1 Month Before…

With the birthday boy or girl choose what theme that they want to have and who will be invited.
If an entertainer is required make enquiries, get costs and confirm the booking.
If you choose an outdoor party look into buying a pop up gazebo. This can be used to keep the children out of the sun during the day and avoid sunburn or illness.
Once a list for the latter has been drawn up, buy or make invitations and send them out.
Choose the date and time for the party.
Phone around to friends and other parents of children who will be invited to enlist their services to help with the big day.

The night before…

Decorate the house with decorations.
Prepare the food that you can.

And on the big day remember that despite all of this planning things mishaps are more than likely to arise, but remain calm and keep in mind that as long as your child is having a great time, that’s all that matters.
