The Circus is Coming to Town
What's the big deal in planning a carnival for a 4 year old birthday party. Everything especially if you are me! Ideas have been running crazy through my mind for the last 5 months. I also wanted to make sure that I would be able to help other moms take short cuts that I wish I would of thought about. So here is the approach I took and I hope it helps you.10-12 Weeks Out:
- Picked a Date -- I like before nap time for younger kids so that's my rule of thumb planning this party.
- Entertainment -- Especially clowns in smaller towns the more advance date you can give the bette. I found a local advertising book and asked friends for referrals.
- Venue -- I picked a venue that I could use both in and outdoors. I wanted to maximize the space in every aspect. However, I needed a backup plan in case the weather wasn't in my favor.
6-8 Weeks Out:
- Make a Guest List
- Invitations and Thank You's: Where to order? What to order or to print? I found my circus invitations and thank you cards on Etsy. I based all colors and finished theme around the invites.
Stay Tuned for part 2 of the circus!
