Planning a kids' party takes effort, patience, and plenty of planning; it’s easy to get overwhelmed with all of the details and decisions you need to make before the day of the party arrives; however, it does not have to be a difficult task! If you plan to host a kid’s party shortly, consider the following tips and kids' party ideas to put you on the right path.
1. Know when to party at home (and when to host the party elsewhere)
Kids' party places can vary from your home to a rented party space to venues that allow for kid's parties to be hosted, such as arcades, play places, and so on. The right kid's party places for your child's party will depend on a few things: how many people are coming, your budget, as well as how involved the party will be. If you are planning on inviting many guests, it's best to host the party elsewhere so that there is enough room. By contrast, if you are on a budget, hosting a party at home is the better option.
2. Use a party theme based on what your kid loves
When it comes to kids' party ideas, one of the most important things to keep in mind is to choose a theme. Party themes help everything from the kid's party favors to the kid's party food stay cohesive—it's also much easier to plan when you have a theme to guide you. Pick a theme based on your kid's interest, such as a favorite movie, book, or hobby.
Common themes include categories such as "pirates," "princesses," "Disney's Frozen," "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," and much more. It is easier than ever to buy themed party supplies in bulk, so if you are set on a theme that you can easily purchase supplies for at the store, have your child look at what is available first and then ask them to choose from the party store selection.
3. Prepare gift bags for guests (and don't forget to make extra!)
Kids' party favors are essential for children’s parties, so don’t forget to prepare gift bags for every guest. A party bag is a great way to show appreciation for the kids (and, more importantly, their parents) for showing up and bringing a gift for your child. Party bags don’t have to be expensive, and you can usually find bulk party bag gifts at party shops and dollar stores. Small items like rings, candy, and stickers make perfect additions to gift bags. And don’t forget to bring a few extra just in case additional guests arrive or someone loses a bag!
4. Decorate the party space with plenty of accessories
Children’s parties should be fun to be at, which is why decorations are a must! If you are hosting at home or a rental venue, decorate the space as much as possible with streamers, balloons, colorful table runners and anything else you can think of; if you’re hosting the party at an arcade or similar venue, ask the venue about decoration policies so you know what you can (and can’t) bring.
5. Choose music that will keep the party lively
Kids' party music should be based on two things: music that your child enjoys and music that will help the party guests get some much-needed energy exercise. Kids' party music should encourage kids to dance.
