Take the stress out of organizing your child's special event

by following these 5 simple steps to your most hassle free

party ever.

THEME

1. Pick a theme with your child. He or she might want a licensed

character like Incredibles or a pirate party, fairy princess party, etc.

Write down all your child's ideas on a sheet of paper, from theme to

decorations. Don't forget to dress yourself up and get involved.

INVITATIONS

2. Send your invitations out of least 2 weeks before the party date.

Make sure your guests RSVP.

DECORATIONS

3. Balloons are simplest item that will liven up even boring rooms. Call

the balloon expert if you are thinking of having helium filled balloons on

the ceiling or rent a DIY kit from them. Give the balloons away at the

end of the party.

ACTIVITY

4. Take a Polaroid photo of each child when they arrive. Place a photo

at each place setting. When you call them to the table for cake, they'll

sit down in front of their picture. The photo can go home as a party

momento. For theme party, you can check out Pixar.com for downloads

or activity sheets.

GOODY BAGS

5. Be sure whatever you choose is age-appropriate and safe for children.

For creative containers, use Chinese-food takeout cartons, small flower

pots or baskets or paper bags threaded and tied with ribbon or balloon

at the top. Write the kid's names on their goody bags to make them feel

even more special.
