Top tips for planning children’s birthday parties in London
‘I’m having an Elsa party’
Baby Girl started talking about her birthday in February, and the party has been mentioned almost every day since. The fact is, however, that she still has more than three more months to wait, and all this talk about the birthday means I’m feeling the pressure to ensure she has a fantastic experience.
London-based children’s event planning company Ruby & Roo, which focuses on organising beautiful tailor-made parties, has kindly offered their five top tips for coping with children’s birthday party planning stress:
1. Make a master to-do list with your guest list, contact information, supplies, dietary restrictions, RSVP’s and so on. Send out invites in plenty of time to guarantee a good attendance
2. Create a theme that your child will love; this is key to the success of a wonderful children’s party
3. Organise engaging and age appropriate activities for the children attending. Have a show-stopping and lively performer/s, depending on the ratio of children, is an absolute must if you want to keep the children happy and engaged
4. Have a unique bespoke cake that ties in with the theme and can act as the centrepiece for the party. The food you serve is equally important, if not more for leaving a lasting impression with both the children and adults in attendance
5. Have a photographer or a camera nearby to capture those special moments. The early years go by in a flash and all too soon the memories of smiling painted faces and boisterous party games will fade away. You could even print your pictures and give each child a memento of their day as they leave
