One:
The
birthday
party
is
for
the
benefit
of
the
birthday
child
and
his
or
her
circle
of
friends.
Your
primary
goal
is
to
make
the
birthday
child
feel
special.
A
secondary
goal
is
to
ensure
that
everyone
has
a
good
time.
Involve
your
child
in
the planning process. After that, everything else is unimportant.
Two:
Don’t
go
it
alone;
get
some
help.
You
can’t
do
everything
alone.
Enlist
the
help
of
an
older
sibling,
cousin,
relative
or friend. It is well worth the investment in terms of stress reduction.
Three:
Be
sure
there’s
plenty
to
do.
There
is
no
destructive
force
greater
than
a
crowd
of
children
with
nothing
to
do.
You need to keep them occupied from the moment the first guest arrives until the last guest leaves.
Four:
Safety
first.
You
don’t
usually
think
of
birthday
parties
as
especially
dangerous,
but
keep
safety
in
mind
as
you
plan
you event; make the day trouble free.
Five:
Be
Flexible.
And
be
realistic.
Plan
and
prepare,
but
don’t
get
too
frustrated
when
things
don’t
go
as
planned.
Be
ready
to
shift
gears
if
a
game
or
activity
isn’t
a
big
hit.
Be
ready
to
go
to
Plan
B.
Do
crafts
in
the
garage
when
it
starts
to
rain or plug in a video when the entertainer doesn’t show.
Six:
Talk
to
your
entertainer.
If
you’re
going
to
hire
an
entertainer
for
your
party,
e.g.,
a
clown,
magician,
face
painter,
musician,
etc.,
then
be
sure
to
ask
him/her
what
they
need
from
you,
For
example,
space,
furniture
arrangement,
if
windows and doors are an issue, electrical or other requirements.
Seven:
Be
a
good
host/hostess
and
arrange
for
a
parking
spot
as
close
to
your
door
as
possible;
they
may
have
some
heavy equipment to bring in.
Eight:
Your
entertainer
is
not
a
baby
sitter.
It
is
to
the
benefit
of
both
the
party
and
your
entertainer
to
have
adequate
adult supervision in the room. This allows the entertainer to focus on the entertainment.
Nine:
Make
sure
that
your
camera
is
fully
charged
and/or
you
have
spare
batteries
ready,
and
that
you
have
plenty
of
film (digital or otherwise) because you only get one shot at those once-in-a-lifetime pictures.
Ten:
Don’t
forget
to
breathe
and
stay
relaxed.
Your
frame
of
mind
will
have
a
direct
effect
on
the
temper
of
the
party.
Help you child have the best day ever!
