Hello World! Welcome Friends! Birthdays are meaningful events that require celebration, and for kids, these celebrations carry on in memories for years to come. Surprise parties, in particular, make for some of the most memorable parties, not just for the birthday celebrant, but for those around them. Here are a few ways to help you plan a successful surprise party for your kid.
Choose a Time and Date
One of the first things that you want to do when you are setting up a surprise party for your kid is to establish the date and time of the party. This is an important initial step, as it allows you to properly plan and organize the rest of the aspects of the party. You obviously want to choose a date close to their birthday, but also want to choose a date where their friends and family can make the gathering. This is especially important if your child has a birthday around a major holiday. Once you have the date chosen, you can move on to other aspects of planning, and begin sending out the invitations.
Invite Friends and Family
When planning a party, you want to create a guest list of friends and family that you are intending on inviting. You want to send out invitations early enough to receive an RSVP ahead of the date, as this allows you to get an estimate of the total number of guests coming. You will also want to be flexible to be able to accommodate last-minute changes, whether that means more or fewer guests attending, as things can arise the closer to the party date. With the invitations, you will want to provide party details, from theme to time and location. Always consider your child and their friends, as you want to ensure that you invite people they want to see and spend time with, in order to make the party as memorable as possible for them.
Unique Fun
A fun party will vary from child to child, depending on what they enjoy and like. Of course, if you are trying to plan a surprise that will stand out from the typical party, consider the addition of different larger-than-life attractions. You might include different amusement rides, slides, castles, dunk tanks, and other carnival-type additions to your backyard or party. This will obviously increase your budget, but if you are celebrating an important milestone or event, or just have the room in your budget to make some extra fun accommodations, these additions will really liven any child’s birthday and bring out joy for all the kids.
Food For All
When you are planning a surprise party, one aspect that you do not want to get caught off guard is food. You want to ensure that you have enough food and drinks to feed your guests. Determining the number of people that are attending will allow you to get the necessary amount of food and drinks. If your child has favorite dishes or desserts, incorporating that will make the party that much more special. Also consider any food restrictions, from diets to allergies, as this is essential in choosing what food options you provide. Although it is the responsibility of parents to be aware of their child’s restrictions, you want to be as accommodating as possible. Also keep in mind that it is better to have more food than not enough, as you don’t want anyone to go hungry.
Keep It a Surprise
When you are planning a surprise party, one of the things you want to ensure is that you maintain the veil of mystery. After all, half of the surprise party is the surprise aspect, which contributes to the joy and excitement when your kid is surprised by all their friends and family. You can also set up decoy celebrations to throw them off, perhaps suggesting you will be going out for dinner or a meal to pull them away from the house or venue. Make sure that all the guests also keep the secret, as it can be easy to spill the news of an upcoming surprise party. The better you keep the secret, the better the surprise party will be.
When planning your child’s surprise party, take the time necessary to plan in advance. You want to be organized, as this will allow things to progress smoothly, help you stay on budget, and make the surprise party as successful as possible. It takes a great amount of attention to detail to make the whole party come together, and create a lasting memory for your kid.
