When planning a toddler birthday party, it is important to consider these 5 tips to help keep yourself organized and stress free throughout the process and the event.
Plan Ahead
-
Start planning at least a month ahead of time in order to give yourself ample time to make sure everything is in order. Making a checklist can help you to keep track of what you will need as well as phone calls you need to make, and invitations you need to send. Break everything down into major categories such as food and cake, games, decorations, invitations, goody bags, and entertainment.

Next, choose a date and time that will work best for you. Check with some guest first to see if this seems like a good day for most people. Just be sure not to conflict with any other big events like a school function or another party. Once you have the day, it is often a good idea to choose an afternoon party. This will give you plenty of time to set up and get ready before your party guests arrive for the festivities.
