PARTY SOUTHSIDE

Birthday Parties are a great chance to bring some of that magic to a child or to a group of kids, and although it can be hard work the results and memories for your child make it more than worthwhile. The range of choice for Birthday Parties these days is staggering and like everything else, it is hard to please all the people all the timeeven the little people! However, it is worth remembering that it is the kids you want to impress not their parents!

To get organised, write yourself a Party Plan. Simplify the Plan by choosing the elements you want to concentrate on, broken down into VITAL and OPTIONAL

Party Venues
Lots of local places accommodate children's parties, ranging from simply hiring a room or hall to having your child's party at a special venue - you can choose from Children's PlaycentresHotels, Swimming Pools, Restaurants, Pottery Painting and even a live Radio Show or Rock Star Recording Studio Party.  If you are just hiring a room, then you can organise things much as you would at home, choosing to do the catering, decorating and entertaining yourself, or involving the help of professionals. Specialist party venues may need you to add some extras, such as the cakes andparty bags, others can do everything for you. Of course, you can combine venues, such as the cinema or theatre with a restaurant, or take a small group of children to the zoo or a farm, and have a party tea there.

Whatever your budget, don't lose sight of the reason for the party - enjoyment all round. Ask the little Birthday Person what sort of party they would like (within reason!) and who they want to invite - get some advice from teachers and playgroup leaders if you don't know all your child's friends.

Spend your money and your time wisely. If money is tight, make the things you can yourself and only spend on the things you can't. Even if you have a reasonable budget you don't need to go over-board - it is better to do a few things very well than try and do too much and end up in a muddle!
