Here are some win-win tips for organizing an amazing holiday, where no one gets bored and everyone walks from the heart. It is important that You enjoy the preparation process!

Steps

Part 1

Decide on the place and time of the party

    Choose a date for the celebration. The sooner you decide on the date, the sooner you can move on to the next stages of planning the celebration.

    Choose a time to receive guests. The most appropriate time depends on the personality and age of the birthday person.

    • If you are throwing a party for a child, then either late morning or lunch time will do. This is the most convenient for parents.
    • It is better to plan a holiday for an adult in the evening.
  1. Decide on a budget for the celebration. It’s easy to spend a lot of money preparing for the holiday, so be sure to calculate the amount in advance and stick to it.

    • Think over the general budget, including absolutely all expenses for the celebration. The holiday budget can range from a few thousand rubles to several tens of thousands, so be realistic about how much you are willing to spend.
    • List separately all the items of expenses (invitations, festive table, preparation and decoration of the room, place of celebration) and determine the amount of each of them.
  2. Make a list of invitees. There are several reasons why this is worth doing.

    • The guest list ensures that you don't forget to invite anyone.
    • It will help you decide on the location of the party. If the guest list consists of 12 people, then you can celebrate the birthday at home, if you like it. However, for 50 people it is better to choose another place.
    • The list of invitees will help to avoid an unpleasant situation when people appear at the birthday party whom the birthday person does not want to see.
    • Knowing the number of guests, you can calculate the required amount of food and drinks for everyone if the birthday takes place at home, or order a table or hall in a restaurant for the exact number of people.
  3. Choose a place where you will celebrate your birthday. You must know the person well in order to decide on the venue for the holiday for him.

    • Take note of the wishes of the birthday man. If he wants a solemn, elegant setting, choose the appropriate place. If he prefers to celebrate in a narrow circle of friends, be guided by this option.
    • To save money, you can organize a holiday at home.
    • When planning a large-scale event that will be attended by a large number of guests, do not forget to book seats in the restaurant in advance. Most restaurants can easily seat around 25 people.
    • You can also arrange a party or reserve a banquet hall. This is a more expensive option, but this way you can invite a lot more people.
    • Review your guest list and think about where you can accommodate those overnight guests. Give them all the comfort they need. If guests include people with disabilities, such as those in wheelchairs, find out if there is access for them in the places where the party itself and the guests are planned to be accommodated.

    Part 2

    Plan the details of the celebration carefully
    1. Decide if the holiday will be dedicated to a theme. A themed birthday party is a great idea, but it can be more expensive: think about what you'll have to buy for it.

      • Weigh all the pros and cons, taking into account the opinion of the birthday man. Does he want a themed birthday?
      • Take into account the age of the hero of the occasion. Is this a holiday for an adult or a child? Choose a topic that is age appropriate. For example, for children, a topic related to a children's film, series or cartoon, circus, children's book or carnival is suitable. For adults, topics such as a black and white party, a casino, the fashion of a certain period (for example, the twenties or eighties), a famous movie or TV series are suitable.
    2. Purchase and send out invitations. After you have completed the previous steps, take on the invitations that you need to send out to all the guests on the list.

      Plan your holiday table. Depending on the theme of the holiday, you have a large selection of options.

      Figure out exactly what you will be responsible for in terms of treats. Depending on the location of the celebration, you may or may not be responsible for preparing and serving meals.

      Think about how to decorate the room, and collect everything you need. This is one of the most exciting stages in organizing a holiday!

      Choose entertainment for the holiday. This stage may include various types of fun.

      Choose what's for dessert. For a birthday party, this is the most important thing!

      • Usually you can't do without a birthday cake, especially if the birthday boy is a child. Decide whether you will bake the cake yourself or buy it from a candy store.
      • Find out what the birthday person's favorite cake is, and also take into account if any of the guests are allergic to the ingredients. For an allergic person, purchase another dessert in advance.
      • If the birthday boy doesn't want a cake, let him have whatever dessert he wants! A great substitute for a birthday cake would be mini cupcakes, brownies, sweet pies, cookies or ice cream.
    3. Have a backup plan in case of bad weather if the party is outdoors. Prepare a fallback indoors and consider how and when to notify guests.

