• Keep the matches in your pocket and ready to light the candles.
• Have an activity ready for kids as they arrive for the party, like colouring.
• Plan activities before the party to keep the kids busy.
• Parties should be kept to a maximum duration of 2 hours. Stipulate the drop-off and collection times clearly on the party invite.
• Children love pre-packaged loot bags ? but make sure all contain identical treats!
•  Small boxes of fruit juice will see fewer spills.
