First, find a party theme to start with. Here are a few popular themes for kids:

Dinosaur Birthday Party
Planets Birthday Party
Princesses Birthday Party
Batman or Spiderman Party
Firefighter and police officer Party
Pirate Birthday Party
Dora the Explorer for girls
Harry Potter Party for most ages
Animal Birthday Party

Then start planning for party supplies such as candles, original decorations, music and favors related to your birthday party theme. You will fnd affordable supplies at Dollar store or department stores.

Keep kids smiling and entertained by adding a few games to your party. Remember that these games have to be fun and easy to play and age appropriate. Also remember to serve food that will be easy to prepare and to eat. Healthy food such as fruits and vegetables and dips, sandwiches, cheese and of course, a birthday cake will please everyone and won't bring you to the dishwasher constantly.

Finally, keep in mind to set a budget that you will respect since parties may cost a lot if you don't stick to your budget. Have a great birthday party and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your child!
