Prepare for a girl's birthday party by assembling all of the necessary supplies.
Make a list of supplies for the girl's birthday party you're planning. This will help you keep things in order and keep all of the party supplies relevant to the theme of the birthday party. Choosing a theme and planning any party games or activities will help you figure out what supplies are necessary to make the birthday party fun for all. Does this Spark an idea?
Decorations
Decorations typically make the party location feel more festive and lend to the celebratory ambiance. Streamers, balloons and a "happy birthday" birthday sign or banner are basic birthday decorations that can contain any color and be adapted to any theme. Get more specific with decorations, tailoring them to the theme. For example, lace doilies and a large bouquet of flowers on a table would be appropriate decorations for a girl's tea party. Or, hang posters or blown up pictures of the latest cartoon character, horses or whatever fits the theme of the party.
Games, Activities and Entertainment
Gather any supplies you need for the games, activities or entertainment during the party. Having all of the supplies in one location will help the party go smoother. If you plan on having outdoor activities, such as water balloon tosses, have plenty of water balloons at your disposal.
For a cooking party, have all of the ingredients you'll need. Gather extra pillows and blankets for a sleepover. Fill a basket or large duffel bag with old clothes, wigs, purses and high heels to allow the girls to play dress-up or have dress-up relays.
Assemble all of the items, such as colored pencils, glue, glitter, paper and scissors for crafts, such as making cards or scrapbooking. Any craft you allow the girls to do, such as beading or painting pottery, can also serve as a favor when the party is over.
Food
Provide small snacks, such as fruit, pretzels, nachos or chips for the girls to tide them over until the meal. Include a couple of options for mealtime such as hot dogs and hamburgers or different kinds of sandwiches. For dessert, have a traditional birthday cake or mix it up and offer a candy bar or chocolate fondue with various fruits for older girls. A candy bar consists of various kinds of candy set up like a buffet.
Plan out at least two or three different beverage choices including water, juice or soft drinks. Include your daughter's favorites. Consider having ice available, as well.
Plates, napkins and cutlery are necessary supplies. Disposable items will make cleanup much easier.
Favors and Prizes
Assemble favor bags for your birthday party guests that coordinate with the party's theme. For example, fill a small purse or cosmetic bag with nail polish, lip gloss or hair accessories to create a spa or glamorous theme party favor bag. Younger girls might prefer stickers, crayons and a small coloring book related to the party theme.
