Tips

1. At least 5 weeks before the birthday, select your location for the party. If the birthday is on a weekday and you think people may not turn up, plan it on the weekend right after the birthday. Book your venue in advance in order to avoid any last minute rush.
2. Sit down with your child and decide whom all you want to invite. #Ask the kid his/her expectations and then decide the budget. It is not that kids will always demand ponies and clowns. You will be pleasantly surprised when your kid says that he wants a party at the local restaurant with close friends.
3. Next decide your budget. Calculate an approximate figure that will be the expenditure for the entire party. This includes food, games, amusement, favors, decorations and invitations.
4. Appoint 2-3 responsible adults to take care of certain duties like organizing games, themes and decorations. You can stick to sending out invitations, shopping and deciding the menu. Do not attempt at doing everything by yourself.
5. Check your camera for sufficient rolls or buy disposable cameras. #Place the order for the cake at least a week before the birthday. Arrange for plates, glasses, spoons and other items that might be required in the party.
6. Do not keep things for last moment. Arrange everything beforehand so that you too can enjoy the party without any tensions.
