It’s been a while that I have been thinking about changing the look of my kids-theme-parties site and today I actually did it. I hope if you are a regular visitor here, that you won’t click away thinking that you are on the wrong site.

The cute little blonde girl in this image was the “keeper” of all my posts on kids’ party planning and various other party stuff for many months , but she and I moved into different directions and today it was time to finally say goodbye to her.

I would like to hear what you think about the new look of kids-theme-parties…  I have  also changed the name of the site to “Kids Birthday Party Ideas” as I feel that it is more appropriate for all the  information I write about on hosting your kid’s birthday party.

You now have the option of subscribing not only via my RSS feed or to receive updates in your inbox whenever I post some new ideas, but you can also subscribe to receive updates when you leave a comment on a specific post.

Don’t forget that you can also listen to the posts and subscribe to the podcasts that you can download to your computer or iPod. Just click on the “listen now” button at the beginning of a post.

To celebrate the new look of my site I am sharing Peter Rabbit’s Family Recipes with you. This e-book has a beautiful little story of Peter Rabbit that you can print out for your kids as well as some delicious recipes that you can print out for yourself.

Cotton-tail’s Blackberry Lemonade and Peter’s Gooseberry Foolishness will be great for any kid’s party. You can soothe your nerves after the party is over with Mrs. Rabbit’s Chamomile Tea. Just click on the image to download the pdf. file to your computer.

Don’t forget that you can contact me with any questions or suggestions you have about planning your kid’s birthday party. I would also love to hear about the themes and ideas you came up with for birthday parties. Why not send me some photos as well and I will create a special page to share it with the other readers of this site.

As always, have fun when you plan your kid’s birthday party!

There are probably times when you have reminisced about and remembered the many theme parties that you had as a kid and remembered how they were real fun for you and your friends!

Today, kids still want to have fun at their birthday theme parties and there seems to always be some parents who want to throw their kids the birthday parties of a lifetime! If you’re one of those parents then you probably already know that you should not only keep the birthday party safe but that it should also be well chaperoned. If you are bound and determined to throw your child a great birthday theme party then there are always some tips to keep in mind to make sure that it’s a safe and happy time for everyone.

First of all, if your child’s friends are coming over to your house then you’ll want to be prepared. One of the first steps in preparation for your kid’s theme party is the activities that will take place. There are a whole host of activities that the children can do when they come over to your house to have fun at a theme party! For example, you could turn the whole day into a big movie marathon with plenty of candy and popcorn to go around.

If you want to go this route then a good idea would be to hold a vote with the children about which movies they’d like to watch. Or, if you’d prefer, the birthday son or daughter can be the one to pick out the majority of the movies that everyone will be watching.

Aside from a movie marathon event, however, there should always be some backup activities. For example, having a pinata at your home is always a fun event for a theme party, as well as traditional birthday party games, like “Pin the Tail on the Donkey.”

There are plenty of ways to get ideas for birthday fun; whether you research different birthday games on the internet or you ask for advice, there are plenty of activities to keep everyone busy for the whole time that they are at your house!

Another birthday party tip that you’ll want to remember is to always have food on hand. Whether it’s plenty of pizza to go around or a non-stop candy bowl, children are always going to be hungry. And what’s better then being able to pig out at a birthday party! Kids are usually voracious little creatures, so be sure to have plenty of soda pop, food, and snacks around for everyone to enjoy!

One safe thing to keep in mind, though, is food allergies of the other kids. You may want to ask each individual parent if their children are allergic to any food items so that you can be sure that it won’t be served.

If you opt not to hold your child’s theme party at your house, though, you can always take it upon yourself to take everyone to a bowling alley or other fun place. If you decide to go this route, though, make sure that you have plenty of help as supervision of all the party guests is crucial!

All of these things are important to remember when thinking about holding a birthday theme party for your son or daughter! Your child’s birthday theme party absolutely does not have to be a big hassle, it should however, be fun and you should not forget about the safety of the party guests.
