Throwing a party that your daughter can be proud to invite her friends to is a feat that all parents would be proud to accomplish. There is no singular recipe that you must follow to achieve this feat, but below are some tips that may help make this party one that no one will soon forget.
Think of a Fun Location
Depending on how old she is, a party place could be the way to go. Inviting all of her friends to the bowling alley or to a laser tag place saves your from having to clean the house as well! This is a fun way to get everyone doing something they might not normally get to do.
This is also an easy way to incorporate a theme into the party with relatively minimal effort. For instance, if you go to a local arcade, it can be easy to have a decades-themed party. The same theme would also work at a roller-skating rink. Depending on the space, certain themes can be easier to decorate for than others, so keep that in mind when choosing a space and shopping for decorations.
Get Her Something She Will Love
One of the parts of the party that she will most look forward to is the gifts that she will receive, so make yours count! You can’t count on what your friends will get her, but you can always make sure that you get her a gift she will love. One way to make sure she gets everything she wants is to ask her to make a list of all the things she wants to you and to her friends so that everyone knows what to get her. That way, she won’t be disappointed with anything that she gets!
The Menu is the Most Important Part
When planning a party, one of the things that will make people come more than any other aspect of the party is the birthday menu. If you are doing the party at a certain location, then see if food is provided. If not, then if you have a theme for the party, you should choose foods that go with the theme.
The cake is the biggest part of the menu. Will it be decorated according to the theme? Do you have options for her friends if they have dietary restrictions, like being dairy or gluten free? Perhaps an option that would work best for everyone is a variety of cupcakes that cater to the different tastes and dietary needs present among your daughter’s guests.
Don’t Forget the Little Things
Curating a playlist of her favorite music is just one small touch that you can make that will add the most special elements to her night. Maybe getting a personalized napkin or plate is just another touch that she will appreciate that you thought of.
Speaking of little things, make sure you have all the party supplies that you need before you get to the party location. No one wants to have to make a run to Party City five minutes before guests arrive!
A Photo Booth is a Must
You don’t have to go all out and professional for this photo booth, but in this digital age, one is a must ! It can be as simple as hanging a tablecloth with some streamers and having a couple props there that everyone can hold or as fancy as renting out a professional photographer, depending on your budget. Your daughter and her friends will appreciate an opportunity to tell everyone how fun this party was and it gives them a way to tell her happy birthday online, which is a huge deal!
You have top-notch party-planning skills, and we believe in them. Hopefully, those work hand in hand with these tips to help you throw a party that she is bound to love.
