Party Guests

Now you’re well on the way to organising your child’s party, but we’re missing something important. What could that be? Oh yes....guests!

You now have the fun job of deciding how BIG (or how small) a party you are comfortable arranging.
The tendency nowadays seems to be to invite the whole class if your child is at school The majority of parties I perform at currently have between 20-30 children.

That can be a really good thing, as the children all know each other well, you’ll know most, if not all, of the parents and with 25-30 kids you can get a really fun, exciting atmosphere during the party (and of course, you child ends up with more birthday presents!!)

However, if you do invite “everyone”, you find yourself automatically planning and preparing a much larger party. That means more food, more party bags...and more noise during the party!

Should a larger party not be your ideal thing, please be assured that there is absolutely nothing wrong at all with deciding to have a smaller scale party - maybe 10-15 close friends.

A smaller party will be easier and cheaper to organise, and it gives you more opportunity to hold the party at your home.

Personally, Mike thinks that both options can work really well, and both large and smaller parties can be GREAT fun for the children.

It is, once again, a personal choice for you to make.
