Creating fun memories

Although kids’ parties can be stressful and slightly challenging to plan; your child is sure to get so much out of it and have such a good time as they celebrate their special day. Kid’s parties are all about having fun but there are real benefits that go with having a party too, that parents probably don’t’ even think about like.

Most people can look back on their childhood and recall a few magical memories from a children’s party that was either thrown in their honour or that they attended in order to celebrate someone else. These occasions often live long in the memory and as a parent, it can be just as exciting to throw your own child a party and give them tonnes of wonderful memories to look back on.

The interaction that children experience with other kids of a similar age is vital in their early development. Their interaction and social skills will be developed as they have heaps of fun, constantly interacting with their friends.

One of the most important parts of any kids’ party is the children’s party entertainer and not just because they hold the focus of the children whilst you can take a break. A great kids party entertainer will be able to really amaze the children and open their eyes to host of really exciting activities, invigorate their imaginations. The first time a child sees a seemingly impossible magic trick, or their made to feel really special will provide an unforgettable memory and teach them something really new and intriguing.

As a child, there’s nothing more exciting than your birthday party. But as a parent, one of the best parts of throwing a party for your child is the priceless look on their face as they enjoy their special day and the delightful way in which they tell you all things they loved about it.

 

Monsters Inc…

This little boy was mad on Monsters Inc and he wanted anything to do with Mike Wysocki!!

INVITATIONS: 

Invitations can be bought as there are lots of merchandise from the Monsters Inc film, but for these invitations we downloaded from the internet was a cute picture of ‘Mike Wysocki’ from the internet and stuck them onto card.  The invitations said ‘You’re invited to a pool party for Jacob’s 5th birthday’ it also had important information like: Date Time Place RSVP info.

DECORATIONS: 

Since the party was at a pool, there was no need for a lot of party decorations.  We had a poster board sign for the entrance that said Welcome to Jacob’s MONSTER of a party! with a clipart Mike on it too.  For the tables, we filled metal buckets with glass beads, blowers, & clipart Mike on sticks and attached balloons.  I did lime green balloons and attached cut-out eyeballs & smiles to make the balloons look like Mike.

PARTY BAGS: 

Since Mike is the comedian of Monsters Inc. we bought a joke books to fill the bags.  Also had bubbles for younger brothers and sisters at the party.  To the books & the bubbles, we tied suckers and a tag that said thank you for coming to my MONSTER of a party with a Mike clipart.  We used round suckers and glued a lime green circle & big wiggly eye to them to look like Mike.

FOOD:

Simple and easy food, like pizzas, popcorn, jelly and sandwiches which we put a little green food dye on to make them more monstrous!! For dessert, we served choc chip ice cream with a Mike cake.  We made the Mike cake with a large round cake pan and lime green icing with his trade make one big eye. We used plain lime green plates, napkins, cups, etc. It turned out great and was a really fun party and exactly what he wanted.
