So it’s your first time to host a jungle themed party for your child and you’re wondering where to start? There’s so much to do! You need food, games, activities – it can be overwhelming. Don’t worry! Just follow these simple steps and you’ll be guaranteed to have everyone at your party saying “what an awesome time!”
-Plan the date well in advance.
If it’s your first time to organize a party yourself, you need to make sure you notify your guests ahead of time. You need to make sure that you also have enough time to buy all of the party decorations you need and book party suppliers.
Now that you’ve got that out of the way, it’s time to come up with a theme! Some good options include: monkeys, lions, tigers, elephants (to go along with Jungle Book), or dinosaurs (if you’re not too tired of Jurassic World hype).
– Figure out how much time you have for each party element.
This is where you decide how long the party will be, what time you’ll have people come over, and when you’ll have to do things like set up food or decorate.
– Create a budget and stick with it.
Decide how much you want to spend for the party. All moms love to splurge on kiddie parties but it’s always best to have a budget. Your budget dictates what food you’ll serve and how many guests you can invite to the party.
– Pick out some party games and activities.
Games make parties fun and memorable – just make sure that kids can participate without getting hurt. Here are some ideas:
- Pictionary (get a whiteboard, some markers, and paper)
- Two Truths and a Lie (Cut up slips of paper with two truths and one lie written on them. Each player takes turns drawing one and has to guess which is the lie.)
- Musical Chairs (If you’re having a larger party, like 25 kids or more, you might want to split them into two groups. It can get pretty competitive!)
– Decide on a menu.
Make sure to keep it simple and kid-friendly. There are tons of awesome jungle themed food options if you go onto Pinterest or Google, but be careful that they won’t take too long to make! And since you’re hosting kids, it’s probably best to skip the ones that involve using knives – but stick with your theme and use safari plates and cups.
– Set up decorations for both inside and outside.
There are lots of great decorating ideas online like hanging animal pictures in your living room or putting up leaves on the walls, but be careful about how much work you take on. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t be afraid to ask your kids for help!
– Clean everything thoroughly the night before.
This is super important as you’ll want your home to look spotless when everyone arrives. So do a little bit of cleaning every evening leading up to the party and make sure you leave plenty of time in the morning to get everything done.
Now that you’ve got all the basics down, it’s time to have fun! This is your chance to create an awesome party experience for everyone so get creative and take some themed photos with all your friends. And don’t forget the most important thing: send thank you cards! Everyone will appreciate getting a cool Jungle Book card in the mail even if they can’t make it to your awesome party.
Well, there you go! Those are some simple steps on how to host a fun jungle themed party. Of course, you don’t have to follow all of these steps just right – mix and match or do whatever works for you! Hosting parties can be really fun and it’s always nice to try something new.
