10 Things To Look For When Booking Your Childs Birthday Party We all love a good party and we want our kids to have the best time ever – so what should we be looking for when thinking about what to book for the big day?

Here’s our essential 10: 1. Ask your child what kind of party they want! We know it’s an obvious one, but you’d be surprised at how many people don’t actually sit down with their child and look at various ideas. Do they want the same party that their friend had? Do they want a party at home? Do they want to do something with a small groups of friends? Do they want to invite the whole class?

2. Look at budgets Do you have a budget? There’s usually a larger budget if it’s just a few friends, whereas incorporating the whole class can turn out costly if you get carried away.

3. Search on the internet A lot of the time, kids do tend to know what they want and they’ve usually been to someone else’s party that they enjoyed and they want the same. But if you don’t have a trusted recommendation, then it’s worth having a google to see what’s out there for you. Why not try NetMums too and also asking the question in parent or mums facebook groups – you usually get great recommendations that way too.

4. Check out their website Again, very obvious, but do have a route around the websites of companies that you’ve found, or that have been recommended to you. Do they look professional? Do they tell you about their staff? Are they qualified and experienced? Are they all DBS checked? Do they have public liability insurance? Is it clear what their party package is, what you will get and how much it costs? Do they have testimonials on their website?
