🧹 TOP TIP #13: Prep your space the day before!

Don't leave everything to the morning of the party. The day before, do:
✓ Clean the space thoroughly
✓ Set up tables and chairs
✓ Test any equipment (music, lights, etc.)
✓ Prep any food you can make ahead
✓ Gather all your games and materials in one place

This means on party day, you're just adding final touches and enjoying yourself. Less stress, more fun! ✨

🎵 TOP TIP #13: Music sets the mood!

The right playlist can transform your party:
✓ Upbeat songs for games and dancing
✓ Calmer music during food time
✓ Familiar songs kids love to sing along to
✓ A good speaker so everyone can hear it
✓ Volume that's loud enough to be fun but not ear-splitting!

Pro tip: Create a playlist beforehand so you're not faffing about with music choices on the day. Let it play in the background and watch the magic happen! 🎶

🎨 TOP TIP #12: Decorations don't need to be fancy!

Simple, colourful decorations can transform a space without costing a fortune:
✓ Balloons (always a winner) but don’t put on the floor! Trust me!
✓ Bunting and streamers
✓ DIY paper chains
✓ A few themed posters

Pro tip: Let the kids help with decorations before the party starts. It gets them excited AND saves you time! 🎉

⏰ TOP TIP #11: Timing is everything!

A good party length depends on age:
✓ Under 5s: 1 -1.5 hours (short attention spans!)
✓ 5-8 year olds: 1.5-2 hours (sweet spot for fun)
✓ 9-12 year olds: 2-2.5 hours (they can handle more)
✓ Teens and up: 2-3 hours (they'll stay longer if they're having fun)

Pro tip: Start and finish on time. Parents appreciate punctuality, and kids leave on a high when the party ends while they're still having fun! ⏱️

Design the Beast of Basingstoke!

Liverpool have the Liverbird, Wales have a Dragon... what will Basingstoke have? 🐉

Draw it, paint it, write it—entries can be anything! The winning design will be brought to life by local puppet maker Nick Ash and featured in the opening parade. All entries displayed at The Creative Emporium, Festival Place.

📝 Deadline: Saturday 30 May
🎭 Parade: Friday 19 June, 5.30pm

👥 TOP TIP #10: Know your guest list and plan accordingly!

The number of kids and their ages make a huge difference to how your party flows. Before you plan, ask the following questions:
✓ How many kids are coming?
✓ What age range are they?
✓ Are there any dietary needs or allergies?
✓ Any accessibility requirements?

This info helps you choose the right games, food portions, and activities. A party for 10 five-year-olds looks very different from one for 8 and 9 year olds! 🎯

Just finished a joint party for a 3 year old and a 5 year old! It was a great mix of party games, magic, rolling around on the floor like a caterpillar and lots and lots of birthday cake!

🎪 TOP TIP #8: Mix up your games to keep energy high!

Don't stick to just one type of activity. A good party flow looks like:
✓ High-energy games to start (get everyone moving!) that late comers can join in
✓ Quieter activities in the middle or a show (let them catch their breath)
✓ Food break (always a winner!)
✓ More games or entertainment
✓ Wind down with party bags and goodbyes

This rhythm keeps kids engaged and happy without anyone getting overtired or bored. It's all about balance! ⚖️

📋 TOP TIP #7: Plan ahead—it's your secret weapon!

The best stress-free parties are planned parties. Start thinking about your party at least 4 weeks before:
✓ Book your venue early
✓ Send invites with plenty of notice
✓ Ask parents about dietary needs and allergies
✓ Plan your games and activities
✓ Order cake and decorations

A bit of planning upfront means way less panic on the day. Trust us on this one! 🎯
