Start with a Plan Select a committee with like-minded people, discuss dates, themes, objectives, a budget, atimeline, marketing and write up a plan . Delegate tasks, to either individuals or small groups of 2 or 3 committee members, monitor the plan and record the details for future reference. Having a common goal like refurbishing the playground, will keep the school community motivated. What’s in a Name? Although the event might be the annual ‘school fete’ with usual content like food stalls, bric a brac, and amusement rides, the name of your event should reflect the theme and suggest fun and excitement. For example, seasonal names like Spring Fair, in the evening, Twilight Fair or Sundowner. Other suggestions – Funfair, Funfest, Carnival. Just be sure it lives up to its name and be wary of using terms like Monster or Mega Fair unless that’s what it is going to be!

I’ve listed decorations as No 5 of the “5 Essential Ingredients for a Kids Party in Melbourne because after the birthday cake, the entertainment, the food and the presents it’s the last thing to be considered and probably the only thing that is not absolutely essential. If you’re a time-poor working Mum the decorations are the one thing you can do without.

If you plan to cater yourself for your child’s birthday party, keep the food simple and wholesome, fresh fruit in the form of fruit kebabs, vege sticks and dip, homemade pizza, maybe some cupcakes, a few potato crisps and cheezles, a birthday cake and you are done. Prepare and freeze as much as possible beforehand and have some extra help on the day to prepare and serve. If your a working Mum with a family, you’ll have enough to do the planning and organising invitations, decorations, presents, and the entertainment, so you could do with some help with the catering. One option is to order in from a fast food store like Dominoes Pizza, Kentucky Fried, Macca’s or Chicken Treat. It is simple and cost effective.

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.
