So it’s that time of year again when your shopping list will be overflowing with balloons, cakes, muffins, streamers, glitter, and chocolates. These are all extremely important factors in making your child’s birthday party a memorable one for them and their friends. But there’s an even better way to make it a unique experience for your child. If you just follow these simple steps and involve your son in the preparations for her birthday, you will not only prepare him for the future, but you can also easily make it a moment in her life:
1. Invite:
An invitation sets the general tone of the party. You can help your child make inviting phone calls to her friends and let them know when and where to come. Not only will this make your child feel happy and excited about the party, but it will also give them a sense of responsibility and confidence. You can also get them more involved by making invitation cards with them. You can check the DIY videos online and make the anticipation of the party more fun for your little ones and your gang.
2. Menu planning:
Make sure you have what is best for your child in mind and consult with them before planning the menu. Ask your child to write down her favorite foods and include them wisely in her party menu. Not only will this make them feel loved, but it will also give them a sense of belonging. You can also ask them to help you in the kitchen while you prepare the food. You can involve them in preparing a cake or muffins for their birthday. This will give your little one pride and a sense of accomplishment.
3. Decorations:
Now comes the most important part of any birthday party, the decorations. Get your little one involved by giving them the freedom to decorate their way. Let them inflate balloons and decorate with streamers according to their taste. Let them choose their favorite colors and different balloon designs and you can also involve the father in the decorating process.
4. Play games:
Besides the cakes and gifts, the best thing about a birthday party is the fun and interactive games. Involve your child in the planning and execution of these games. You can make it themed according to your child’s taste. Make sure your little one is a part of each and every one of these games. You can go for classic birthday games, indoor games, or even outdoor games if you have a backyard. This will make your child’s entire birthday memorable. Games like:
• Human Pinata
• DIY backyard obstacle course
• Indoor obstacle course for the blind
• Indoor and outdoor scavenger hunt
Or you can even come up with a fun and special birthday game of your own.
5. Choose a theme:
One of the best and most fun ways to get your child involved in birthday preparations is to help them choose a theme. A memorable theme related to their favorite cartoon show, her favorite book, or just anything that seems fun to them is a fun experience in itself. The whole idea of this is to make your little one feel special and loved on his special day. Some creative and fun topics are:
• Pokemon
• Harry Potter
• Star Wars
• Robin Hood
• Legoland
• fairyland
• Reptiles and amphibians
These are some of the crazy party themes that can be planned and done together with your child and can also be the secret to your child’s successful birthday party.
