Financial And Personal Costs
As the mother of two beautiful daughters, I know how expensive parties can be. Not only that, but I know how much pressure there is on us moms to make this party better than the last and enjoyed by all.
Needless to say, it can be difficult for us moms to enjoy the actual party itself. We spend hours in the kitchen organizing the party treats and so often miss out on watching our children have a great time.
Ouch!
Earlier this year, my youngest daughter had a pony-themed party. We had great fun adapting all sorts of party games to the theme. All her friends came as Fantasy Ponies and all of the food and drink was themed. I spent hours and hours searching the internet and local shops for decorations, plates, ribbons and other items to make the theme rock. You name it; I bought it. I kinda got carried away and ended up spending hundreds of dollars. Bad move.
At the party, nobody seemed to care about the color-coordinated place-mats and party hats. Even the pastries I’d hand-decorated with different colored ponies seemed to go unnoticed. Not that I wanted praise or anything; I just wanted everyone to have a good time. However, I was so tired that I didn’t really get to enjoy my girl’s day. I really missed out.
My Passion
As you can tell from my blog, I love creating party games. If I’d just concentrated on creating brilliant games, then the children wouldn’t be worried about whether their badges matched their name-plates…
A couple of months ago, I decided to try something different. I had a chat with my eldest daughter whose birthday was coming up and asked her what she wanted to do for her party…
“Well, mom, I just wanna have fun”
Me: “Do you want to have a themed party like your sister?”
Daughter: “I just wanna have fun!”
I thought to myself that this was an excellent opportunity to really test a different approach to my daughters’ parties, where the focus would be on games.
My Solution?
I therefore implemented the suggestions made by the Birthday Party Games Lady. Her focus is on creating an exciting games environment for the children even before the party arrives. At the moment, she offers five different themed packages (detective, survivor, medieval, Harry Potter and magical).
Each package comes with printable invitations (which you can personalize really easily on your computer), as well as complete game instructions (including a timetable!), printable party favors, a supply list and Thank You Notes which you child can personalize on a computer and send to her friends.
The Results…?
My daughter chose the Survivor Theme and I followed the easy-to-read instructions to the letter. You know what…?
…The party was a huge success!
All of my daughter’s friends had a great time and my daughter said it was one of her favorite parties EVER! Better than that, I was able to spend so much more time with my daughter and her friends than I have at any of her other parties. This was priceless.
I was over the moon (and not just because I had saved myself hundreds of dollars).
If you’re wondering how to make your daughter’s next party really special and one which you will also enjoy, why don’t you check out the packages offered by the Birthday Party Games Lady by clicking here and let me know what you think. You’ll save yourself hundreds of dollars and be the envy of the other moms! 
All the best,
Emily
