Childrens Birthday Party Planner Planning a children's birthday party is no easy task. There are some well-meaning parents who choose to set up and organize their kids' parties themselves, because not only is it cheaper than having to hire a professional birthday party planner, it also allows them to feel more bonded with their child. Now how would you know if you chose the wrong clown for your child's party? Here are 18 signs that you have been unfortunate in choosing the right clown for your child. The first sign is when by the end your child's party, he or she has got every kid riled up on his or her "pull my finger" trick. Hence, you might want to hold off on the saucy meals and go for the simple finger foods that won't find their way into the children's clothing. Cut your food servings into bite size pieces so they won't have to struggle through it. Also, while you might be tempted to serve a lot of high-sugar foods and candies, you need to control them. Just add a little creativity and you can successfully pull off a rocking children's party. The games suggested here work for almost any kids' party - not just birthdays. Why, they can even be fun for child-like adults! Treasure or Scavenger Hunt Children live for wonder and new discoveries. Why not set up a treasure hunt that would test their analytical and motor skills? Character Party You can do this kind of children's party two ways: either you choose a specific cartoon and revolve the party's theme around it, or you can hold a costume party of different characters. This child's party requires some level of preparation, but costumes are available for sale or rent everywhere, so it shouldn't be too difficult. Some parents opt to hire professional party planners to get rid of the hassle of preparations, but there are others who prefer to go the challenging (but, actually, more fulfilling) route of planning the party themselves - from the theme down to the minutest details, like the design of the table napkins.
