My Top 10 Party Hints and Tips..

Party Tip 1

When you set a budget and theme it will make it easier to set a location.

Party Tip 2

If you are planning on holding your party in a park make sure you contact the local council for approval. A permit is normally required if you would like a jumping castle

Party Tip 3

Make sure you put a RSVP by date on your invite, this will make it easier for you to cater the party

Party Tip 4

Keep party favours small and simple. How about a bubble wand as a non -lolly option

Party Tip 5

Kids don’t actually eat that much at parties so don’t go overboard on the food. For something different serve in a lunch box. By serving in lunch boxes you will find most kids will eat everything in it

Party Tip 6

Make sure you have people to help run games, serve the food, hand out party favours and keep an eye on the kids, it is almost impossible to host a party and run one at the same time.

Party Tip 7

A proposed agenda for a 2 hour party:
10.00am – Guests Arrive 10.30am – Game
10.45am – Game/Craft 11.00am – Sit for Snack/Lunch
11.30am – Game
11.45am – Cake
12.00pm – Guests Depart

Party Tip 8

Keep the games simple. Kids love arts & crafts so why not have a craft table or colouring in table set up for guests to do on arrival

Party Tip 9
On the guest list leave room for parents name and number. Parties for kids aged 5 and above are normally drop off parties and you may need to get in touch with parents during the party.
