All parents understand the importance of a child’s birthday party. After all, it’s not merely your kid’s friends that are coming but their parents too! All those Mom’s and Dad’s you would otherwise only encounter during school runs, parents evenings or organized play dates, all coming to your house for one, not remotely stressful, event. Follow these simple steps and ensure that your child’s birthday party is the talk of the town (and not because you gave everyone food poisoning, or the piñata you bought at the market was empty).
