Birthday Party Package

1. Planning your child’s birthday party can be a lot of work for you so it is important to preplan as much as possible in order to eliminate unwanted surprises and unnecessary down time.
2. Send your invitations out two weeks before the party. You will want the give the parents of your guests time to put the party into their schedules and it will give you plenty of time to know how many children to expect for the party.
3. If you are going to have a theme for your party, choose it early so you can have everything you need prepared and purchased in time.
4. If you haven’t had a reply from an invitation a week before the party reach out to the parent yourself to confirm. You don’t want any unwanted surprises.
5. It is always good to have one or two other supervisors to help you out at the party
6. Set up the rules early and take control before some of the party goers ruin it for everybody. Don’t be surprised with a bad temper episode from your child or one of their friends. It is not uncommon for the children to lose their tempers or get upset. They are all very excited and can be edged on by another child so be ready to help keep tempers calm.
7. We have found in our business that two hours is the ideal length of time to hold your party. Have a number of games ready to keep the partygoers entertained. If a game is not keeping their attention just change to another game.
8. Keep the food simple – hot dogs or cheese pizza are favourites. This is not a good time to instill good eating habits or manners to the children. Children tend not to eat as much at birthday parties as they normally would because they are excited and want to move onto the next thing. You can always offer seconds if needed.
9. Make sure you have phone numbers or contact numbers of the parents in case of an emergency or if the parents don’t show up after the party to pick up their child at the scheduled time so you can reach them if needed.
10. Have your birthday party at Milltown Mini Golf.

Remember – Birthday Parties are a landmark time for children. Turning over a new year is something that they look forward to with much anticipation – not so much for adults – so help keep those memories special for the children.

Enjoy yourself and have fun with the kids – that’s what it is all about. Oh yes – take lots of pictures. Kids are hams and you can always delete the pictures you don’t want to keep later from your camera or phone.
