Lots for Parties...

Top 10 Tips for planning the perfect children’s party

O

rganising your child’s special day can be a daunting prospect!

Chuckle Chimps Soft Play Hire have put together their Top 10 Tips to help you plan the perfect party without breaking the bank...

1

Firstly set yourself a budget AND STICK TO IT. It’s so easy to get carried away planning a party or even worse get into debt. Remember it’s your child’s special day and no matter how you choose to celebrate, your friends and family have taken time to attend and celebrate with you.

2 3

When it comes to planning the event make sure you tackle the big things first like venue and entertainment. Some get booked up months, even years, in advance so get these sorted as a priority!

Make sure any activities are age appropriate for the children attending. There are lots of options available so ask friends for recommendations and use great resources like Lots for Tots Nottingham to find ideas.

4

If you are preparing your own party food then try to get the whole family involved to split the workload and try not to over cater! You don’t want lots of food left over at the end of a party. Remember small children don’t eat that much so opt for simple finger foods and diluted squash to drink. Do ask parents if their child has any food allergies or dietary requirements so you can be prepared.

5

Birthday cakes can vary in price so again budget what you can afford if you are not planning to make your own. You can pick up a pre-made one for under £10 at most supermarkets or why not buy a plain iced sponge and decorate it yourself for the personal touch.

6

If you are on a tight budget, discount and pound stores do fabulous ranges of children’s party disposables. All you really need are plates, cups, napkins and perhaps table covers. Remember it doesn’t need to be expensive or branded with cartoon or TV characters!

7

Party bags seem to be expected nowadays but they don’t need to cost a fortune. Set a budget per child for each bag. Books and stickers make super gifts and pound stores have a great range for different ages. Use small bags of sweets as fillers and don’t forget napkins to wrap that all important piece of birthday cake in to take home!

8

Good old party games go down a treat! Pin the tail on the donkey, pass the parcel, musical statues… there are loads to choose from. Winners’ prizes don’t need to be huge but remember some small gifts like treat size sweets so there aren’t any tears amongst those who don’t win.

9 10

It’s so easy to forget to take photos when you are busy being the party host. This can be a great job for male relatives or ask your party guests to share their pictures with you.

Remember to enjoy yourself! It can be too easy to get lost in planning and hosting to enjoy the day itself. Even if it’s just for a few moments, take time to have some fun with your child and share their special day!

Introducing Shelley from Rosa Vintage Keepsake Jewellery Shelley creates beautiful pieces of jewellery and other keepsakes such as pendants, bracelets and key rings from your child's fingerprints cast in fine-silver. A moment in time that you can treasure forever.

“As a mum of two boys aged 4 and 1, I decided to set up Rosa Vintage so I could work from home after my youngest experienced health problems. I love creating the pieces and have met some lovely mummies so far who I've made keepsake jewellery for.

The jewellery takes about two weeks to create and is all handmade and engraved by me. You can either take prints remotely with a simple print kit which you return to me or I can take your prints if you are local to Nottingham.”
