Howdy party planners! After 5 years of balloon twisting and a few hundred parties, I figured some of you would hear some of my party planning tips! You can consider these at any stage of your planning, and for any event!
1. Consider having it outside of your house
Most parents work full time. And any time you spend on the weekend dealing with your party is time lost! Having your party at a restaurant, VFW, or banquet hall is a great way to save on set-up time, clean-up time, and stress!
3. Keep the kids busy
Connecticut winters make party planning hard. You can’t leave the kids outside, so balloon twisting is a great activity. Just let them run around with balloon swords, play pretend with princess crowns, or anything else!
4. Think about timing
No one wants a mid-day melt down. If your party is expecting kids under 5, consider having a brunch party or a mid-afternoon party. Don’t forget nap time!
6. Let them go crazy! (Outside!)
If all else fails, release the kids. You’ll notice they rarely mind the cold! Make sure in the invitations all parents know to send kids bundled up, even if you’re not planning to let the kids out. That way, if they really just want to run around and play with each other, you can set them free. As long as you’ve planned for this possibility, it can go over fine!
7. Book early and save.
