Be Prepared for a Children's Birthday Party in Melbourne


A birthday cake, the entertainment, the food, the presents and the decorations are The 5 essential ingredients for a children's birthday party. Once you have addressed these key components, there are 5 less obvious, but equally important considerations.

Help - my first thought when planning a children's party is, whom I can get to help with the preparations on the day. Grandmothers are usually great cooks and can help prepare and freeze food in the weeks before. On the day, they can help prepare and serve, and assist with the cleaning up afterwards. If you're lucky (or unlucky) enough to have both grandmothers, all the better. If not, ask a friend, relative, or neighbour.

Contact Details - Another often-overlooked task is to get contact details for each of the children attending the party. A mobile phone number is the best means of contacting a parent if there is an accident or if a child takes ill. Be sure to put your address and phone number on the invitation so they can contact you if there is an emergency their end.

First Aid - at some time prior to the party, get out your first aid kit, restock it and have it handy on the day. Make sure you have Band-Aids, children's Panadol or similar, a sling, bandages, sterile wipes, an eyewash, and tweezers. A bit of TLC and a Band-Aid can make a lot of hurt go away. Someone with a first aid certificate can be useful too.

Special Requirements - I suggest asking about special dietary requirements on the invitations.
Some parents will provide party food for their child, which makes it easier for you, others will expect you to cater. Consider the most common, like peanut allergies when planning your menu. Plan B - if your party is going to be at a park or outside at your house, be prepared with a plan b if the weather turns nasty and buckets down with rain.

Hassle free Children Birthday Party Planner

The GymBus will take a maximum of 28. However, we recommend a maximum of 26 for the quality of service. If you exceed 28, then the party will have to be split up into two groups, sharing the available time. Please contact the office on 0429 770 277 for the best options for parties with more than 28 guests. The size of your house, and the eating and playing area. Send the invitations  out allowing enough time to RSVP, and for you to make any adjustments for catering etc. TIME   GymBus birthday parties can be for 1hr or 1.5hrs for older children. Have the guests arrive at least 15 minutes before the bus. This allows for latecomers, present opening, general welcoming as well as chatty parents. When deciding on a time consider the age of the children. Younger children respond better to an early part of the day. Advise your guests the time the GymBus will be coming and to wear appropriate play clothes. Allow 30-45 minutes at the end for the party food and birthday cake. A t...
