7 tips for making YOUR kids’ party memorable.
1. Plan and Prep. It won’t all go as planned but get things like cooking and preparations out of the way before. Plan out key moments or activities to balance out free play.
2. Be present. Try to plan in some time to play.
3. Plan to get pictures of pivotal moments.
4. Kids make their own fun, so don’t be too stuck on the idea of them playing the way you planned it.
5. Keep your schedule flexible.
6. Don’t be afraid to cut out things that aren’t specifically your child’s idea fun, no matter how common they are at other parties.
7. Know your child. Keep it simple. Plan things that YOUR child is into. Expose them to new things as well, but tailor the day to the child’s comfort and interests. The location, amount of guests and noise/ music level are all important to consider.

How to Best use YOUR space when planning a party
Too much space at YOUR party can be a bad thing if not arranged strategically. When you have a lot of space available for your party YOUR instinct may be to spread out activities. However, we’ve learned that it’s best to leave less space between stations. We’ve found that keeping kids close to one another while they do the various activities is a more emersive experience. It’s more visually exciting, to have a lot of activities in a small space than having them spread apart, but it also builds excitement for an activity if you can observe it while doing another. If there is an abundance of extra space, a good strategy is to keep amusements and activities in a dense area and allow the rest for free open play. Kids are also more likely to try things if they are close by other things, rather than making a special trip to a lonely concession on the other side of the yard.
