It’s so much fun to throw a party… especially kids parties, but
one downside is that it’s SO MUCH WORK to set-up, followed by the
party- lots of fun but for a relatively short period of time,
followed by the clean-up. It’s really easy after it’s over to
feel bummed that it’s over or wonder if all of your hard work was
worth it!
I have 3 hacks for this.
1. Plan so that you ENJOY the party- not work the party- I did a
podcast recently on this.
2. Make sure you get all the photos and videos that you want - so
the fun memories live on forever.
And 3. Maximize your party fun with a little pre-party and/or
after-party.
It’s so easy and literally doubles your fun from just the party- to
a whole other experience.
And the best part is - you do very little for it. The whole
point is to enjoy the pre or post party set-up and enjoy in the
party space.
Today we’re talking all about adding a little party before or after
your party so that you have double the fun, without much extra
work.
-Party planning has to be fun - you MUST enjoy the process!!
WAYS TO DO IT!!
Pre-parties
-plan for food.
-have people help you set-up for party - offer food and drinks -
they will come.
-ask how much to rent bounce house or ball bit for extra time- it’s
usually not much more.
-enjoy the party space and get helping hands in the set-up of
it
After-parties
-great way to be sure all treats get eaten
-pancake breakfast next morning
-plan for food OR have vendors from main party make extra and pack
it up to serve later.
-use decor to keep the party going.
-have a helper to pickup if your after party is right after.
-have people stay later - or come back at night for party 2
(Lindsays fav).
-if you have a kid party during the day, invite adults over at
night- same party space, double the fun!
You literally DOUBLE your FUN with very little cost and effort.
This one is a MUST listen and a MUST do.
CHEERS!
