Party Tips
Here are Shannon's top eight party tips:
- If possible, begin planning your party 6-8 weeks in advance to allow plenty of time for theme choice, online ordering and delivery, as well as RSVP time.
- Pick a theme your child is excited about.
- Children remember what they did at a party more than anything else!
- The best party times are 1:00 - 3:00 or 2:00 - 4:00 because you won't need to serve a full meal, just snacks. For little ones try 10:00 -11:30am to work around nap time.
- Use this guest equation: Child's age + 1 = happy kids. Happy kids = happy parents!
- Play games, but be sure everyone is a winner. Have the game results dictate prize-picking order...just be sure all prizes are equal.
- Spend more creativity and thought on favors than money. Work with your party's theme.
- Have fun!
