Kids’ birthdays

Plan a kids’ birthday party

Choose the length and guest list before buying decorations. Parents need clear information about supervision, siblings, food, and pickup.

Write the invitation for parents

State the child’s name and age, whether adults should stay, whether siblings can attend, what food is being served, and what children should wear or bring.

Keep the schedule simple

  • Arrival and free play
  • One planned activity
  • Food and cake
  • A short final activity while families leave

Count people, not replies

A reply from one parent may represent several adults and children. PartyWelcome keeps the household count separate so food and seating are based on people rather than response cards.
