When your little one is still little enough
to let you take the reins and throw him or her a wonderful birthday party with
games, decorations, sweets and lots of friends, it can be easy to get lost in
the details and end up going, well, a little crazy. Personalised invitations and party favors
that the kids can’t wait to play with are just a few ways to make your child’s
celebration one for ages; here are some tips for making it fabulous and free from
stress.
Be
Accommodating
Unfortunately, people forget to RSVP and
then might show up and drop off their kids anyway. Keep your cool, by first making
it easy to let you know in the first place. Since even senior citizens are
texting with ease these days, let the other parents know on the invitations that
they can shoot you a text or an email if it’s most convenient for them. Then,
even though you haven’t heard from five parents, plan for those kids being
there anyway. Worst-case scenario, they don’t show up and your child can take
their goody bags to them at school.
Enlist
Help
You might have attempted these shindigs all
on your own in the past, but this time, enlist help from your spouse, friends
or relatives, both in planning and on the actual day. Your parents, in-laws or
closest pals will probably be more than happy to lend a hand, provided you ask
well in advance, whether it’s giving Grandma some great gift ideas and some cash and having her do
the present shopping or asking your best friend to help plant clues around the
backyard for a scavenger hunt.
Put
a Price on It
Is there anything you wouldn’t do to see
your little one’s face light up on his or her birthday? Hopefully, going into
serious debt is one. Set a budget and stick to it, because nothing will kill
your enjoyment of the day like dread for the upcoming credit card bill.
