Children’s Parties
September 28, 2016 Albion Parties

With the start of the school term, September has a distinct back-to-school feeling. Parents often feel the pressure with the onset of children’s parties, so we have compiled our favourite ideas to ensure everyone has a happy and stress-free day.

The first point of call for your party will be choosing a suitable child-friendly venue. Try unusual places that will add atmosphere to the day, and even a small amount of decoration can give a recognisable place a party feel.

After the guest list has been drawn up, use invitations that tie into the theme of your party. Marvel-shaped characters announcing the date, place and time of your party, or personalised printed invitations in a bright colour are a stylish touch. We also find that emailing a stunning Paperless Post invitation is an efficient and chic way to manage your entire guest list online.

Food can be a challenging aspect of any children’s party that needs creative thought. Rather than worry about each child’s dietary requirements, why not get the children involved? We have done pizza-making parties, where the children add their own toppings and then watch the wood-fired oven turn their creation into their tea. Give each child a chef’s hat and a personalised apron, and you’ll have the whole group saying “yes Chef” as one.

The birthday cake should be a show stopper – all children love admiring a birthday cake. It’s a great opportunity to celebrate the birthday boy or girl’s favourite theme, and we like to keep it a surprise until the very end of the party.

To keep all the children engaged and having fun, consider an entertainer who can turn a good party into a great party. We love the inimitable Sharky and George for their energy and wonderful array of ideas for all types of parties. http://www.sharkyandgeorge.com/

Hopefully tired and happy after a fun-filled party, send children off with a party bag to remember. Our favourites have been retro paper bags with vintage toys, pet goldfish (required prior parental consent) for a zoological party, a set of plants to grow at home, or after a cinema outing, small bags of popcorn. Alternatively, the classics never die – which child can resist a balloon to take home, or you could add glitter or colourful confetti for extra sparkle!
