Kid's Party Planning 101: It's all about Timing

When planning for your kid's birthday party, timing can spell a big difference between having a happy, memorable one and a disastrous one. Here's how to use time wisely when it comes to party planning.

Plan Early, Book Early. If you're planning to have your kid's party held outside your homes, then make sure to scout for a venue ahead of time. I'm talking about more than a month's time, not just a few days or weeks. This would give you a chance to compare prices and study each venue's options and offerings. Ask if they have promos on the month of your planned party date. Make sure to ask them what other fees they charge other than the use of their venue. For example, most venues charge a certain corkage fee for drinks and foods that will be brought inside the venue. You should also think about whether you're avail of the food packages of the venue (if they offer one) or to avail the services of a food caterer. Once you have compared and decided on the venue, book it ahead, or at least make a reservation for the party date.

Some people who decided on a venue at the last minute will find themselves in a problem when the venue is already booked for another event. Not only that, you might end up choosing a venue with lesser value and worst, at a higher accommodation cost that you can't say no simply because you're out of options (unless you want to settle for home picnic party instead!).

Here's another interesting tip: if party time is not an issue, plan for 2-5pm schedule, which is after lunch and before dinner. That way your guest wouldn't be expecting a full meal.

Booking for a venue is just one part of the early planning scheme. Find and book your party as well with a reputable Party Planning Company. Just as venues can have their schedules fully-booked, party organizers also have a schedule to follow and to book clients with.

When you book your schedule with the party planner, make sure to provide all the essential details, like date, time, venue, celebrator's name, party theme, among others. Ask for their party packages and what other add-ons they can provide.
