Stylish Childrens Party Tips
Special celebrity post today comes from Leonie at twiggi
~ 10 Steps To A stylish Party with twiggi ~
1. Choose your theme and
2 Base colours, the base colours will be the main colours you will include in decorating and partyware any other colour should be kept to a minimum.
3. Create a Shopping List: Invitations, Plates, Cups, Napkins, Party Bags, Plastic Table cover, Thank You Tags, Ribbon, Bunting, Balloons,
Table Centre, Table Scatters, Party Snacks and Drinks, Cake, Candles, Prizes, Party Loot, Fruit
4. Send out Invitations 4 weeks prior to the party with a RSVP request date of 1 week prior.
5. No matter where your party is held ( home or out ) always decorate the main party area extensively with your chosen decorations, however, children love getting a hint of the party from where they enter… helping to build the excitement… You could put down a Red Carpet to enter on or hang a Door Curtain to start creating the atmosphere.
6. Have your themed Party Table set with all the trimming and definitely have party food that does not need refrigerating out for when guests arrive… Like adults Yummy Party Food is definitely the way to children’s hearts and will help relax any shy children who may feel a little uncomfortable.
7. Once all guests arriveplay 2 pre-organised Party Games back to back then allow some Free Play time, you may have set up a craft table or the sand pit with activities, however most children will love amusing themselves.
8. Serve the rest of the Party Food, Load the Party Table with a nice balance of Sweet Treats and Hearty Food… Fruit Kebabs and Fruit Punch are a great idea, they are fun yet healthy. Allow kids to munch and talk at their own leisure.
9. Serve the Cake… Happy Birthday Songs and Clapping are such a traditional way of celebrating and must not be forgotten.
10. It is now time for 1 more Party Game and then letting guests wear off some of their steam before unwrapping the presents.
11. When it is time for everyone to go, it is a nice touch for the Party Host to hand out Party Bags and thank their guests for coming.
12. If planned Mum and Dad can now sit back with close friends and family and relax… a couple of Champers and good company finishes the day perfectly!
Relax, Enjoy and Have Fun, these are the memories you and your children will have forever…

What a great checklist! Thanks for that
what great ideas. thanks for the tips, should make next party stress free! love the invitations.
Loved your checklist. I have another item that may help.
I love thinking and creating kids parties, but I hate the last minute rush at the end. Therefore to free up more time leading up to the party, I pre-make most of my foods and freeze them. These are anything from homemade pies, sausage rolls, quiches, mini-pizzas etc. Then all you needs do on the day is defrost and reheat and they are fantastic! I even pre-bake my birthday cake and carve out the shape of the cake (train, doll etc), then freeze. It makes the cake so much easier to ice when it is frozen as the cake does not crumb. The cake is as moist as can be and you have saved yourself all this time at the last minute to do decorations and all those last minute things.
Enjoy your next kids party …. they really are the BEST fun!
If only I had of seen these tips a few months ago, could have saved some 6 yr old boy party stress
.
Great tips!
Didnt have much of a party for my girl last year being only one but this time she will understand more so great to know where to start for the inexperienced!
Thanks for sharing great tips~
Awesome post! Love your ninth tip
A birthday party just isn’t complete without the singing of the birthday song and blowing of candles. This is definitely a must! Thanks for sharing these, excellent work!
Packaging is everthing when it comes to party bags. By placing party bag items on the centre of a sheet of tissue paper. Push the centre of the tissue paper into a gift bag. The edges of the tissue paper need to be left showing over the top of the party bag (all colour matching). Makes the party bags look really smart.
Love your blogs styling.
Every party is different and I love your tips for childrens parties.
