<p>Why is planning your kids birthday party always so stressful?  It should be fun and you should enjoy the celebration of your child&#8217;s birth.  Here is some helpful tips to help be prepared and enjoy that special day.</p>
<ul>
<li>If possible try and start planning 4-6 weeks in advance so you don&#8217;t stress yourself out especially if ordering party favors on-line.</li>
<li>Pick a theme.  Once you have the theme down you can base the whole party around it, including the favors, decorations and party games.</li>
<li>Remember this is kids, they are not going to remember or worry if the house is cleaned and what type of napkins were used.  Focus on the fun games.</li>
<li>Party times: I suggest 1-3 or 2-4, this way you do not need to feed the kids a meal, yes you need snacks but an entire meal is not necessary.</li>
</ul>
<p>Involve your child and have fun, anyone else have ideas?</p>
