It is no secret that kids tend to get bored pretty easily, even at their own birthday parties. So, what can you do to keep them engaged for a few hours so you and the other adults can sit back and catch up on life? The answer to that is hiring entertainment. There are a number of children party entertainers in Singapore to choose from, but how can you know which will be the best fit? Here are five tips that will make your decision easier:
1. ESTABLISH YOUR KID’S INTERESTS
Parents want the best possible experience for their children. Imagine little Timmy, now an adult, looking back at life one day at his batman themed birthday party and how much fun he had, especially because it was Batman themed with a Batman cake, Batman tablecloths, Batman party hats, Batman everything. Okay now imagine another little Timmy, also an adult, looking back at his 8th birthday party. He loved Batman but instead, his parents got him a “My Little Pony” themed party because they heard him talking about horses once. It may seem insignificant to you, but to them, it can be the highlight of their childhood. So, take some time to sit with your child or children and establish what they like before going ahead and planning what could be a potential disaster.
2. SET A BUDGET
Hosting an event can be costly, and when it comes to kid’s parties it is no different. It is important to set a budget so that the event doesn’t break the bank. One way to keep within your set budget is to hire a kid’s party planner. This person, or group of people, will work with your budget and stretch your dollar in order to get the most out of the budget and can even wow you with the amount they can achieve with a tight budget.
Now that you know what your child likes, and have set a budget, it is time to choose the entertainment.
3. RESEARCH
When choosing entertainment for a kid’s party, it is important to do your research. One way to do this is by asking around. Have any of your friends or family members hosted a birthday party and were blown away by the services provided? Another way to research is to go online and read all the reviews and testimonials you can find.
4. INTERVIEW
You’ve seen what is offered based on your child’s interests, now you are closing in on decision-making time. Begin interviewing different acts for your party by asking about their experience, general reception, what their act entails and so on.
5. DECIDING
Your decision should be based on factors such as your budget, your child’s interest, other’s people’s experience and your own impression of the person or company. After deciding, you should set a date, pick a venue and get other things in line for the party.
