Planning A Birthday For A Child

That precious child will now be turning three. Apart from pre-schooling, he will also be encountering new things that would affect his entire life. As he say bye-bye to his first two years, it would be best to shower him with a party and help him blow his third birthday cake candle.

Planning a birthday for a 3 year old should be done in advance. It would be nice if you can celebrate his birthday in a kiddy restaurant. However, nothing still beats home. Now, it all starts with budget since this command all other things that are integrated into the planning of the birthday party.

Date and Time Early on, you must already set the date and time of the birthday party. If you are foreseeing changes in schedule, it is best that you also take this in consideration and should also have alternative plans with subsequent changes.

Often, birthday parties for three year olds are held during weekends especially during the afternoon. This proves to be the best time however, this also interferes with other activities such as family outings and attendance to entertainment events. Nevertheless, it is still better than doing it during weekdays.

Other people prefer to hold parties during Saturday mornings though. However, this limits the time for preparation. Nonetheless, once the party finishes, you already have the whole day to spend with your visitors.

It is vital that you plan the date ahead so as to book the entertainers earlier.

Length of the Party - Typically, birthday parties for three year old children last only for around 2 to 3 hours. This is largely determined by the activities and the capacity of the entertainers to hold the children's attention longer.

Party theme - You don't necessarily have to set a theme but it would help in making the planning easier if you do. Most people fall on the common mistake that everything in the party must fit into the theme. Well, if you have the budget and if you can find people who would be willing to arrange the entire theme for you then that would be great. However, you should not be stressed-out if you can't find entertainers to do the work for you.

Decoration - While decorating it would be best if you follow the theme you have set BUT don't cover every square foot of the venue with decors that fit your theme. Several major items would be good but don't over accessorize the place.

Invitation - Never forget the invitations and never forget that you show your theme on your invitation. This would prepare your guests of what to expect in your child's party. Also, include the specific time you would want your guest to arrive.

Food - Foods in children's party don't necessarily have to be normal foods. When children are having fun, they do not care what gets into their mouth, they are more eager to play than eat.

Cake - What would be a party without a cake? The common practice is to reserve the actual cake and give children some cupcakes. This would eliminate the possibility that a child would get upset when the other child has a larger piece or got a decoration on it.

Games and activities - Central to children's parties are the games. Entertainers normally take charge of the activities. Inviting party clowns is a good idea.

All of this can help you making the best birthday, try to write everything that you will be needed, and remember paying attention for safety, your home is a safe place, but with 30 kids running everywhere it can be wise considering limiting some area in the house.
