Planning The Perfect Kids Party

Planning The Perfect Kids Party

By Marquerite Velasquez


Whether it's a birthday party or just a gathering with your child's favorite playmates, planning a children's party is a fun but challenging task. If you aren't sure how to create the perfect children's event, here are some quick tips.

A great kid's party definitely needs to have a theme, and using a theme actually makes it all a lot easier for the planners. You can choose any type of theme you want, and there is really no end to the possible choices. It could be based on a popular TV or cartoon character or super hero or have another type of theme. A carnival theme with games could be fun, a magic theme is another option, but you could also have a luau or a beach-themed party. You could even plan a party based on a favorite sport or a video game. For just about every type of party, there are decorations, plates, napkins and other items available to suit that theme.

It helps to have your party scheduled out a bit. You should include activities for when children arrive, as well as a set eating time, a game time, perhaps a piata time or whatever other activities you are including. Once the party begins, you don't necessarily have to stick exactly to the schedule, but having one ensures that no one will ever just be sitting around with nothing to do. Your activities can be tailored to fit the theme, such as having a magic show for a magic-themed party or a hula dance competition luau or beach party. You can also have water balloon games, sack races or even a bounce house to keep kids happy and burning off energy.

At many parties, children are served cake or maybe cupcakes from the local grocery store. This is certainly just fine, but it might be exciting to select something unique, such as ice cream sandwiches for the main treat. This doesn't mean just grabbing a box from the freezer, we mean enjoying a gourmet version created by the staff at YoKuMon. This Culver City ice cream shop creates exquisite ice cream sandwiches by placing a giant scoop of ice cream between two freshly made cookies.

A visit to YoKuMon is a great way to make any day special, but you can also bring the world of YoKuMon to your party. Catering is available for parties and special events, and your guests of all ages will love choosing from the various combinations of cookies and ice cream. There are a dozen flavors of ice cream and eight gourmet cookie styles, including chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, candy, red velvet, peanut butter and more. They even have gluten-free options so you can accommodate the needs of your individual party goers.

Don't forget to thank your friends for attending. Passing out special goodie bags make the event even more special. Try to fill your bags with items that fit the theme of the party. For instance, a princess-theme party might include a bag with a wand and tiara, as well as princess stickers. A glow party goodie bag could be filled with glow-in-the-dark and light-up favors.
