Tips on Throwing a Great Kids Birthday Party

February 14, 2023 | Leave a Comment

Anyone with children will want to know how to celebrate their birthdays in style. This is especially true for big birthdays, like going into double figures. The good news is that there are a lot of tips and tricks you can learn to throw the best birthday party ever. To help you out, we have come up with a list for your inspiration. Take a look below:

The Venue

Yes, the location is key. Too small, and all the kids will be squashed in, and there will be a big mess. Too large, and you may have a few missing children on your hands. So, it is key to get numbers first and then start looking at suitable venues from there. Perhaps there is a community hall nearby, or maybe you have a relative with a large garden. Wherever you choose, you want somewhere child-friendly and kid-proof. It is also a good idea to prepare for those rainy days. So if you are planning an outside venue, ensure you have mitigations in place; a good marquee is always a wise choice. 

Decorate

Decorations make all the difference. Depending on how much you want to spend on decorations, it can turn an ordinary community hall into something special. At a minimum, you are going to need some banners and balloons. But there are simply dozens of birthday decorations you can choose from. You can even try making a few of your own. This is where being creative is a huge bonus, allowing you to experiment and have a little fun. It may be an idea to decorate with a specific theme in mind. A prince’s castle or a Spiderman-inspired theme. This will help you focus the idea and get all the right colors etc.

Music

All good parties need music. Perhaps you are going to have a DJ, or maybe a great playlist is all that is required. Just do a sound test before the party begins to make sure that everything is working properly.

Good music contributes a lot when organizing a party! You can spice things up by setting up interactive games that involve music and dancing. So if you’re having a kid’s party, just know that kids love to participate in games, that’s why it’s also an effective way to have a party that the kids will remember when they grow up. To add a little bit of new experience, you could try and rent out silent disco headphones instead of blasting the music through the PA or loudspeakers. Kids love to dance too!

The Invitations

All good kids’ birthdays need real invitations. That means nothing online or via social media. You need real paper invitations that look great. You and the kids can have a great time writing them out and posting them off. Remember the RSVPs too, so you can get numbers and ask for any food allergen information. The invitations are all part of the magical birthday process, and they help get the kids into the idea that a fun event all for them is just around the corner.

Kids Birthday Party – The Accessories

You are going to make the day a bit different. It is also a good idea to invest in a few distractions for the children. So that means getting a few accessories. Things like face painting kits so they can become one of their superheroes for the day. Consider things like party hats, stickers, things that they can color in, a few inflatable things that they can play with, card glasses and fake noses, etc.; Maybe you could have someone inflating helium balloons at the event. This is always a focal point and can guarantee a lot of fun. There is a wide variety of kids’ party accessories out there, so start looking for something suitable. 

Throw-away Items

There is no point in getting gout the fine china; you are going to need to throw away items. So paper cups and plates, plastic cutlery, paper table cloth, etc. this makes the whole clean up process a lot simpler too. All these throw-away items mean that you can relax and not worry about things getting broken or damaged.

Kids Birthday Party – Activities

You are going to need a few fun activities for the kids. A gaga ball pit activity can be a fantastic way to keep kids busy and interested at a birthday party. A huge number of players can participate in the entertaining and quick-paced game of gaga ball. Perhaps you will hire a clown and have a magic show; maybe you have a few pinatas for everyone to have a go. Perhaps you are going to get a bouncy castle for the event too and Perth Bouncy Castle Hire does amazing castle hire. 
 
There are plenty of other kids’ party games, too, like a ring toss competition or Skittles. Again you need to find a few games and activities that suit your child’s birthday theme. 

Final Touches

Don’t forget to buy a great present and give them a great happy birthday card too. Maybe your gift can start the present pile. You are going to need a cake and party bags with memorable gifts from the party. How about having a party book where everyone can write their names and a little message? A Polaroid camera for pictures to stick in is a fun idea too. It is the little touches that make a kid’s Birthday Party something to remember.
