Take the stress out of planning a party for your little one with these helpful tips! Includes a handy printable checklist to stick on your fridge.
TIP 1
The most important thing is to be organised! Try and start planning 6 weeks out. This is the time to choose the theme for your little ones party. Although if your little one is anything like my girls they have the party theme planned a year in advanced! Buy the decorations and tableware as early as you can to avoid delivery delays and not receiving your items on time.
TIP 2
Get family members involved to help out with making the party favours, organise the games or hire a professional to do the balloons and decorations! Any help will take the stress out of throwing a party.
