, you can choose to spend the party at home in your backyard rather than to spend it in a function room. Or, you can have home-cooked meals and bake your own cake (with your child helping!).
Figuring out which new piece of tech is the best for your little young one can be difficult. Why not buy an electric ride on car, they would be perfect for a child aged between 5-10.
3. Who to Invite and When
Another thing to look into when making the budget is the number of kids attending. Some parents invite the entire class, while others choose to have their child decide to make it more fun and comfortable for them.
If the kids are young, then it’s best to set the party during the early afternoon until early evening latest. This will ensure that they don’t go past their bedtimes while still having fun for a long time! Also, if you want to save money and time, opt to send out electronic invites to the parents and calculate how many goody bags and food to serve.
4. Cakes and Goodies
Now, what does your kid want for a cake? This is important because blowing the candles is the highlight of the party! Not only that, but I’m sure this is the kids’ favourite dessert during birthdays as well.
It can be in line with the theme and colors, baking or purchasing a cake your kid will adore. Or, you can even make this a game to make it memorable, letting the kids create their own design and flavors made from cake mix and selected toppings.
Goody bags are also a highlight of a child’s birthday party. Don’t go crazy and spend a ton. Instead, purchase small trinkets like candies or little toys wrapped in a colors bag.
5. Plan the Activities!
Last but not least, the best way to make a party amazing is with the activities lined up. Kids love games, and making fun activities for them to enjoy will surely make this party the talk of the class the next day.
Make sure that you have an activity to do right away once the kids have arrived. You can do face painting or letting them decorate their birthday hats for starters. Other awesome ideas would be letting them go on a scavenger hunt around the house, or “bring me!” with prizes!
