Planning a party, even a birthday party for kids, should not be too hard as long as you stick with the basics. Make sure the guests attend, serve good food and make the theme great.

Sending the Invitations

First, you have to know that the party preparations start rolling when you send out the invitations. Make sure the number of invites you send out tally with the number of people you are renting tables and chairs for. Every guest on the list should have a seat. Prepare for when people bring along other guests. Add a few extra chairs and a table or two for this eventuality.

Sending the invitations is a particularly important part of the planning. Guests are important to any party. The schedule you choose for your party must fit the schedule of guests.

Decor

The kids should be able to relate with the decor. Some kids still remember the classics like Disney characters, but they probably wouldn’t remember the stars of a cartoon in the distant past like that dragon in Mulan. Kids like to have their favorite cartoon characters around when they celebrate. Toy Story and Cars are great themes.

Food for Serving

The menu should be related with the theme of the party. For a kids birthday party, you need to prepare food that kids can eat. No fancy sushi party or spicy food if the majority of the guests are kids. The basics like chicken and fries are great, but they should be served nicely. Spaghetti is a good food to serve, but be prepared for the mess. Drinks can be served buffet style. You should also provide a place for grown-ups. When you plan your menu, you have to consider the time of day. A lunch or dinner should have several courses. You are better off serving snacks. Dessert items are great to accompany a meal but they should not be all that you serve. Ice cream in particular should not sit on the table melting.
