Thom's Party Planning Secrets: 5

Magician Thom Bliss Reveals His Secrets - For Planning a Great Birthday Party

Secret #5:
Hire a Professional
Children's Entertainer

You knew I was going to say this, right? After all, entertaining children is what I do. But I sincerely believe that having a professional children's entertainer at your child's party could be the best present you can give your child -- and yourself.

     As I mentioned before, in some neighborhoods, a professional entertainer has become almost a requirement. But even if this isn't the case in your area, you should still consider inviting a professional children's entertainer to your child's party.

Tip #11

A professional children's entertainer can make your party extra-special and make your child feel extra-special, too. The entertainer is a special guest, a "celebrity," who has come to honor your child, because your child is also special. And magician can produce oohs and aahs of delight and a room full of laughter. And many professional entertainers will have a special item or two that make your child a star of the show.

Tip #12

If you try to handle all the entertainment yourself, you will likely find yourself exhausted well before the party is over. A professional children's entertainer will take much of the work of the party out of your hands and off your shoulders. This will allow you time relax and rest up for the rest of the party. You might even be able to sit back, relax and enjoy the show yourself.

Tip #13

If you try to handle the entertainment yourself, you will need to buy game supplies and prizes. You will also need to have a some small gift for each child to take home. Then of course you will want balloons of some kind or other. Many children's entertainers will include all of this in their fee.

    As an example, in addition to putting on a magic show, I make balloon animals and other balloon sculptures (flowers, hats, and so on) for the kids. The balloon animals add to the festivities, and the kids can take them home with them.

Tip #14

If you plan to serve a light meal (or the cake and ice cream) after the entertainment, the entertainer will keep the kids busy while you prepare the meal.

    Inviting a professional children's entertainer to your child's birthday party can be the best present you can give your child. The entertainer can make the party extra special and make your child feel extra special, too.

    Inviting a professional children's entertainer can also be the best present you can give to yourself. An experienced children's entertainer can take much of the burden of amusing the kids off your hands, relieve you of the necessity of buying give-aways for the guests, and give you time to relax and recharge yourself or get the cake and ice cream ready.

    Well, there you have it: Keep if short, keep it simple, make it easy on yourself and well-organized. And hire a professional children's entertainer to make your child's birthday party a truly magical, memorable event.
