Select a theme
according to the personality, interests and age of the child (i.e. a shy child will not
want a performer who is going to make him or her the center of attention).
|
|
|
If you are
choosing an entertainer that you've never seen, ask if they have references or a video you
can view.
|
|
|
Entertainment
should always be age appropriate.
|
|
|
For small
children, be sure you do not have something that may scare them such as a costume
character or clown. If you have a clown, ask them to put their makeup on in front of the
children.

|
Decorations
make the atmosphere of the party. Start by matching the theme of your party with paper
goods and a custom cake.
|
|
|
Set the cake
out as a decoration so everyone can enjoy it.
|
|
|
Balloons also
make a room festive. Decorate the party table by attaching a balloon to each chair so that
at the end of the party, each can take home a balloon.
|
|
|
Party favors
should be age appropriate. Avoid small pieces for toddlers. Read the packaging of the
favor; some have age guides as a reference.
|
|
|
Contests held
should end up with everyone a winner - de-emphasize games of elimination.
|
|
|
Be sure to have
extra party favors on hand for that unexpected guest. Generally 5 extras is a safe bet. |
