Not planning for the weather
There is no denying that one thing we can never change when it comes to planning any sort of occasion is the weather. As much was you pray for the sun to come out, there is nothing you can do if it starts raining. However, you can be prepared for this. If you are going to be throwing an outdoor party, make sure you keep an eye on the weather in the build-up. If you notice that any rain is going to be forecasted, you will be able to put steps in place to prepare for this so that your child’s party is not ruined.
The key is to always have a contingency plan!
Not considering transport
If the birthday party in question is going to be taking place somewhere that is not local or is in a bit of an awkward place to get to, then you need to consider transport carefully. You do not want no one to turn up to your child’s party because of this. Therefore, it is worth having a meeting point in mind and then looking for coach hire for the children and any parent that may be coming with them, as this will make it a lot easier for everyone involved and it will encourage people to come to the party.
Not planning entertainment or activities
Last but not least, this is a mistake that you definitely do not want to make. It is hard to keep a child’s attention for as long as one minute. Therefore, if you plan a party and you do not have a lot of activities involved, you are going to find it very difficult managing all of the children that are in attendance.
This can be time consuming, so if you don’t have the time or energy or if this is not something you enjoy then you can always outsource this to a party planning service such as Poptop. Alternatively there is a lot of help and inspiration online when it comes to different games and activities that can be enjoyed at children’s parties.
There we have it. Three common mistakes when it comes to organising your child’s birthday party. What about you? Have you ever made any of these?
