It’s Party Time! Birthday parties are back! Make it fun for everyone with these four tips that ease the stress and make celebrations more special.
Don’t aim for perfection. Even if you’ve slaved over every detail, chances are something will not go as planned. Don’t sweat it. Kids don’t notice—and don’t care—about the details. What they will notice is if you’re upset and stressed out, so try to just go with the flow.
Ask in advance about allergies. You don’t want to find yourself with a huge ice cream cake and a roomful of kids with dairy allergies. Check with parents in advance to see if there are any foods that are off limits for their kids.
Manage the guest list. Ask all guests to RSVP so you can keep an accurate count. That way, you’ll be able to order the right amount of food, favors, and other items—and can manage your kids’ expectations if a special friend is not able to come.
Reconfirm food deliveries. Nothing ruins a party faster than a roomful of hangry kids, so call and confirm that food is coming at the scheduled time the day before the party.
