Stress-Free Birthday Planning
TIME.
(don’t waste it!) Time. It’s only on your side if you use it wisely. If you squander the time it takes to plan your child’s next party, you will be sorry at some point or another.
P
lanning a kid’s birthday party can be super fun or super stressful. There’s a lot to think about includ-
ing food, guests, decorations and more. But just like any other big event, the first question is where? And that’s where your budget comes into play. If a big party at a party destination is on your mind, you need to book it up to eight weeks ahead of time (to get the day and time you want). But you can also have a great birthday party at home. Follow our tips for ideas, inspiration and more. Let’s PARTAY!
