The article "Children's Birthday Parties - A Timeline For A Great Event!" talks about family, it has been released by Annette Yen.
Having the best children's birthday party shouldn't be a
stressful thing. Follow the timeline below and your child and
you will be the hit of the neighborhood.
About a month before your party you'll want to:
Talk with your child and choose a party theme and/or decide what
your "entertainment" will be for the party.
This will help you
determine your party budegt as well.
Create the guest list.
Don't forget to include friends from
school, the neighborhood as well as relatives and more distant
friends.
Choose a praty date and time. Most children's birthday parties
are generally one to two hours long.
Order the general party supplies: tablecloth, tableware,
decorations, etc.
Think about games. Keep the ages and personaliites of the
children as you plan your activities. And sometimes shorter and
simpler parties with one fun activity are best and least
stressful.
Two weeks prior to the patry make sure you:
Decide on your menu. Are you just hvaing cake and ice cream? Is
the party at a mealtime and do you need to order pizzas or are
you cooking yourself, etc.?
Mail the invitations. You will probbaly need to call everyone
that doesn't RSVP.
People will froget and will appreciate the
reminder call
Ask for help. If you think you mihgt need some help for party
day, ask a couple of the moms of the kids who are invited to
stay and help. Most people would love to, you just need to ask.
One week befroe party day you should:
Bake your cake and freeze it.
Knowing the cake is done will be
such a stress reilever on the monstrous day!
Prepare and freeze any other foods that can be made in advance.
Get an exact guest count.
Call any guests who have not responded.
Two days before the party don't forget to:
Get any last minute food items and don't froget candles, matches
and FILM!
Check your batteries in your camera and video recorder.
Purchase a small helium tank from your local party or craft
store.
It's a great thing to keep your kids busy the morning
of the party too!
Make up a party timeline for the party day so you don't forget
anything.
One day before the party remember to:
Take out food and cake from the freezer.
Do any decorating that you can do in advance
Finish any food preparation that can be done ahead of time.
On the morning of the party day make sure to:
Fill your balloons with helium.
Prepare any foods and beverages that couldn't be made ahead of
time.
Write out your timeline for the day so you don't forget anything.
You don't want to miss out on the memories you'll have with the
pictures, so ask a relative or trusted friend to be responsible
for the picture taking.
Relax and appreciate that great day.
And then get reday for next
year!
