Birthday Fireworks And More Kids Party Planning Ideas

By Luisa Sharpe


Party planning can be a lot of fun, especially when planning an event for children. However, if you haven't planned a party before, it can be daunting. Whether you are planning for your own child, or for a friend's or sibling's child, you may need some ideas to get you started. Remember to stay within your budget! Birthday fireworks are great, but not every one is able to afford something that extravagant.

Even if you cannot afford a huge, extravagant celebration, you can definitely create a party that kids will love. Often, children do not have a concept of how much something costs. All they know is whether or not they had fun. Here are some tips and things to keep in mind to help you plan the party and keep your sanity.

1. Choose a theme. This will make all of the planning easier, especially when it comes to decorations. If your child has a favorite character, such as Doc McStuffins or Spongebob Squarepants, make that character the theme of the party. Buy plates, cups, and banners that go with the theme. You could even dress up your child like the character!

2. Keep the food simple. You do not want to spend hours preparing the food, nor do you want to spend hours cleaning up the kitchen. There are other aspects of the party to focus on, too. Choose simple items like chicken wings, hot dogs, or pizza. You can even pick it up from a restaurant to minimize the prep time. Just make sure you place your order in advance. Your cake can fit with the party's theme, and you can order it from a bakery, or make it at home. Make sure to have some beverages and snack foods, too.

3. Plan one main activity and a few supplemental ones. This will depend on your budget. When the money is flowing, many people like to hire petting zoos or clowns, or even have the party at a bounce house or pizza place. However, if your budget doesn't allow for this, there's nothing wrong with doing a movie in the living room or a game in the backyard. You can provide other toys and coloring books for kids who do not want to participate or who become distracted.

4. Add some special touches. An attractive candy table with a large selection will be the hit of the party! You can decorate a birthday chair for the birthday boy or girl, and you can also send home gift bags with the guests. They do not have to be expensive; just some candy and a few trinkets.

5. Have other adults help you. This goes for both the planning stages and the actual party. Do NOT try to handle all of this on your own. Enlist friends, siblings, and other parents to help out. Make sure you have at least one adult for every five kids at the party. This will help your sanity a lot.

Organization is the key to planning a great kids' party. Whether you hire a clown, have a friend dress up as Winnie the Pooh, or show a favorite Pixar film with popcorn, the kids will be happy as long as they are entertained. After you have a party or two under your belt, you'll be a party-planning pro!
