Checklist of “Must Do’s for a Children’s Birthday Extravaganza


Timing – the younger the children are the shorter the duration of the party. Even though 3-5 year olds take longer to organise at a party their concentration span is shorter so 1 -3/4 hour party is usually long enough. Broken down into 15 minutes meet and greet, 45 minutes play or entertainment, 20 minutes for food, 15 minutes for the cake because almost all the kids will want a turn at blowing out the candles, and 10 minutes for round up and collection. For older children, 2 hours is good, allowing 1 hour for play or perhaps formal entertainment like a magician or the GymBus.

Party Day – have a backup plan for rain if you’re having an outdoor party at home or at a park. Be sure to have all your guests contact details for last minute changes like if the birthday child wakes up with gastro! In the days leading up to the party, make up a contact list for parents in case of emergencies like injuries or allergic reaction to you party food!
