The Benefits Of Having Your Toddler’s Next Birthday Party At A Kid-Ready Venue
Every parent wants their child to have a birthday party that will be remembered, and one of the things that can affect the success of this party is the venue. I believe having the party at a kid’s indoor playground is the best option for toddler and mom.
Throwing your toddler’s next birthday party at an indoor playground will relieve you of the common stresses that come with gathering a party from scratch.
I don’t know about you but I decided that for my son’s two-year party I would keep it simple. For my son’s first birthday he had two birthday parties. You are probably thinking, “two birthdays really?” Yes.
It was special because his nanna wanted to give him a party in Alabama so that everyone there could join in on the celebration. So that party was in May, and then I had an actual party for him in June which is his actual birthday month here in Texas. Both parties were fun but I’ve learned from that experience of how stressful it can get.
So I decided that this year would be completely different and I am glad that I did. Through my experience, I am hoping to convince you to pick a kid ready venue rather than at your home or a place that will require you to plan from scratch.
Reasons why I did not want to have the party at home:
- As mentioned before I didn’t want to deal with the overall stress of planning.
- Kids like to move around a lot and we live in a small apartment, so space is very limited at this point.
- Deciding on what NON-MESSY food to serve. Kids are messy and sticky fingers equals potential dirty walls and dirty floors.
- My son doesn’t have a problem with sharing his toys, but I can’t judge how other children would be with playing together with a limited amount of toys. Some children don’t like to share, and I want each child to have fun!
Also for his second birthday, I decided that I wanted to focus on the kids and not kids + adults. Yay for me! Choosing a kid-ready venue that will do the party planning, decorations, food, and entertainment for you is a win-win, and will make your next child’s birthday party a breeze.
There are many options that are available based on your child’s age, for me my son was turning two so I chose a venue accordingly. The place that was chosen is Kid N’ Play.
Kid N’ Play is an indoor playground that offers pretend play that features an interconnected city model design that provides a unique, safe, and realistic educational environment that allows kids to pretend play. This indoor play area is perfect for ages 0-7 and I knew most of the children being invited had various ages from 18 months to 7, this was an ideal place. This venue is located in Pearland Texas right off of Highway 518.
Here is what to look for when choosing your next venue:
- Make sure it is age appropriate; What are the activities that are available to the age children that will be attending?
- Location and time; How far will your guests have to travel? Depending on your location this may not be an issue, but for me it is, I live in the Houston area and it is a journey literally, to travel from the north side to south side of Houston, or east side to the westside.
- Theme and decorations
- Food; What are the food options they offer and how does it work if you want to bring your own.
- Cost; How much is so important to stay on budget.
At the close of the celebration what you want to hear is whining from others kids telling their parents they’re not ready to go, can they stay longer to play.
Yes! Pat yourselves on the back mommies, great birthday accomplished and you didn’t stress about it.
