Do you need a checklist to help you plan your child’s birthday party? Grab my free PDF printable kids’ party checklist so you can plan the perfect party.

Then breathe a sigh of relief as you rest assured that planning your child’s birthday party will now be just that little bit easier. 

The thing about hosting a truly wonderful kids party is that it takes a LOT of organisation.

It’s like the analogy of watching a duck gliding seemingly effortlessly across a pond, whilst underneath its little webbed feet are paddling like crazy. 

So, whilst there are no two ways about it, hosting a kids’ birthday party is HARD. WORK.

There are some things you can do to make your child’s next birthday party just that little bit easier to organise and host. 

One thing you can do is use a party checklist to make sure you cover off every element in the planning stage so that you don’t come unstuck on the day. 

Not got one to hand?

Worry not, simply scroll to the end of this post and grab my free printable kids party planning checklist. 

I’ve put my years of experience hosting kids’ parties to good use and listed out all the different elements that you could conceivably need to cover in the planning and hosting of your next kids’ party. 

You don’t have to cover every element for every party. But you’ll be able to choose the things you do and the things you decide not to do, rather than being mid-party and realising that you’ve forgotten something. 

NB: I’ve also created my own 20 Page Kids’ Birthday Party Planner, which I’ve packaged up as a PDF you can download and print, or upload to your favourite Note Taking App.

Want to take your planning to the next level?

After hosting many a kids’ party I created my own Kids’ Birthday Party Planner, specifically for planning parties for kids. It’s the planner I wish I’d had right from the start.

It covers every aspect of planning, so that come the day of the party, you will be on top of everything, enjoy hosting and give your child a party to remember.

You can print it out or upload it to your favourite Note Taking App.
