If you're a bit nervous about planning your kid's party, you're not alone. A large group of kids can be easy to please, but funnily enough, they're also very unpredictable. To avoid any unnecessary upsets: plan, plan, plan. So here are our top 5 planning tips for perfect kids parties.
Choose a theme
Firstly, themes are not essential, but they give your party a clear foundation. If you're going to use a theme, pick something your child really loves, or if they're really young, choose something they're starting to recognise (for example an animal, character or colour). There are plenty of resources for theme ideas, but if you can tell they love Paw Patrol, they've dreamed of being Cinderella, or want to be an Avenger, then the choice is simple to make.
