Thursday Thirteen #2 - Kiddie Party

Preparing for a Kiddie Party is not that easy. My son's will be turning one this coming 15th of September but months before his special day we already prepared everything. For my thursday thirteen topic I will be giving tips of preparing for your kiddos big day.

1. Plan your Budget - as early as May my huby & I prepared the budget for our son's bday.

2. Pick Appropriate Party Theme - before it was Cars then we changed it to Lego then Baby Einstein then Elmo then finally we ended up with his most favorite Baby Genius..he likes DJ the Dino.

3. Look for a Venue - we had some ocular visit of some places. Then we ended up with the one who will fit to the budget.

4. Settle for a Convenient Date - my son's bday will fall on Monday since its working day for moms & dads and school days for some kids...so we decided we will celebrate it on Saturday.

5. Get a Party Package - look for party packages...it will save you both time and money.

6. Go over the Caterer's menu - i am particular with the taste so i have to pick the right delicious one for kids.

7. Print Invitations - i just printed out my invitation last week si i have to distribute it late...soweee.

8. Choose a Party Favors / Party Goodies - for trey's favor its a cloth bag that has a DJ print on it.

9. Design for the cake - create an cutie design that kids will love it.

10. Customize some of the Packages - look for parts you want to exclude in the package and upgrade some of the stuffs.

11. Count the number of Heads - this is important for this will depend on you budget. playmates or
friends of your kid

12. Consider Adult's Menu - in my case i have a separate menu for adults.

13. Add Special Effects for the Party - i added some playgrounds and foodcarts for the kids to enjoy.
