How To Plan A Birthday Party For Kids
When it comes to throwing a great birthday party for your kids, it is of utmost importance that you plan everything down to details. This is especially true for planning the food menu items for kids as they may tend to be more selective with what they eat, and some may have allergies. Remember to always check with your guests if they have any food allergies, as you wouldn’t want any unfortunate accidents on your kid’s big day of fun.
I will share with you below some great tips on how to plan a food menu for your kid’s birthday party.
Choose A Theme
Before you even plan the food menu items for your kid’s party, you should first choose a theme for the party. For example, if your kid is into Frozen, you may want to plan your food menu items around the theme of Frozen. You can prepare cupcakes with Elsa’s face on them, a birthday cake with the Frozen characters on them, Snowman sandwiches, and the list goes on.
Once you have a theme for the party, it will be much easier to create the food menu items. Selecting a theme is also a great way to personalize your birthday party and customize it according to your kid’s taste.
You can also have the option to ask all your guests to come dressed as characters in the Frozen movie to make the party more fun than ever. I am sure the kids will have a blast acting out all their favorite characters!
A great place to look for birthday theme ideas is on Pinterest. If you haven’t used Pinterest yet, you should! Follow me on Pinterest as I love to post things related to kids’ stuff, homeschooling, planning, home organization, crafts, printables, etc.
Select A Venue
Once you have come up with the theme for your party, you will need to scout for a venue that can accommodate your guests and help you recreate the scenes from your theme. Some venues will even cater your food, which saves you a lot of trouble.
Plan your food menu items on my printable birthday menu template, and then share them with your food caterers so that they can help you prepare your dream birthday food items for your party.
If you want to hire live entertainment for your parties, such as magicians or balloon sculptors, you can also work with the venue, which may already have a list of magicians or sculptors they usually use for parties. Those of you who may want to spend more on your party can even hire a professional photographer or DJ to play great party music for your guests.
If you are throwing the party in your house, you will need to be more hands-on planning and organizing your party. That means more fun, isn’t it! Go to Pinterest for ideas and Google for valuable contacts of people you want to hire for your party. It’s not that difficult with everything so readily available on the internet.
Plan Your Food Menu Items Around The Chosen Theme With My Printable Birthday Menu Template
Once you have selected a theme for your birthday party, start planning your food items around this theme.
Here are some great ideas for birthday food menu items for your kid’s birthday party:
You can adapt the food suggestions to your theme. For example, instead of the usual popcorn, you can serve the popcorn in a nice Frozen party cup you purchase from Amazon.
If you are hiring a food caterer, furnish them with your ideas and let them run the show. Do hire a reliable caterer by asking around for recommendations or check out their testimonials on their websites. The last you need is an unreliable caterer who will forget the most important details such as food allergies!
If you are doing everything yourself, get everyone in your family to help out. It can be a great way to bond for the family as you get together to plan and organize the birthday party. Prepare the food together as a family. Find easy-to-bake cake, pie, cookie, cupcake recipes online and prepare them as a family. It will be great fun!
Plan Your Games and Decoration Around The Selected Theme
Once you have decided on your venue and the food items, then it is time to start planning your birthday party games and decorations for your party. Kids get bored quickly and the last thing you need is for them to sit around and mope because there’s nothing for them to do. Even if you have no games set up for the party, have an area where they can just run around and be kids.
Create A Checklist For All The Items That You Need For The Birthday Party
A great way to ensure that you do not forget all the things you have to prepare for your birthday party is to make a checklist for all the things you need. Keep this checklist handy so that you can tick off the items as and when you have gotten them ready.
If you are delegating the tasks to your other family members, ensure that everyone is on the same page regarding your tasks and deadlines by sharing a checklist and asking your family members to remember updating the communal checklist after they are done with their respective tasks.
Send Out Your Invites! Share Your Menu Or Use It As A Birthday Invite
You may be busy preparing your birthday party, but don’t forget to take some time to send out your birthday invites with the exact time, date, and location for the birthday party as you would want to pin down the essential people who can attend your party. You will also need to consider things like seating arrangements if you are having a big party.
A great way to entice your guests is to send your birthday menu containing your delicious food items together with the invite to make it more exciting for your guests to look forward to your event.
Get your family members involved in every step of your birthday planning process, and it will be more exciting for them, and everyone will have something great to look forward to. Planning a birthday party from the start to the end together with your kids also allows you to share with them your project management techniques, event planning strategies, etc. It is a great way to bond and learn together as a family!

About Me and Let's Connect!
My name is I-Ping Yeo but I write in my alter ego Ashley Yeo cos when I first started online, I was too shy to be me. Silly! Now that my whole website and brand is built on Ashley Yeo, I am gonna stick with it (cos I am too lazy to change it and too much money has been spent on Ashley Yeo) and spread some sweet cheer!
I am a previously jaded ex-lawyer and now positively charged mompreneur who founded AshleyYeo.com. Ashley Yeo is a “fictional” character who is very different from me in personality. I am formal and boring while Ashley Yeo attempts to live a bit more dangerously but within acceptable boundaries.
I produce and publish content under my brand Ashley Yeo. I produce content mainly about homeschooling, education, digital and online learning, self-care, gratitude, ikigai (Japanese term for “reason to be”), infectious happiness strategies, passion, positivity, planning, and productivity for moms. And I also share boss girl e-commerce strategies I am testing, and resources I am using, on my own small boss girl indie business.
I conjure seriously juicy journals, notebooks, planners, coloring stuff, printables, and pretty kawaii products out of love, peaches, and cream.
I am the author and publisher of the "Big Grateful Heart: 52 Week Gratitude Journal". This is one of my best-selling gratitude journals, and it was a number 1 new release on Amazon as well as on several of Amazon's Top 100 bestseller lists.
I especially love to produce premium printables complementary to your homeschool curriculum, and for your family's positivity and self-care.
