About This Article
To host a birthday party, decide on a fun theme, like Disney characters, with your child and send out invites to the guests 3 to 4 weeks in advance. On the day, try to set out the food, drinks, and games 30 minutes before the party starts so you can take a moment to settle. As the guests arrive, greet each of them, take their coat, and offer them a refreshment. Then, during the party, try to make sure your child opens their gifts so everyone can see what they got, but keep in mind this may not always be possible.
