Step-by-Step Guide: The Best Kids Birthday Party

Whether it’s your first or tenth time planning a birthday party, there are moments when it feels too much to handle. We’ve created a checklist to assist you with every step of your child’s special day, from preparation to execution!

6-8 Weeks Before the Event

☐ Select a Theme: Consider your child’s current hobbies when selecting a theme for the event, which will help set the tone for the invitations, cuisine, décor, and other details.

☐ List of Guests: Make a list of all the relatives and friends that your birthday child would most like to invite to the big day.

☐ Location: Location is everything! BounceU will be delighted to host your event, and in order to secure your desired day and time, we advise making reservations in advance!

Four Weeks Before the Event

☐ Invites: Send out invitations with a time limit for responses and an RSVP section. To create a design that complements the concept and style you intend to have for the event, think about using design software.

☐ Activities: Arrange the games, crafts, and other activities you have planned for the guests to enjoy, and make sure you have the resources you need.

☐ Food & Drinks: Arrange your menu, including the theme wherever possible! Plan ahead for a unique cake as well!

☐ Party Favors: Make an inventive, entertaining treat bag that guests can take home as a memento of the occasion!

1 to 3 Days Before the Event

☐ Decorate the Space: Use themed balloons, streamers, banners, and decorations to change the look of the area for your event.

☐ Prepare: Bring in and cook food, if needed, and set up games and activities in advance.

☐ Charge Up: Before capturing the moments from the event, make sure all of your devices are fully charged.

Party Day!

☐ Savor the occasion: Make time to enjoy yourself and create memories with your birthday child!

☐ Be Adaptable: Forget about the little things! It’s acceptable if things don’t go exactly as planned. Prepare to take the punches.

☐ Capture Memories: To guarantee you have lifelong memories, assign a photo or video shooter who is an adult attending the event.
