5 Tips for a Better Birthday Party

May 16, 2017 by Mason Drew 8 Comments

Birthdays are better at Firehouse Skate ‘N Play. When you book a roller-skating party, we do everything we can to make sure you have the time of your life. That means taking care of setup and cleanup, providing a dedicated Party Hostess to serve pizza and drinks, and keeping the good times rolling all afternoon (and beyond—we give the guests free skate passes for next time). We do a lot to make sure your child has the best birthday party ever. Here’s how you can make planning a kid’s birthday party a piece of cake!

5 Tips for a Better Birthday Party

  1. boy with birthday cakePlan early. Leaving the party planning until the last minute is a recipe for stress. Book your party early to ensure you get the time you want, give parents more time to send RSVPs, and plan those extra touches that your child will never forget.
  2. Pick your package. Firehouse Skate ‘N Play offers birthday party options for every size party (and budget). Do you want to surprise your child with glow gear, and other fun freebies? Upgrade to the GLO-CRAZY Party Package.
  3. Get a great gift. Nothing suits a skating party like new roller-skates.
  4. Limit the guests. Younger kids may feel overwhelmed with a big birthday crowd, while older children probably want all their friends to attend their birthday party. A good rule of thumb is to invite the same number of guests as your child’s age.
  5. Avoid meltdowns. Nobody wants crocodile tears on the big day. Make sure the birthday kid gets plenty of rest before the party, eats a full breakfast, and comes to Firehouse ready to roll.

It’s party time! Call to book your child’s birthday party in Vinton.

    According to the article, planning early is beneficial since it can help make sure your child’s party goes well and keeps you from feeling stressed. About how early in advance do you suggest starting the plans? I’d be curious to know since my daughter’s birthday is coming up this summer and my wife wants to throw her a big party.

      John,

      Thank you for your comment. We recommend to begin the planning at least 1 month prior to the party. We hope to see you soon!

    I am trying to plan my ten year old daughters birthday party and I can’t figure out the theme or events. You make a really great point about planning any party early in case anything goes wrong. I never thought about sending RSVP’s with the invitations since I just assume everyone would come. This was really helpful for me in planning her birthday. Thanks for the great advice, now all I need to find a place for her and her friends to have fun.

Just follow the advice shared in the post above and have a great birthday bash. I will recommended this post to my friends who are planning a bday party.

    My kid enjoyed her birthday party last week to the core. The tips offered in the above post helped me to plan out her birthday party without the support of my husband. I also had a nice time with my friends as I organized every element well ahead of the party.

    I like how you said that limiting the number guests in my kid’s birthday party is the right thing to do because he might be overwhelmed by the big crowd and end up not enjoying his party. I have a soon-to-be seven-year-old son, and I want to give him a spectacular pizza party. At first, I didn’t know what to do in order to give him the best birthday yet, now I have a few ideas. Thanks a lot! I’ll remember this.

    I like how you say that you would want to consider the number of guests at your kid’s birthday. It would be good to consider this because it would help control the chaos. My brother is planning a party for his son, so he’ll have to consider the number of guests.
