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.
