A children's party with parents is always a little more difficult to organize because you need to think over all the entertainment so that everyone will enjoy it, and no one gets bored. Especially for the birthday boy who has been waiting for his birthday for a long time, and would be happy to tell others how old am i today. The most obvious solution, in this case, is animators, they will be able to arrange a performance with an interactive part and involve all the guests in the process.
Determine your budget, the number and age of guests, and the location of the party. The entertainment part of the event depends on all these factors - what contests, games to hold, this is also important for the issue of decorating the room.
All of the above must be reported to the animator in advance, then, taking them into account, he will be able to choose the ideal holiday program.
Even at a joint children's party, it will be appropriate to make separate tables with refreshments. For children, something light and sweet, fruits, cakes, soda, and for adults something more satisfying.
In any holiday, you can set aside time for a dance part, competitive or regular. Animators can show movements that both children and adults will repeat.
Small souvenirs will be a pleasant bonus for guests. If the party is themed, then you need to choose the appropriate gifts. For example, for a cowboy-style party - hats, and for a Star Wars-style party - lightsaber keyrings.
You can hang a Whatman paper on the wall, and under it you can lay out felt-tip pens or colored pencils, then each guest can leave a message of congratulations to the birthday sir. In this case, it is not necessary to write, you can draw something. You will end up with one large postcard that you will definitely want to keep.
