Throwing a kids′ party

With a bit of planning you should be able to throw a fantastic kid’s party that they’ll always remember
Most children are really only exposed to organised games at children’s birthday parties. It can be a tough challenge throwing a children’s birthday party; mostly for two reasons:
- Depending on the type of school your children go to, it is likely that they will go to quite a few parties, so in many respects they are experts, and
- Given that the mothers generally organise children’s parties and know what everyone else has done, they also consider themselves experts at the job.
In any case, it’s difficult for anyone organising a children’s party to be original, because by the age of 10 most children will have gone to at least 30 and possibly up to 100 parties, depending on how many children are in their class at school. Of course doing a party on a tight budget is makes it even harder to do something original and memorable.
Venue parties
Organising a children’s party is actually not as difficult as it first seems, because they all follow a reasonably simple formula. One of the simplest (although not cheapest) options is to go to a venue that caters specially for children’s parties. Typical examples of places that offer complete birthday party packages are:
swimming pools
bowling alleys
the cinema
kid’s indoor adventure playgrounds
zoos
go kart tracks
local community centres
. . ....but there will be many other types of places near you. There even are mobile kids’ party venues, such as fun busses that actually come to your house. If you have contact with the school, asking round the other mothers at the school will quickly uncover the latest popular theme or venue, and help you to avoid parties that are considered no good or ones that have been already done. Usually the venue will supply food (although in most cases it is pretty basic fare), and typically supply their standard invitations for you to fill out and send to your guests. However they are not likely to supply the birthday cake or the party bags, and you have to remember to take these important items with you. A venue organised party is great if you have a small flat, and as an added bonus, you don’t have to worry about organising every aspect of the activity. Generally, venue parties last about 2 hours, about half of which is taken up with the activity and the other half with eating the food.
Children’s parties in your home
If you’re organised and a bit creative, throwing a kids party is not as hard as it first sounds. Of course, you could hire an entertainer (e.g. a magician), and then all you have to do is prepare the food and lay it out, and this is not difficult. However magicians can be expensive and the children at your kid’s party may well have seen the act before, which is great if they’re brilliant but not so good if they’re mediocre and the kids are likely to get bored.
. . .
Organising the whole thing yourself is a really good option. As a dad, you can introduce no end of fun and originality in to the proceedings and give you child something really memorable. On dadcando.com you’ll find an essential guide and Party Planner which will make sure that you don’t forget anything and that the party runs smoothly. Also we have included some original party games to really make your party a special one for you and your child, regardless of whether you’re on a tight budget or not.
Check availability of your kid’s best friends
It is very important to note, that before organising your party and setting the date, you should ask some of the mothers of your kid’s friends at school if there are any other parties or other community events planned on the day you have in mind, such as a concert or special outing, because if your chosen date clashes with another event, your kid’s best friends may not be able come to the party.
