• Pick the party day and time that ensures maximum attendance and especially by the best friend of your child. Try to make it on the weekend.
• Choose the party theme that suits and is comfortable with kids and their parents such as the costume party which should not be difficult to find out.

Take extra precautions if there are stairs, swimming pool, glass windows and doors, busy streets, etc.

• Decoration of the premises should be kids friendly and  a bunch of balloons can be tied on the entrance or mailbox so that guests can easily pinpoint the location.
• Plan for the food you are going to serve.
• Talk to the person who can assist you with the party. It can be your friend, relative or neighbor. Give her the responsibility to take care of gifts.
• Contact party suppliers for things like cake, napkins and plates, etc.
