A Few Pointers
Creative Party Theme Ideas
Allow yourself about 6-8 weeks to plan your child's party. 8 weeks if you're planning live entertainment (depending on where you live entertainment can book up early) and 6 weeks if they'll be no live show.
Begin planning with creative party theme ideas. A theme gives you a blueprint to follow which makes the entire planning process easier. A theme can be anything from a favorite TV show, book, toy or movie. Or maybe your child is amazed by Cars, Baseball or Barbie dolls.
Decorations
A little creativity goes a long way. It's easy to incorporate creative party theme ideas into a children's birthday party with little expense. The simplest way is through theme party products. For a popular kids theme you will find products such as these Plates, Cups, Tablecloths, Banners, Centerpieces and more that match the theme. Purchase some of these items to make a statement and express your theme. Use the theme throughout the party while incorporating a mix of solid colors that match. Also, consider other items to incorporate into your decor such as a these welcome Door Signs or a garage banner, these Lawn Signs, a sign-in book or doll, or these Party Hats, Birthday Bibs, Balloons, Streamers and of course the cake.
And remember no party is complete without balloons. An essential and inexpensive decorating item. Balloons pull your theme together and make your party more festive. Check out this link for more than 390 Party Balloons

Invitations
Popular themes typically offer invitations to match such as these Invitations. This makes the selection of invitations simple. Using an invitation that matches your theme is an excellent way to let your guests know what to expect. It's also a good way to get the children excited when they see their favorite character on the invitation. But, it's not essential to use an invitation that matches your theme, there are plenty of other options. Like these Personalized Invitations or check out these Personalized Invitations that can have your baby's face on them. Also, consider printing your own invitations using an invitation website, create your own using clip art and a catchy phrase, purchase fill-in-the-blank invitations found at any party supply store and if your party is informal then word of mouth always works.

Food
The menu for a kids party should not channel the gourmet chef in you. Save your gourmet meals for adult parties. Keep the food simple and kid-friendly. Snack food is a good choice for a kids party. Most important to kids at a party is friends, games and cake. Everything else is secondary including the food. Good choices for kids are pizza, chicken nuggets, sandwiches, hotdogs and fruit.
The Cake
Whether you choose to purchase a bakery cake or make your own, the cake should match your theme. You can be as simple or as extravagant as you like. If you are throwing a Princess Party make a pink cake...this is simple and it matches your theme. If you want to be more adventurous then decorate your Baseball Party cake with a baseball diamond. Remember, the cake should not only be tasty but also a decorative element that fits in well with your party theme. And regardless of whether your cake is simple or extravagant a great cake topper (such as these Cake Toppers) can add a great element to the cake.
