SPACE CITY PARENT | PEARLAND PARENT | FORT BEND PARENT | KATY PARENT

CHALLENGE ISLAND

1. MAKE A PLAN. Take a few minutes to sit down and write out all the details a few weeks prior to the party (see checklist). If you follow the plan, you won’t panic at the last minute thinking you forgot something… you’ll know it’s all been taken care of.

2. LOCATION. LOCATION. LOCATION. Get the birthday child involved on this one. What are their interests? Martial arts, gymnastics, video games?

There are a variety of businesses that specialize in birthday parties to meet the interests of most children. Whether your child is a budding scientist, a sports fanatic or just wants to have a princess party… you can find a location to accommodate. For older kids, swim parties are a big hit. If you don’t have a pool, check out the neighborhood pool or an indoor pool facility. Although backyard parties are still fun, choosing a place away from home offers an all-inclusive party where someone else does all the work.

3. DELEGATE. You can’t do it all. Assign simple duties to friends and relatives ahead of time to take some of the pressure off of you. Aunt Jane can write down whom the gifts are from, Dad can be in charge of the photos, while Uncle Bill makes sure that all the gifts get to the car after opening.

4. ENJOY. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the party! Even if everything doesn’t go exactly as planned, as long as the kids are having a good time, then the party is a success! The most important thing to remember is that this is your child’s special day. Make sure and have fun being part of it.
