Party Tips 4

Stage Left Magic's Tips for A Great Party Part 4 Hi, Today were going to be talking about one of the best things you can do to ensure you have a great party! Great Party Planning Tip #4 How to Structure the Party! Let's face it. In my opinion, this is the key to the vault. There have been so many parties I've been to where the kids are just left alone to run around for an hour or so until the meal is served. To me, this is a HUGE mistake. To maintain control (as well as your sanity), its necessary to structure the party from top to bottom. This will keep the kids focused and occupied throughout your party. Here is a good structure to follow. For example, a 1:00 -3:00 party would go something like this: 1:00-1:30 Games, 1:30-2:15 Entertainment (pinata, magic show, movie, etc.), 2:15-3:00 food/refreshments, 3:00-3:30 Cake and Presents...More on cake and Ice Cream later. You may notice that the major activity is scheduled at least 30 minutes into the party. This is important due to traffic delays and other minor mishaps that could cause a few of your guest to arrive late. This gives you an additional 30 minutes for guest to arrive. You might want to use this time for a quick game of Simon Says or Duck-Duck-Goose. By structuring the entire party, the event will be more memorable and special for your child because his/her friends will remember all of the 'cool things' they did at your party. You will become Super Mom or Super Dad, the hero and envy of all the other parents! Be on the look out for Quick Tips for A Great Party - Part 5!