    Part 3

    Take care of everything
    1. Call assistants who will take part in the preparation of the holiday. Since you agreed in advance, this will not come as a surprise to them, but it’s better to remind them again!

      • Decorate the room and set the festive table.
      • If you are celebrating your birthday elsewhere and bringing food with you, you need to deliver everything on time.
      • Give yourself enough time to prepare. Haste will lead to mistakes.
      • Collect everything you need in one place or assign responsibility for each "section" of the preparation. To streamline the process, you need to know where and what is.

For any person, a birthday is one of the favorite holidays, what can we say about a child? Any kid looks forward to this day and prepares for it. On this day, he receives gifts and attention, his guests come to him, and most importantly, this day passes with fun, games and interesting exciting events. At the very least, this care of parents is to make the holiday memorable. How to organize a children's birthday at home so that it is fun, interesting, tasty and exciting?

Preparation for the holiday

Birthday is ahead and you need to think through all the details of this holiday in detail. First, decide on the guests. It is unlikely that the baby will like to sit on his holiday surrounded by serious adults. It is best to invite friends, cousins ​​and sisters, classmates and neighbors who are the same age as the birthday person for the birthday. Call those whom your child loves and is friends with.

Talk to your baby, you may have forgotten about someone who the birthday boy would like to see on his holiday. When the guest list is approved, you can prepare invitations. Have your daughter or son design small cards on which to write fun rhyme invitations. For example:

  • Do you guys remember
  • My birthday is
  • So everyone on the seventh of March
  • Waiting at 6:30 I'm visiting.
  • Be sure to come
  • I will eagerly wait
  • You bring smiles
  • To share them with each other!

Invitations can be handed out with your own hand or dropped into the mailbox - it will be even more interesting. However, if you drop the invitation card in a box, be sure to make sure that the letter has reached the addressee.

If the birthday is for young children, then consider the time of their sleep. It is better to spend a holiday after a daytime sleep, the children will be well-rested and satisfied - you will not be threatened by whims.

Room decoration

Well, what a children's holiday can do without balloons and holiday caps. Take care of this in advance. On X-day, inflate balloons and decorate the room with them. You can hang posters on the wall that say "Happy Birthday!". As guests gather, invite everyone to put on party caps. You can buy them or make your own. You can also buy crackers with confetti or ribbons, but only if there are no kids. Small children may be frightened by loud and harsh sounds.

How to feed small children at home is another important issue. Because most kids are picky eaters. If a child has a birthday of the first three or four years, it is necessary to cook something healthy that small children eat. Soup with noodles and meatballs, mashed potatoes with meatballs, potato zrazy, cottage cheese pancakes. If there is at least one kid among the guests, take care of him, because the food from the common table is not yet available to him.

For older children (from five years old), the menu may be similar to an adult, but children do not always need mayonnaise salads and veal chops. To please children and teenagers, you can make homemade hamburgers and hot dogs, fry a whole mountain of french fries, cook or buy pizza. Drinks are required - soda or compote. You can cook nuggets - they fly away to "Hurrah". Also on the children's table, fruit platter is preferable. Such a set of products will really delight your little guests.

Cake is a must for dessert. Children prefer fruit and chocolate cakes, but the birthday person is the main choice on this day. You can cook an additional dessert - ice cream. Take regular ice cream and arrange it in balls in vases. Add fruits and nuts to it, pour over the jam syrup. It turns out very tasty, interesting and inexpensive.

Between main meals, children need to be occupied so that they do not get bored. In fact, holding a children's birthday is not an easy task. Here you will not get off with interesting conversations, as with adults. Children require constant attention, they need to be occupied with something all the time, otherwise they can start playing pranks or simply get bored. Therefore, after a delicious feast, you can hold several interesting competitions.

To do this, you need one adult leader who can quickly steer the situation if everything does not go according to plan. The host will definitely encourage the daredevils who do not refuse to participate in the competitions first, and will also cheer up the overly shy little guest.

