Parents Opinons Please?

Question

I Plan on Starting a Party Buisness for Children in the furture I would appriciate some advice and infromation.

Each Party Would Include

-Invitations

-Set Up

-Craft

-Games

-Cupcakes/Snacks

-Clean Up

-Thank You Cards

What I am wondering is what theme your child would choose what is his/her age and what size costume would he/she wear. Also if you are good with things like this and would like to list age groups for each theme it would be great.

Princess - Every Girl Dreams of being a Princess so why not make her dream come true for her special day. Your little princess will get the royal treatment with a special tiara, light makeup, and her choice of a Princess gown. Each of her princess friends will also get to choose a favorite dress to wear for the party. The girls will complete a princess craft and have fun playing princess games they will then get to sit down to a beautiful table set up with tea cups and cupcakes.

Answer 1

my daughter just turned 10,  she would enjoy a crafty party where kids could make things together.

She went to another girl's party that was a cooking party.  They liked that very much.  They all made their own personal size pizzas.  Later they made ice cream sundees.  They got to take home aprons, a mixing spoon, cookie cutter & recipes for things they had made.

the little girls I know do love to dress up, you could give the parents a choice of just letting them use the dresses for the party or paying more to take them home.  If that is too expensive, they could have wigs that they got to take home

Answer 2

Littler children will be more into this then older kids so draw some of your ideas around popular TV shows.  For instance Dora the explorer.... have clues give the birthday kid a backpack find the prize at the end.

Another one for the slightly older kids, would be "I-Carly" where you set up a "set" and video a show that the parents can keep on a DVD for eternity.

One of the things you did not bring up however is bonding and insurance.  If a kid falls down and breaks a leg at one of your parties, even if you have everyone sign a waiver, you could still end up being sued for everything you have and will make for the next 7 years.  Also if little Teddy's, Teddy comes up missing after the party, the parents will come after you.....

Otherwise the idea is great, I remember my son's 5yr old party where we took him to McD's.  He got a cake, they played on the playset, but we parents got a person that dealt with the whole thing while we actually got to enjoy the day.....  You'll do well!

Answer 3

ages 6... pirate, size 6

Answer 4

Princess

Answer 5

My daughter said the cowgirl & boy, then she could invite her boy cousins and girl school friends. I think that's valid, because you have lots of girly ones, and then someunisex ones, but nothing completely male. How about a football themed party? They could play human table football if it's nice out.

Answer 6

No way would any of my kids (including my girls) choose any of the "girlie" themes for the party.  Do keep in mind that up through kindergarten or so most parties tend to be for mixed genders.

Riding a horse would likely spark my kids' interests (ages 4-7 or so).    Possibly the jungle theme or circus theme, too (maybe 4-6).  My experience is that by first grade or so themed parties aren't really what my kids and their friends are looking for.

Typically (though there's a huge range, and it's not true for my kids, who are small for their age) kids wear the size that corresponds with their age (a 5-year-old would wear a 5, for example).  You'd probably want to err on the side of being too big, though.
