Kids Party Planning

By Marquerite Velasquez


Whether it's a birthday party or just a gathering with your child's favorite playmates, planning a children's party is a fun but challenging task. If you aren't sure how to create the perfect children's event, here are some quick tips.

One of the easiest ways to begin is to select a special theme for your party. Your children probably will have some good suggestions, including a party based on their favorite super hero or cartoon character. You can also base the theme on their favorite activities, such as hosting a soccer party, a pool party or a magic party. Other options are creating a Hawaiian luau or perhaps your own backyard carnival party. There are tons of online sites and party stores that sell decorations and supplies for just about every theme imaginable.

It helps to have your party scheduled out a bit. You should include activities for when children arrive, as well as a set eating time, a game time, perhaps a piata time or whatever other activities you are including. Once the party begins, you don't necessarily have to stick exactly to the schedule, but having one ensures that no one will ever just be sitting around with nothing to do. Your activities can be tailored to fit the theme, such as having a magic show for a magic-themed party or a hula dance competition luau or beach party. You can also have water balloon games, sack races or even a bounce house to keep kids happy and burning off energy.

At many parties, children are served cake or maybe cupcakes from the local grocery store. This is certainly just fine, but it might be exciting to select something unique, such as ice cream sandwiches for the main treat. This doesn't mean just grabbing a box from the freezer, we mean enjoying a gourmet version created by the staff at YoKuMon. This Culver City ice cream shop creates exquisite ice cream sandwiches by placing a giant scoop of ice cream between two freshly made cookies.

A visit to YoKuMon is a great way to make any day special, but you can also bring the world of YoKuMon to your party. Catering is available for parties and special events, and your guests of all ages will love choosing from the various combinations of cookies and ice cream. There are a dozen flavors of ice cream and eight gourmet cookie styles, including chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, candy, red velvet, peanut butter and more. They even have gluten-free options so you can accommodate the needs of your individual party goers.

Don't forget to thank your friends for attending. Passing out special goodie bags make the event even more special. Try to fill your bags with items that fit the theme of the party. For instance, a princess-theme party might include a bag with a wand and tiara, as well as princess stickers. A glow party goodie bag could be filled with glow-in-the-dark and light-up favors.
