How to Plan the Perfect Party for Your Child

Planning the perfect party for your child is near the top of the list for many parents as they want their child's birthday party to be special, memorable, and most of all ? fun! Many parents aren't as

successful as they may hope when it comes to planning their children's parties. This is where Beverly Davies' book, How to Plan the Perfect Party for Your Child (published by Random House) comes into play. Davies offers up some great ideas that will allow parents to organize a children's party, which will be the talk of all the other mums and dads in the neighbourhood.

How to Plan the Perfect Party for Your Child is chock full of creative tips and tricks to make any child's party one of the best shindigs a parent has ever thrown. Davies covers such topic as choosing the right paper plates and décor, age appropriate foods, games, party favours, and cakes for children's birthday parties and other get-togethers that involve youngsters. For parents whose creativity runs out at adding food colouring to the frosting for cupcakes, this book is a gift from Heaven! Davies knows that party-throwing doesn't end at the second birthday party, so she includes party ideas for ages one to twenty-one!

Author Davies has two children of her own (almost full grown now) that have inspired her many books on family, children, and parenting topics and How to Plan the Perfect Party for Your Child is no exception. In this book she explores various ideas on how to pick a party theme, which is very popular among today's children. Common themes that are offered up include Harry Potter, pirates, and jungle parties to boot! She even gets creative with throwing a grown up child's twenty-first birthday party with smashing success.

How to Plan the Perfect Party for Your Child is such an innovative book that it goes beyond the typical party planning ideas and dedicates an entire chapter filled with original party ideas. In this chapter parents can learn how to throw the best slumber party ever, camping sleepovers, treasure hunts, and even cookery days. Aside from the types of parties and themes parents can choose from, Davies also offers up plenty of entertainment ideas for these parties ranging from the appearance of clowns to fruit bats to pythons.

The main idea that Davies gets across in How to Plan the Perfect Party for Your Child is that the budget should never be the main factor when putting on such a party. The amount of thought, ingenuity, and creativity that goes into the party is what will make it a party that a child will remember, for the rest of his or her life.
