Ask For Help

I have 4 kids, including one set of twins (who always get bigger parties than the other two) and have put on 16 birthday parties. I have learned that you need at LEAST 3 adults to have a successful birthday. One person is facilitating the activity, one is preparing for the next activity, and one is taking pictures and video (and writing who the gifts are from).
All of the adults should know everything about the whole party though, so they can fill in as needed.
Try not to have the parent of the clingy kids help - their job might not get done because their kids are just clinging on to them too much.
Make sure they are thanked very graciously!
