Children's Birthday Party Planning


Birthday parties are a lot of fun, especially for children but between planning, hosting and cleanup, it can be quite a chore. Just ask any parent who has done it.

Keeping a group of kids entertained for a couple of hours is not always an easy task either.

Many parents opt for moving the party outside of their home where they know the kids will have a lot of fun and they won't have to worry about doing any of the work thing. Best of all, there will be no mess to clean up after the party.

Make sure you pick a place that is in a controlled environment with staff on hand to take care of everything.
Here are some popular places for hosting children's parties

Kids love pizza - and, well, so do most adults. This is a simple party that would probably include pizza, soda, and cake. You might even be able to get the owner to let you and the kids go back into the kitchen to watch as they make the pizza; kind of a private tour.

Roller Skating Party

A roller skating party includes a party room, skate rental, food like pizza, popcorn and soda and usually lasts for approximately two hours. If you supply music on CD the DJ usually will play your child's favorite song and dedicate it to your child for their own special skate.

Baseball Game Party

Many baseball stadiums have birthday party packages that include a party room, entrance into the game, food, cake and ice cream and may include a special dedication over the loudspeaker for your child or even a chance to come on the field and meet some players or the mascot.

Some national pizza chains have this option as part of a party plan.

Zoo or Aquarium Party

This type of party would probably include zoo or aquarium admission, tours, maybe a private session with a trainer, and of course, cake and ice cream.

Bowling Party

Depending on the age of the child, bowling can be a lot of fun. Many bowling alleys have party plans and with electronic scoring and light-weight bowling balls everyone can join in. This type of party would probably include food, cake, video games, and bowling. Most bowling alleys have party plan packages.

A tip they suggest: "Birthday parties reserved Monday - Thursday are a great option to avoid some of the crowd, plus we provide unlimited time at your table and extra tokens."
