Tips for a Successful Children’s Party 20 July 2008

KUYA MAU’S PERSONAL TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL CHILDREN’S PARTY

  • Invest in a good venue. If your place is quite small, there are restaurants and clubhouse where you can rent it at a reasonable price. Choose a place where children can ran and play yet securely safe. There are restaurants which offer free rent of place but they require that you have to avail their catering. Also consider venues which schedules one client per day, it would be better because you have no pressure in finishing the party.

  • Invest in delicious foods. Children normally prefer sweet spaghetti and barbecue. It would be better if you separate the food of children and adults, but if you are in a tight budget, you can have the same food for both. Have the children’s food in Styrofoam package to minimize time in distributing it. But always prioritize the taste buds of children. Remember, it’s their party and not for the adults.
  • Remind your guest 10 times to always come on time and one day before the party, remind them for the last time to come on time. If you have invited them 4:00, start the party at 4:30. 30 minutes is reasonable for the early guest. To wait for 1 hour is not quite reasonable. It would be unfair to those who come early. Invest in texting and calling your guest in reminding them. It is already a Filipino culture to always be late in the party. So, you have to remind them always.
  • Investing a good children entertainment. Exert effort in choosing an entertainment for your child’s birthday party. Try to ask if you could watch their performance in a tape or CD. Children entertainment like clowns, mascots, magician, puppet show, acrobats have different qualities. Do not easily go for low price entertainment to be surely safe.
