If your little cherub’s birthday is happening soon, you are probably thinking of ways to make it really special. It’s always great to spend time with immediate family on the big day, but for them, one of the most exciting things is getting together with friends and being the center of attention for a while.
If you are thinking of throwing a party and looking for ways to make it extra special, read on. Here are 6 ways to throw the ultimate children’s birthday party.
Invitations
The only way your guests will know about the party is if you invite them, so make sure you send invites a week or two in advance. You can buy a wide range in grocery stores or specialty party places, or if you want to go a step further, you can have personalized invites from printerfairy.com designed. Choose from loads of different themes, or if you have some creative flair and want to do something a little different, why not make them yourself?
Celebrity lookalikes
Whether your kids love the characters from the movie Frozen or are obsessed with the latest antics that Spiderman is getting up to, why not make the day super special and hire a lookalike. The sheer look of surprise when they turn up at the party is guaranteed to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Party Food
A party would be the same without lots of deliciously yummy food to munch. A buffet-style is usually the easiest and most efficient way to feed a squad of kids, and if you need any added inspiration, there are loads of suggestions and recipes online. Buy paper plates in bulk along with paper cups and napkins to reduce the risk of any breakages and keep mess to a minimum.
Hire a bouncy castle
If your backyard is a decent size, what better way to create lots of fun and laughter than to hire a bouncy castle. They come in varying sizes and colors to suit a wide range of budgets and come with guaranteed enjoyment for even the biggest of kids!
A balloon maker
Interactive games and entertainment are always a hit at parties, so if you want something that will give you a reprieve for an hour or so, then hire a balloon maker. The kids will give their full attention and love running around with a balloon sword or flower made just for them.
The cake
Let’s face it – a party wouldn’t be a party without a cake! If you are looking for a bespoke cake specially designed just for that special little person in your life, then it’s a good idea to order your cake in advance. A good cake maker may have a waiting list spanning months ahead, so get in early to avoid any disappointment. Another alternative is to buy a bog standard cake and jazz it up with a personalized cake topper and some candles.
Whatever you decide to do, you can rest assured that the kids will have a fabulous day and remember it for a very long time.
