advertisementBe sure to check packaging for age appropriateness and have a few extras on hand for any unexpected guests.
advertisementChocolate and vanilla are always favorites. If your child likes both, have one layer of each. Avoid nut flavorings, as some children may have food allergies.
advertisementIn determining the size of the cake, include the adult guests in the count. However, the size of the pieces for the children should reflect their age, so you can safely go lower than the full guest count.
advertisementHave someone to help you take coats and gifts, serve refreshments, and assist in any unexpected situations. Doing this will insure you can spend time with your child during the party.
advertisementAsk someone your child knows, like a babysitter, a teacher, or a relative.
advertisementHome parties may require kiddie tables and chairs, a coat rack, a table for adult refreshments, and an electric coffee urn for adult guests.
