Got a List of Kids Birthday Party Places, but Need Help Narrowing It Down?
There are a lot of things to consider when choosing the ideal location for your kid’s birthday party. Need a checklist to follow? Party Planning Solutions has you covered. Just keep in mind the following questions when looking at party venues:
What’s your budget?
Make sure to know everything that’s included in the cost. Consider the costs of food, decorations, and favors along with the venue.
How many children and parents will be at the event?
Some venues are better suited for smaller crowds and others for larger ones. Some venues have a limit.
Will you need chaperones? How many?
For public places that don’t have a closed off party space, you may need a few extra hands to watch the children so they don’t go running off on their own. However, this might not be a concern if the kids are older.
Can you supply your own party gear, food and drinks? Will the venue have restrictions on any of these?
Bringing your own supplies and food can save you bundles if the venue doesn’t have any rules against that. Just be sure to verify with the manager what you’re allowed to bring and not to bring. Most venues will provide tables, chairs and other equipment with the reservation. They may even include catering for the event. Just make sure you know what’s included and what’s not.
Do they have a set-up crew to help prepare before and tear down after?
This will save you a lot of time and allow you to focus on the kids and guests. At some venues, they may even help chaperone the event if needed.
Does the venue have plenty of available parking?
You may not think it, but parking is important for an event that requires a good handful of parents to stick around! You’ll want good traffic flow for quick drop-offs and pickups for busy parents on the go, too.
Is the space AV compatible?
Of course, you’re going to have music at the event! And if you plan on having a projector or some other audio-visual equipment, you’ll need to know if you even have a place to hook it all up.
Do they have a damage or injury policy?
This is just good to know in general. However, it can also help you determine if it’s worth the risk in liability if something were to happen.
Sound the Party Horns!
Voila! Hopefully we’ve just made your life a bit easier 😉 This list should get you started with planning the perfect spot to host your celebration. Happy Partying! PIN KIDS BIRTHDAY PARTY PLACES FOR LATER!
