Here are a few tips to help you choose party entertainment for your child’s upcoming party. With these tips, you can give your child a memory that will last a lifetime. Read on to learn more!

Talk to Other Parents

Before you begin using these tips, talk to other parents who live in the area. They can help you create a list of party ideas. They can also help you determine which sources of kids’ entertainment to avoid.

With their help, you can avoid hosting a dull party. Instead, you can learn from their previous experiences in party planning and hosting kids’ events.

When speaking with other parents, consider asking:

• Where was the party held
• Was the entertainment on time
• How much did the cost of their services
• Did your child have fun
• What problems did you experience

If the parent experienced problems with the entertainer, ask what the company did the resolve the issue. If the company didn’t offer a solution, remove that company from your list.

When researching other options, make sure to look for customer reviews online. Look for a company that already has glowing reviews.

Make a List of Options

Start creating a list of entertainment ideas. For example:

• Magicians/magic shows
• Outdoor cinema
• Water balloon battles
• Balloon artists
• Mobile petty farms
• Scavenger/treasure hunt
• Pamper party
• Dance party
• Karaoke

You can reach out to The Jolly Jester if your child is interested in magicians and sleight-of-hand tricks!

Once you build a list of options, look into companies in the area that provide these services.

Determine how long each company has run and operated in town. If they’re new, they might still need to work out operational issues (scheduling, billing, etc.). The entertainers might lack experience with children, too.

Compare Costs

As you continue reviewing your options for kids’ entertainment, gather quotes from multiple companies. Gathering more than one estimate will help you determine the average cost of that form of entertainment.

If one entertainer’s pricing is higher than the rest, determine why.

If an option doesn’t fit your budget, remove it from your list.

Discuss With Your Child

Choose two or three options from your list and talk to your child to determine their favorite. Make sure to narrow down the choices before you speak with your child. Otherwise, you might overwhelm them with options.

They might ask for more than one source of entertainment, too.

Once they make a choice that suits your budget and the venue, make sure to book the entertainer right away!
