Remember, it's your child's party on the line, so you definitely want to have someone who can give you your money's worth. If you're lucky (and really trying not to spend so much), you can ask a friend to dress up as a clown for the event. You'd be surprised that some of your close friends will be willing to act goofy to help you out. 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. Besides, a little creativity and ingenuity on your part can go a very long way. What makes children's parties extra fun are the unique themes that go with them. These are pin the tail games readily available at party supplies shops, but you can also make these yourself for a more personal touch. Get a piece of poster paper and draw on it, depending on your child's preference. You can even ask your kid to draw on it prior to the party. Pinata Perhaps one of the most common elements of traditional children's birthday parties is the pinata. You don't need to go for the big-ticket party planner to ensure a fun and smooth-sailing event, but you do need a planner who is in tune with your child's interest and needs. 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. Contrary to the usual impression, holding a children's birthday party is not really so expensive to pull off. With the right kind of entertainment, a little creativity, you will be able to come up with a party that will have everyone raving about it for days. Fun is not measured by how much you've spent on a particular event. You can spread out coins in your yard and tell the kids to hunt them down, it is actually just like the famous Easter egg hunt. You can also conceal each kid's treats bag and then give each child a hint for finding it. You might as well write the hint on a piece of paper in case the child forgets it.
