Any kid's birthday party should have a theme and matching decorations. You should pick one according to what your kid likes, so discuss how your kid envisions the party. Also, it would be best if you had some snacks that kids can grab in-between playtime and plenty of water or healthy juices. We don’t recommend serving full meals as the kids may not eat full portions. Instead, you may consider hiring a professional entertainer, such as a magician, a scientist, or a princess. And, of course, you can’t forget about the birthday cake! You can bake one or buy one from the local bakery - it doesn’t really matter. The point is that singing a happy birthday song and blowing out the candles is an essential part of any birthday party and will make your kid happy!
Book a venue no later than 2 months in advance. This will allow you to browse the offers, compare them and choose one that offers the best deal. Also, you will be able to plan the event from scratch and ensure that you will get all the important details
We recommend looking for kids’ birthday party venues near where you live, or the kids go to school, as it will be the most convenient for the parents to drop their kids off at your party. However, if you don’t mind travelling to the venue, consider central London. Soho, Fitzrovia and Covent Garden offer plenty of great venues both for low-budget and lavish parties. Apart from that, they’re easily accessible via public transport so you and your guests won’t have any problems getting to the venue.
Many toddler birthday party venues in London offer the convenience of in-house catering, taking the hassle out of planning your little one's special day. Venues like The Xtra Big One at The Corner London City and Children's Party at The Ampersand Hotel stand out for their exceptional catering services, offering a range of kid-friendly menus and customisable options to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters.
