5. Consider Your Guests

While it is of utmost importance to consider the birthday girl or boy, it is also important to look at your guest list. If your guests are very young it might benefit you as the hostess to also invite the parents, being sure to have elements of the party that appeal to both kids and parents. Strive to make the environment safe and pleasant for your guests. If you know of a guest with a food allergy or special diet be sure to have something available that they can eat. On the same note it's always good to ask parents if their child has a known allergy.
