Some tips on hosting the perfect children's birthday party...

• Keep the numbers manageable. 12 – 15 children is ideal.
• If the kids are real littlies, say 3 years and under, you may want to cap it at 8 guests
• Have some structure to the party and keep it short and sweet.
• Send the invites out 3 weeks before so that people don't forget!
• Book with organisers as soon as you know the date as venues and kids party planners book up quickly!
• Organise RSVP's to be 1 week prior, this is ample time to finalise catering and party materials
• Think about the food...  a good balance of sweet treats and healthy savouries will keep the kids happy and the parents sane!
• Light sandwiches, plenty of refreshments and good old-fashioned favourites, such as fairy bread, decorated cookies and cupcakes.
