Determine the number of guest you wish to invite. If you plan to invite your child's class mates please note that many schools have a rule that if you invite one classmate, you must invite them all. This is done to eliminate hurt feelings especially in the younger children.

Be sure to include your child in some of the planning such as the Party Theme based on favorite activity, Cartoon character, etc.

Pick the locale for the party whether it is at home or letting the staff at That Fun Place help with your Party.

Select the Party Flavors and table decorations, snacks and games to illustrate the theme. If having your Party at your Local Family Entertainment Center rather than having 20 children in your home - Double check with our Party Hosts for decoration details and restrictions.

Choose Entertainment for the Guests - Hiring a local Clown or Magician, Arts and Crafts, Pool or Slumber party for older children. Utilizing the many activities of our Fun Center.

When choosing party food and drinks - Keep It Simple such as Pizza, Cake or Ice Cream. It is obvious you do not want 20 children with Grape Kool-Aid on your white carpet.

Do a cost comparison between having the party at home and having it at our Fun Center. Rethink the idea of having the party in your home  - does your home have a location which is designed for 10-20 children.

Mail your invitations directly to the quests or send them in care of their parents and ask for an RSVP. Include a map of the party location, planned food, activities and recommended dress. Drop off and Pickup time. For Children under 5 you may want to request that a parent stay with the party guest.
