Birthday tips
Delegate tasks to other family members.
Hire entertainment at least six weeks in advance.
Be sure to check entertainer's references.
Involve the birthday child in choosing the theme of the party.
Limit guests to the birthday child's age +2. (for example: for a 4 year old this would be 6 guests.)
Start your party at least 30 minutes before any entertainment is to begin.
For children ages 4 and younger the party should run 1hour-1.5 hours.
School age children's parties are best kept under 2 hours in length.
Will you be serving a meal or snacks? Plan party time accordingly.
Anticipate problems and make alternate plans for bad weather and alternate activities in case the party entertainer cannot come.
Ask the entertainer if they have special needs for setting up when booking.
It is kind to tip a professional party entertainer.
REMEMBER TO RELAX! It's just a kids party, they will have fun regardless.
