Thus, if you want to have an extra fun birthday celebration for your child, a themed party should be in the works. The theme could be very specific, like pirates, luau, outer space, princess, or whatever, or it could just be a party where everyone can dress up as anyone or anything they like. You can make up your kids costume or you can purchase a ready made one directly from a costume shop or a party supplies store. You can modify them to your child's liking if you wish. Themed Party Children love make believe games because it gives them a sense of wonder and discovery. Thus, what more can you give an inquisitive and curious child than a themed birthday party? Girls can have fairy-themed or Bratz-themed parties, while boys may find some comfort with sports-themed or car-themed parties. While party planners are already seasoned and experienced with what they do, none of their efforts would work if they don't first understand what your child and the children who will be attending are interested in. Clowns are staple birthday party entertainment. So are magicians and face painters. Be careful with bringing in characters though, because not all children respond positively to clowns and mascots. If the planner does not seem to like children, then it's not likely that he or she will be able to come up with a fun and memorable children's birthday party. Referrals from friends and relatives are also valuable. At least you are assured that somebody you know has good things to say about your prospect. Character Party You can do this kind of children's party two ways: either you choose a specific cartoon and revolve the party's theme around it, or you can hold a costume party of different characters. This child's party requires some level of preparation, but costumes are available for sale or rent everywhere, so it shouldn't be too difficult. Learning from other people's blunders will help ensure that your party goes smoothly. But, of course, no party is perfect. And it is in the boo-boos that the memories and milestones come. Below are several children's birthday party games you might want to consider: 1) The "Who Am I" Game When the young guests arrive, stick a picture of an object or an animal on their backs and tell them to ask each other questions that can only be answerable with "yes" or "no" to guess what was written there.
