Does the thought of planning your child’s birthday party cause anxiety?

Tori Klein • March 30, 2022

Anxiety around planning a child’s party may sound frivolous but unfortunately, it is reality in the busy lives of many Moms. Your child’s birthday is coming up and you would love to throw a party, but all you can think about is how much work the planning of a party entails. Even though as a parent, your wish is to throw an awesome birthday party for your son or daughter, the thought just brings about feelings of stress and anxiety which eventually leads to big time Mom guilt. Don’t worry, you’re not the only Mom alone in this predicament.

With every birthday you want to be able to capture the special memories and milestones, however, you feel overwhelmed with the thought of where do I begin: tasks such as putting together a guest list, finding a venue, sending out invites, buying balloons, purchasing décor items, thinking about games and activities let alone food and drinks - these to-do’s can add stress to any Mom’s already busy schedule. This combined with the recollection of last year’s birthday event and the promise that the subsequent year it will be a smaller-scale affair with less hassle. You say to yourself that this year will be different…can it be?? Most definitely!

Here are a few tips for considering support to plan your child’s upcoming birthday party:

The services of an Event Planner can save you precious time in an already hectic life
Working with a knowledgeable Event Partner can alleviate some of the stress
Help with incorporating an age appropriate theme adds a ton of excitement to the event
The little details showcase the story of your child – this can be revealed via photographs & videos
Having a planner can keep you on budget for your event
Most importantly, working with an experienced Event Planner can bring the fun back into planning for you!

Putting on a party is definitely time consuming and if your goal is to enjoy the role of playing host, consider how much time you will save if you hire the services of an Event Planner to manage your child’s birthday. People don’t realize that time is a precious commodity and sometimes it’s worth retaining the services of someone experienced in their craft. A planner can prepare timelines, manage budgets and take care of all logistics. An Event Planner can be your partner and add calm to an already chaotic time.

Adding the unique touches to your occasion can make it extra special for your child and their friends. But the excitement and joy on your child’s face when they see all of the details come together is priceless – to a child, a beautiful themed birthday cake, a candy bar, fun games and activities, colourful prizes and yummy food are just a few of the party highlights that will resonate. However, what is key are the friends and family to share the festivities and experiences with.

So put aside your apprehension if planning a birthday party seems like a hefty lift; take the opportunity to spend the quality time with your child and reach out to your experienced partners at Hoopla Events.

As everyone knows, life has been extremely challenging over the last few years and people are just ready to get back to the new normal.

I would love to host a party, but I need a little guidance of where to start…

By Tori Klein • March 30, 2022

You love the idea of parties - big and small. You are always invited to one shindig or another and you enjoy attending events as a guest. With each event, you drink up the details: the bold colours, the beautiful décor, the succulent appetizers, the exquisite ambience, the overall experience and you say to yourself “I wish I could put on an event that would showcase my style!” However, the thought of throwing your own event tends to be very overwhelming. Where do you start? How do you begin? Do you make a list? What is your theme? Do the details have to hold a particular significance? There are just so many components that need to be thought of to make an event come alive. But if you are a willing party (no pun intended) and have the desire to do the work, then all you need is a little bit of guidance to direct you on the right path. The planning process should be fun - it really shouldn’t cause anxiety and pressure to plan a bash. At the end of the day, a party is a celebration with good friends, good food and good fun! And if you are super stressed out leading to the big day, you will not be able to enjoy the festivities in your role as a host. Here is where partnering with an Event Planner can help. A Planner can support you with defining your signature style and pulling elements of your style into your event. A consultation with your Planner could focus on the following: idea and theme generation; developing a small intimate guest list or a list for a much larger crowd; choosing your theme colours and tying it into the décor; will it be appetizers you will be doing yourself or a 3-course meal for a dinner party using a caterer; will you have signature cocktails?; do you want to emphasize your space with a flower wall; there are just so many details that need to be covered. Once you have an idea of your likes, wants, needs and budget, planning your special occasion with an Event Partner will be that much easier. Your Event Planner will help you start the process and give you the tools and resources to run with it and organize your own shindig. Your Planner will empower you to develop a plan for your specific event – it will include making lists, keeping with timelines and schedules and managing your costs. And if you feel you need a more customized approach, such as more than just the initial guidance but help with the execution, your Event Planning Company can present you with package options to suit your needs. Just remember: The planning process should be fun - it really shouldn’t be stressful to plan a bash To showcase your story, an Event Planner can support you with defining your signature style and interspersing it in the little details If you are only looking for that initial guidance, your Planner will support you with the tools and resources to “Run with It” and organize your own celebration You want your guests to leave with a memorable experience At the end of the day what is a successful event you ask? Well the answer is the response and reaction from your guests. As a host, nothing is more gratifying than people telling you what a blast they had at your event.
