Your daughter’s
10th birthday is one of the most anticipated days of your life. As a
parent, there is nothing more exciting than seeing your child happy and on her
birthday. You want her to be happier than the ordinary days. So what do you do
for her 10th birthday?
Planning
birthday parties can be a hassle since you need to build a list of things to
accomplish. One of the best things to do is have theme determined beforehand so
you’ll base all your work and effort in completing a certain theme. A 10 year
old is still a kid, but is halfway through being a teenager, right? So, you
need to create a party which is not too kiddie and a little teeny.
Two months
before the birthday, choose a theme with your daughter. She may have a
favourite cartoon character. Most grownup girls like princesses like the little
ones but you can add a bit of style to the theme so it does not look like a
kindergarten party. She’ll appreciate it that you know how to tailor the theme
to her growing years. Adding a little black to the theme is just alright.
Determine who
goes to the party. Discuss this with
your daughter since she may have a lot of friends to invite. This is important
so you can determine how much food you are going to serve. Ten year olds are
not so fussy with food anymore and they can be served with personalised rock candy in the sweets corner. Rock candies are
great for catching attention and giving a delightful mood to the party. They
come in the best combinations and can show designs on the candy itself. Ask an
online store if they also sell personalisedlollypops.
Hire a party
entertainer. It can be a magician or a puppeteer but to know what would suit
your child’s party, you can ask other parents if they have experienced hiring
either one. Clowns are heavily made up which can scare some kids. So, to make
them used to how a real clown looks like, give the child exposure to it through
posting on the refrigerator door. This creates a comfort level for the child
since it won’t be strange for her during the day of the party.
Search for
these entertainers from ads in the parenting pages of your local newspaper. You
may also ask other parents for their recommendations. When considering an
entertainer, request to be referred to the last event where the entertainer
performed for children. Other parents can also point you to a reliable
entertainer and have a talk with the person at least 6 weeks before the event
since they can be fully booked already when you have finally approached them in
the last hour.
