KIDS BIRTHDAY PARTY - SCOTLAND |
| |
|
Scotland kids parties are getting better
and more fun all the time. There are a number of key
ingredients to making your kids birthday in Scotland a great success. Most kids parties have some kind theme, often related to a TV show, cartoon character or movie star that they love, or a classic style such as pirates or princesses (sometimes it's all three in one). You may want to buy a fancy dress costume for the birthday girl or boy to make the day super special. All kids love birthday cake, and again you can apply the theme to this, and these days cakes can be filled and covered with pretty much anything! Today's Party Game Suggestion:

| KIDS BIRTHDAY PARTY - TIPS FOR SUCCESS! | ||
|
|
In all the preparation for the party, there are undoubtedly a few things you might overlook, so here are some top tips to help make your child's birthday party a great success:
1) Blow the balloons up on the morning of the party, not the day before... you don't want sad balloons, half deflated. If you are getting helium balloons, make sure you know who is going to pick them up from the store. 2) Charge the battery in the camera. You don't want to take the first photo and see the battery light appear. You should also check that you have enough space on the memory card, or enough film. 3) If there are brothers and sisters of the party boy or girl, try to involve them in the organisation. It will give them a sense of purpose and prevent some of the jealousy that could start when all the attention is away from them. | |

| Quick tip for a great birthday part in Scotland: The typical birthday party lasts around two hours. If you plan on 15 minutes at the beginning of the party for late arrivals and 45 minutes for birthday cake and opening presents, that leaves a full hour you must fill with other activities and entertainment | ||

| HIRING AN ENTERTAINER | ||
|
Many children's entertainers such as clowns or puppet
shows require a
deposit to reserve the date, and will often take a booking as short as as
a half hour - although you may pay a little above the standard hourly
rate. Make sure that you confirm the booking a few days before! Obviously if you need the birthday clown to do all the
activities they offer, you'll need more time.
Clowns are the best known party entertainment, but
there are other good kids birthday party ideas.
Magicians for kids parties tend to put on a show that is half magic, half comedy - and that's the kind of fun that kids want at a birthday party. Make sure you don't accidentally book a corporate entertainer who is used to performing 'seriously'.
Some party
magicians are also balloon artists, or comedians.
If there are a few teenagers at the party, you can spice it up with a little karoake!
Whoever you hire, we recommend you take up a couple of
references for local entertainers in Scotland. |
