Many event managers build their businesses around kids party planning and child-friendly party supplies. Parents will always throw parties for their little ones, and they won’t quit ’til the child reaches adulthood. Within the sub-niches in the party planning industry, kids party planning is the largest, most complex and most lucrative. There are simply so many ways to plan a kids party. You can choose to go with a popular party theme, like those patterned around television shows (Dora the Explorer and Spongebob). You can even plan around a favourite past time, i.e. a finger painting party.

Here are some tips for kids party planning

1. Send party theme implements with the invitation

Are you having a pirate kids party? You can purchase eye patches from your favourite party supply shops and craft stores, and send them out with the invitations. If you’re having a “wizard” theme party, you can send the magic wands.

2. A birthday party needs new ideas

Let’s face it, being able to throw a unique and memorable party for your child increases parental pride. Moms and dads will always want the trendiest giveaways, the best food, the best balloons, the most extravagant cakes. Most parents will plan their children's parties themselves, but there are those who will take the plunge and hire party planners. Either they cannot afford to risk the “chic” aspect of their child’s party or they want only the best. This means they will opt-out if your ideas are too simple or too drab. So perk up!

3. Innovate

No matter how many party supply catalogs you look at or magazines you read, sometimes you just hit a wall and can’t come up with anything unique. When this happens, you should use old concepts but incorporate new things, like face painting or balloon sculpture tutorials. Talk to kids and ask for suggestions. Most often, a fresh viewpoint is enough to get you out of that trough and get you actively thinking up new themes again.

4. Teach kids the value of memories

Bring out the old Polaroid and snap photos of the kids with their friends. Distribute scrapbook pages and art supplies, and just let the kids create! It's best to assign a "scrapbooking assistant" per table to help the kids. Letting them dressup their "friendship photos" will encourage them to value memories with friends and loved ones. You can even let them create their own giveaway boxes. Just paste the photos onto a cardboard box and let them decorate the boxes.

5. Hire a good host

Some kids love clowns, while other kids like grown ups they can idolize. Hire a good disc jockey or a clown to keep the fun going, and to encourage the kids to participate in kids party games. The host should really like kids and have the patience of a saint. In fact, you can hire a team of hosts so that you can plan one or two mom activities while the kids are having a blast!
