Why is planning your kids birthday party always so stressful?  It should be fun and you should enjoy the celebration of your child’s birth.  Here is some helpful tips to help be prepared and enjoy that special day.

• If possible try and start planning 4-6 weeks in advance so you don’t stress yourself out especially if ordering party favors on-line.
• Pick a theme.  Once you have the theme down you can base the whole party around it, including the favors, decorations and party games.
• 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.
• 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.

Involve your child and have fun, anyone else have ideas?