Contests do not have to be consecutive. It is better to mix competitions with a feast, games, dances and other entertainments. As prizes for the winners, you can prepare small gifts - chocolates, toys, pencils, crayons, etc. Here is an example of several children's contests that will easily entertain the kids at a children's birthday party.

  1. "The sea worries once!". For this competition, everyone goes to an open dance area. The music turns on. The host says "The sea worries once, the sea worries two!". Children at this time dance and grimace. When he says “The sea is rough three!”, the children should freeze in their poses. Then the host carefully watches them and makes them laugh. Whoever moves first loses and is out of the game. One less person goes to the next round. The one who lasts the longest wins.
  2. "Chairs". This is a classic and hackneyed competition, which, nevertheless, is very popular with the kids. There must be an open space for the competition so that the children have somewhere to run. Chairs are placed in a circle, one less than the children participating in the competition. When the music starts, everyone starts running around the chairs. And when it turns off, you need to quickly take a free chair. The one who is left without a chair is out. In the next round, one chair is also removed.
  3. "Portrait of a birthday boy". This competition will keep the kids busy for at least 15-20 minutes. They need to distribute small sheets of paper and pencils and ask them to draw a portrait of the birthday man. Your baby will like it, because today all the attention is only for him. The winner is determined by the birthday person.
  4. "Fight of balls". This competition will require the help of two adults and 5-8 balloons. Adults stretch the blanket vertically, improvising a volleyball net. Children are divided into two teams and stand on different sides of the bedspread. The children are given balls, and the children throw them to the next side. The goal of the competition is not to have a single balloon left on your side.
  5. "Rope with chairs." Two chairs are placed side by side with their backs to each other. A rope is stretched under the legs of the chairs - one end is near the legs of one participant sitting on a chair, and the other is near the second. At the leader’s command, you need to quickly exchange chairs with a friend and pull the rope by the end. Whoever pulls the rope the fastest is the winner.
  6. "Questions about the birthday boy". The host prepares in advance several questions about the birthday man, his life, hobbies. The one who gives the most correct answers wins.
  7. "Chamomile". In advance, you need to prepare a chamomile from paper, and write tasks for children on the back. Each child chooses a petal and performs the task that has fallen out for him to the music. It's very fun and interesting. Tasks can be different - sing a song, recite a verse, walk in single file, crow, tell a tongue twister or jump on one leg.
  8. "Birthday Contest" The birthday boy sits on a chair, with his back to his friends. Children take turns meowing, barking, croaking and mooing, and the main hero of the occasion tries to guess who made this or that sound.

Other entertainment for a children's holiday

In addition to competitions, there are a huge number of other entertainments that will amuse your little guests.

  1. There are large coloring papers in stationery stores that are very exciting to color with a large group.
  2. Recently, such entertainment as face painting is gaining popularity. This is when a child is painted with special safe paints. His face is turned into the muzzle of a fox, a cat or a bear cub. You can master the technique yourself or invite a special artist.
  3. Karaoke. Children love to sing no less than adults, so organize this entertainment for them. In parallel, you can arrange a disco for the guys.
  4. As additional performances, you can arrange a soap bubble show, a puppet theater, invite actors in colorful costumes or become them yourself. Costumes for children's cartoon characters can be rented from the Actor's Studio.
  5. At the end of the holiday, you can organize fireworks or simply launch balloons filled with gas into the sky. You can also launch lanterns into the air with wishes for the birthday man.

The end of the holiday

Children's holiday is short, because the guys get tired quickly. The most optimal is 3-4 hours. Here it is very important to tactfully end the holiday so that the children go home happy. Tell the guests that the holiday is coming to an end, but before they leave, have them write wishes for the birthday man on a large piece of paper. And you can also record a video message for him, which will remain a memory for many years.

Before the children leave, ask them how they will get home. Escort the children if necessary. Be sure to call the guests' parents and make sure they reach the house.

Children's holiday largely depends on adults. And the task of parents is to provide the child with an unforgettable birthday, which the baby will remember for a whole year.
