Step-By-Step Guide To Planning The Ultimate Children’s Day Party 

 
 
With Children’s Day coming up next month, why not celebrate this day with a party! Now that you have the date and guest list set, what next? Here’s a step-by-step guide to planning the ultimate Children’s Day party that your kids are sure to enjoy! 
 

Step 1: Choose a theme 

 
This is probably the most crucial step in planning the perfect party. The theme will determine most, if not all, aspects, of the party. From the décor to the activities and even right down to the food, all these will be determined by the theme. Of course, don’t forget to involve your child in this decision. It’s for them after all, and you want to make sure that they have a blast! 
 
 
Superhero-themed parties are popular with kids.
 
Having a character-themed party is always a popular choice. Characters like superheroes, Peppa Pig, and My Little Pony are some of the trendier ones. The kids can come dressed according to theme of the party and which makes for lots of picture-perfect moments. Another option is to have a hobby-inspired theme to the party like an arts & crafts themed one, which is more gender-neutral. 
 
 
Balloons are must-haves for any party.
 
Once the theme is set, you’ll be able to get the decoration and party. DIY your own décor and have your kids join in for a fun family activity. If you’re pressed for time, get your party supplies from Kidz Party Store. Besides the typical helium balloons, you can get unique ones like this standing dinosaur balloon. They also offer balloon packages if you’re planning to deck out the entire area with them.

Step 2: Pick a venue 

 
The number of guests you have, and the theme of the party are some of the things to consider when choosing a venue. For smaller groups, a cozy party at home will be great! You’ll know exactly where everything is which makes things less stressful and much more convenient. 
 
 
Perfect for larger group gatherings.
 
For larger groups, you might want to book out a space like the Party Room at Waterway Point. Located at level 2, this place is perfect for large gatherings of up to 40 pax. It’s equipped with a television, Blu-ray player with sound system and a pantry area. Plus, it’s just a few steps away from Happy Park, a wet and dry playground, so you can let the kids roam about and play their hearts out!

If you’re not the best cook, make simple foods like sandwiches special by cutting them up into cute shapes using cookie cutters. Not only are they yummy, they look adorable as well.
