Birthdays are one of the most exciting events in a child’s life. It is the only day that has everyone’s complete focus on them; they are the life of the party, they are the center of attention, they are the chief guest, everything is about them. So, it is only natural that every parent wants to give their child the perfect birthday party. But often it turns out quite hard putting together everything while remaining under budget as well. Hence, here is a simple guide on the basics of planning your child’s birthday party.

Set Your Budget

The first thing to set is your budget. You want to keep a number in your head before planning anything. It is even better if you split your budget into further categories to get a better idea of how much everything is going to cost. It will be a lot helpful to know how much you want to spend on food, how much on decorations, and how much on the venue. This way you won’t exceed your set budget and have quite a lot under control while putting together your child’s dream birthday party.

Choose a Birthday Party Theme

Normal birthday parties hardly make the cut anymore ever since themed birthday parties have become the latest trend. It is preferable to go with a cartoon character, a show, a book, or a movie your child is obsessed with. For instance, if your child likes The Wizard of Oz, you can make the birthday party The Wizard of Oz themed. Your child can dress up as Dorothea or any other character from the story. You can imitate a tornado in the party with coloured cotton. You can set up the rest of decorations accordingly and even make the cake The Wizard of Oz themed as well.

Choose the Venue and Make the Arrangements

The next step is choosing the venue to host the birthday party. The venue is important to determine the type of decorations required and the type of activities that can be done in the given space.  It can be a booked restaurant or it can be your own outdoor yard, or even your living room. You can make the arrangements accordingly. Usually, you need whole loads of balloons, a lot of portable furniture like white folding chairs or folding tables. You also need a lot of crockery, tablecloths, sometimes even more to set up a backdrop for the party. Once the space is properly and spaciously used, you can plan out the activities accordingly whether it is musical chairs or pass the pillow.

Make the Guest List and Send Invites

The last step remaining in planning a birthday party is inviting people over. Make a guest list of people who are close to you like your immediate family, your child’s closest friends, your closest friends. Of course, the guest list has to be according to budget. Although, if you do have a bigger budget, you can expand your guest list accordingly as well.
