Planning a party in five steps
The order matters, because it decides where the money goes when the budget runs out.
- 1. Cover the table — a tablecloth sets the colour and does more visual work than anything else.
- 2. Plates, cups and napkins — by headcount, or buy a party set and let it do the arithmetic.
- 3. The cake — number candles for the age, house candles around them, edible sprinkles or a topper.
- 4. The room — one banner and one set of hanging decorations cover a room regardless of guest numbers.
- 5. The guests — round glasses, paper hats in house colours, photo booth props, and a sweet bag each to take home.
The sorting ceremony
The part children remember is not the cake, it is being sorted. Paper hats come in the four house colours: hand them out at random as guests arrive, or put them in a bag and let each child draw one. Then use house colours for teams in every game that follows. It costs almost nothing and gives the afternoon a structure.
For older children, the Trivial Pursuit quiz with its six hundred questions works as the centrepiece game, and the house teams carry straight over into it.
What to buy by headcount and what not to
Anything each guest receives — plates, cups, glasses, hats, sweet bags — is bought by the number of children, and every pack states its piece count. Decorations are the opposite: one banner, one tablecloth and one set of hanging decorations cover the room whether there are six guests or sixteen. If the budget is fixed, cover the table and the room first, then spend what is left per guest.
