It is impossible to find someone who does not look back at their childhood without cherishing their sweet and eventful birthdays. Birthdays did not mean growing old back then, they were the biggest days of the year for many.
Remember the childhood days when you used to stare at the calendar every day, counting till that one special day?
Well, your child must be in the same spot now.
Memories of fun-filled and exciting birthday parties constitute a huge chunk of your sweet childhood memory. And wanting to provide the same fun and excitement to your little ones is an adorable feeling.
This blog talks about everything you need to know about planning a birthday party for your little one.
8 things to consider while planning your Child’s birthday party:
There are a few things that you need to consider as an adult for your kids birthday party. Considering these things in advance will make your planning move forward in a systematic and planned way.
Bonus tip: If you have a wild inspiration for the little ones' birthday from Pinterest or social media pages, always save them.
This way if you need any help, you can always ask your event planner if that can be executed. Or even if you are doing everything by yourself, you will have inspiration to DIY from.
Now, here are the 8 things you need to note down before moving ahead.
Budget
The most important factor that decides all other points is your budget. Having a planned budget will not only save your money from impulsive and non-relevant shopping but also help you get the whole theme of the party together.
If you are planning a birthday party a few months in advance, you can even separate some funds. Making such small and disciplined financial decisions can greatly impact your long-term wealth-building strategies.
Guest list
Now, we are talking about the actual party.
The guest list for your kids birthday party is very subjective and depends on if you want an extravagant party or a simple close party.
Bonus tip: If your child is small, say under 6-8 years, make sure to invite a few elder guests or parents with the small ones. This will ensure that your kid's friends have fun without being out of their comfort zone, and you have a helping hand with managing the high toddler energy!
You need to make sure that the safety and security of the kids depend on the arrangements you make.
Venue
Once you decide on the guest list, you will have a fair idea of what your venue should look like. It can be a huge setting that includes a play area and other such fun stuff, or a cozy place.
If you have toddlers coming, having a closed space would be a safer option to avoid looking for anybody, If you have kids above the age of 8 coming over, keep them busy with enough games.

Theme
Now that venue is decided, you can take a little help from your little one or their choices to decide the theme.
Theme parties are easier to plan because you can design everything around the decided theme. This makes your options narrower.
Birthday themes are also more fun for kids, as they will be attending their favorite cartoon/ movie characters' closest real-life scenario. It is a fun activity to then pick dresses or DIY costumes, which can add to creating excitement for your kid’s birthday party.
Cake
The cake is the sweetest part of this whole plan literally!
Here are the various cake ideas you can take inspiration from:
Cakes inspired by Birthday themes
Three/Two tier cakes
Healthier cakes (Like Banana bread, etc)
Photo cakes
You can also experiment with the shape of the cakes. So make them into kid-friendly shapes and have a blast while cutting them.
Bonus tip: Since there will be kids around, make sure to use the safest candles. Stay away from the ones that explode. Planning such small details in advance makes it easier for you to make D-Day less stressful.
Entertainment
Keeping your little guests occupied with fun-filled games and activities will come as a lifesaver. They will enjoy the party with these games, and you can pay attention to the other important stuff such as food and photography.
Birthday themes will also help you decide on the perfect games.
This brings us to the next point.
Catering
Finalizing the menu and catering services is half the work done.
Now, the food and drinks also depend on the time of the party. But irrespective of the time, take help from your kids in deciding this as well.
Kids birthday party is a very big event for your little one. So make birthdays a special day by asking what your toddler wishes.
Photography
The most important part of any special day is capturing it perfectly.
Take some time to arrive at the best photographers, because these will be the days you will cherish for years to come.
