Do expect any child under the age of 5 years old to bring a parent with them. You might want to have some drinks and food for the parents who are staying. Choose a game that every child can win at least once. Everyone should feel like a winner. Do let your child open the gifts at the party in front of the guests.
Children love to see their gift opened that they bought for the special birthday boy or girl.
Do not let your child hand deliver invitations to school or church. Mail each guest a invitation. Don't break the bank. Parties should be fun. Make as many things as you can.
