I am a birthday party vet...What a beautiful cake!!!<br />I am a birthday party veteran (three teens) and came up with the perfect formula (much easier and less time than a slumber party, which may seem like it is easier but definitely takes more time and attention since kids stay overnight. I did do slumber parties when my kids got much older (11-12) and were beyond the "party" phase.<br /><br />1. Invite as many guests as age of birthday child.<br />2. Have party in mid afternoon for 1.5 hours (1-2:30, 2-3:30) so there is no need for a meal. I once had a party for 2 hours and THIS WAS TOO LONG!!<br />3. As guests arrive have birthday child open presents. This is very fun and exciting for birthday child and other children are entertained - guest kids also just like seeing other kids houses. Kids never arrive all at once, and generaly trickle in so this can take 15-20 min.<br />4. Have an official activity for 40-45 min. A game, a video, wii or xbox when they are older.<br />5. It is now about an hour into the partuy - time for cake and ice cream!<br />6. I always ended with a piniata (if you puy the right kind they are reusable). Kids love doing this and I generally filled them with candy, candy, candy as well as small age appropriate small things including things my kids got from other parties that they never touched (pencils, stickers, erasers etc). <br />7. Each kid got a special decorated bag to use for thier piniata goodies and this served as a "favor". Actually as I am typing this I realize that the "activity" could be to decorate the bag! <br />8. 1.5 hours are up and time to go home!<br /><br />Note: I often saved my own kids favors from birthday parties by putting them in the glove compartment when the got in the car (if they did not seem to really care abou them). Then I would take them into a restaurant where they helped pass the time while waiting for food!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-1338829822439123512018-01-16T16:55:34.004-05:002018-01-16T16:55:34.004-05:00Thanks!
