Wilton Enterprises offers a parent’s guide to hosting at home birthday parties for children ages 1 through 8. The booklet promotes decorate-a-cake parties and hands-on kid participation, with a free copy available by mail.
A guide to planning a first birthday with favorite character themes. Include child’s nap schedule, space for play, helper invites, sign in board with year photos, themed decorations and tableware. Arrange entertainment for older siblings, capture moments with Polaroids and video, and bake a home cake.
Expert advice from Wilton Enterprises urges early planning for kids parties. Choose a theme with the birthday child, decorate with theme wear and balloons, then manage guest counts and supplies. Cakes can be mix, scratch, or bakery undecorated, with frosting made during the party or prepared in advance. Children decorate with pastry bags, practice on waxed paper, then ice and assemble the cake while singing. A typical party runs about two hours, including arrivals, cake eating, and opening gifts, with options for cupcakes or small take-home cakes.
Linda Kaye and Wilton Enterprises share tips for birthday party planning. Plan a month ahead and book entertainment and venue early. Involve the child, interview vendors, gather references, and set an RSVP. Keep meals simple, serve food once, and manage weather risks with backup plans.
