Games

It's not a party without nonstop fun! Games are essential, especially with younger kids who don't always carry the party with elevated conversation. But games are great for all ages! You can stick with standards, find ones that fit your theme, or find clever tweaks to create something unique in the middle.

Takeaways

Everyone loves leaving with party favors or other takeaways! It's a gracious way to say “thanks for coming,” and to keep the occasion in your attendees' thoughts. Candy and cheap toys are common, so set your sights a little higher and give thoughtful or useful items that tie into your party's theme.
