Once you have picked a theme, creating a checklist will help you get from invites, the cake to happy memories without having a melt down. This list will help you get your party ducks in a row with plenty of time to relax before the fun starts.
Choose A Venue
Depending on how many people are coming and the time of year, choosing a venue is a priority. Mini Maker Craft Kits can be delivered to the door with everything you need. So if your home is big enough for the guest list, the living room or the garden could be perfect. Otherwise think about local parks (weather permitting) halls or even restaurants with large tables to complete their crafts.
Send The invites (Or Set Up The WhatsApp Group)
Can a parent ever have too many whatsapp groups? Yes they can actually, if you would rather swerve another group and get extra birthday brownie points, why not create your own birthday invites at home?

There is nothing more exciting than receiving a personalised invite to your friend's fun birthday party - (however old you get)
Order Your Crafting Activities
Depending on your chosen craft theme you will want to make sure you order in time for the big day. Our crafting kits come with next day delivery, You can choose between sensory, activity and project kits. Activity kits are aimed at 3-7 whereas project kits have slightly more challenging crafts. Each activity kit box contains four fun activities to explore new worlds and get creative. The best part is they get something fun they are proud of to take away with them at the end of the day.
Choose (Or Bake) The Cake
Now for the yummy part. Choosing a cake is something to think about in a good time, after all what is a birthday party without blowing out the candles? Whether you decide to bake the show piece yourself or let someone else do the honours - as long as there is a cake everyone will be happy. And obviously having it match the theme of the Birthday party will be a total crowd pleaser. If you need some bits and bobs to transform a basic birthday cake into a masterpiece - head over to craft and crumb to check out their decorations.
