Party Planning Essentials and what NOT to Forget
It's so easy to forget those little (and big) things - what I call my party essentials, and so I have got together a list
of Don't Forget Essentials to help you in your party planning. These are all things
that I have forgotten at one time or another – and wished I hadn't! Plus I have a Memories of the day If you want something quick and easy and which the kids can use, why not buy a load of disposable cameras. The quality is usually excellent and they are also a brilliant party idea for older kids or as take home gifts. If you fancy yourself as a cameraman for the day, don't forget the camcorder and
above all don't forget to charge up the battery and to make sure that you have
enough spare tape. I must admit that our camcorder has taken a back seat at the moment – maybe something to do with the bored yawns of friends and relatives after they've seen the kids school show for the
tenth time. -- Kid Party checklist -- Thank you to your helpers -- Kid Party planning -- The Card and Wrapping Paper -- Kid Party checklist -- Cake Candles I know that candles doesn't seem like something to forget but believe me it is done more times than you think. -- Kid Party planning -- Stain removal Kit -- Kid Party planning -- First Aid Kit 
BE PREPARED. Accidents will happen. Cut knees, bumped heads, the squashed finger
and the child who feels sick from eating too many sweets. Check that you have at
least the basics such as plasters (various sizes), bandage, tweezers, scissors,
disinfectant, alcohol wipes and a packet of frozen peas in the freezer (good for
bumps). Remember though not to administer any medicines to a child that is not
your own without first checking with their parent(s). Plan what you would do if
a child needed to go to hospital for stitches for example – will there be enough
adults to keep the party going safely if you had to leave?
-- Kid Party planning -- Contact details for your guests parents No doubt you will already have most of the contact details especially if the kids are regular visitors to your house and the under 5's are usually accompanied by their parents anyway. But sometimes the details gets mislaid and little Frank will happen to break his arm or Mary starts screaming for mum just when you can't get hold of their parents.
