This means when and where your party will be held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your party&#8217;s date will often depend upon the type of venue you\u2019re choosing and when in the week your child\u2019s birthday falls. For summer and school-holiday birthdays, weekday parties are fine. Otherwise, you\u2019ll want to choose a weekend date near your child\u2019s birthday. Of course, depending on the venue, you might need to be somewhat flexible. If you\u2019re hosting the party at your home or that of a relative or friend, you\u2019ll have much more leeway.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Timing is also an important factor to consider. You\u2019ll want to choose a time slot that fits around normal mealtimes \u2014 often before or after lunch. It\u2019s usually a smart choice to hold parties for younger children before lunch, as this is when they are least likely to be tired. It also means children don\u2019t get impatient waiting all day for their party to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"list\">2. Set a guest list and send invitations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/douglas-j-s-moreira-UFdLg0BX5aM-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Toddlers party\" class=\"wp-image-13405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/douglas-j-s-moreira-UFdLg0BX5aM-unsplash.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/douglas-j-s-moreira-UFdLg0BX5aM-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@xdouglasantos?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Douglas J S Moreira<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/child-birthday?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve chosen a venue and a date, you\u2019ll need to think about your guest list. If your child is not yet in nursery or school, your guest list will probably be comprised of family and friends. If your child is in nursery or school, you might want to invite some or all of their classmates. Before you do this, check with your child\u2019s school on their invitation policy\u2014some schools ask parents to invite the whole class to avoid anyone feeling left out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you plan, you\u2019ll also want to consider whether you\u2019ll be welcoming parents and siblings. If it\u2019s a party for the whole family, make sure to note this on the invitation. If the children are slightly older and you\u2019d prefer a \u2018drop-off\u2019 party, be sure to note that as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re happy with your guest list, you\u2019ll need to send invitations. Some parents prefer old-fashioned cards or paper invitations, while others appreciate the convenience of online invitations. It\u2019s ultimately up to you, but whatever method you choose, be sure to include all the key information: date, time (including ending time), venue, who\u2019s welcome, etc. You should also add an RSVP request so you can get an idea of the numbers. As part of the RSVP, ask parents to let you know if their child has any allergies or dietary requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once guests begin responding, you\u2019ll know how many party bags you need to assemble, what kind of activities you can plan and how much food you\u2019ll need to prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"decide\">3.

Some hired venues include activities as part of their fee \u2014 for instance, petting zoos or trampoline parks. But if you\u2019re holding a party at home or in a hired hall, there are all kinds of options you can plan yourself, no matter your budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, you can prepare some highly entertaining party games for free with just a few household items \u2014 grab a broomstick and blast some music for a fun game of Limbo or set up a Mini Olympics with relay races and an obstacle course. If you have a higher budget to work with, you might even book a bouncy castle or a children\u2019s party entertainer, like a magician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"food\">4.

To save yourself stress, begin planning your party food well in advance. Once you know how many children and\/or adults are coming, you can begin to calculate what you\u2019ll need. For instance, you might plan for a couple of sandwich triangles or pizza slices per child.&nbsp;For some more detailed party food inspiration, check out <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/whats-the-best-food-to-serve-at-a-kids-birthday-party\/\" target=\"_blank\">our ultimate party food guide<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, don\u2019t forget the birthday cake! If you\u2019re making your own, be sure that you have all the ingredients you need to avoid any last-minute panicked runs to the shops. If you\u2019re attempting an elaborately decorated cake, it might be worth practising once or twice\u2026 and don&#8217;t forget to enjoy those bonus slices of cake!

To make things as easy and cohesive as possible, it\u2019s usually best to choose a theme and then decorate around it. You can buy pre-made decorations online, or get crafty with some art supplies and whatever you have around the house. For example, you might have some fun with balloons \u2014 fill clear balloons with theme-appropriate confetti, or construct an elaborate balloon arch. Or you might make your own bunting (and this doubles as an excellent craft project for kids). If you\u2019re in need of more inspiration, we\u2019ve got loads <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-make-decorations-for-a-kids-birthday-party\/\" target=\"_blank\">more party decoration ideas here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also need to prepare party supplies, including your party bags and contents, birthday candles, a lighter or matches and speakers for music. If you\u2019re having an outdoor party in the garden or the park, you\u2019ll probably want to bring a rubbish bag or two with you so that you can tidy up after yourselves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And last but not least, you\u2019ll want to pick up a pack of \u2018thank you\u2019 cards to send out after the party. After all, you want your guests to know how much you appreciated their present and their presence!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking for some brilliant gift ideas for a child&#8217;s birthday?
