Each and every year you come to that time you need to start thinking about your child's next birthday party. Every parent gets the feelings of pressure to make it everything your child wants and that you can afford. We all know the usual party games like pin the tail on the donkey, pass the parcel and musical chairs along with the lolly buffets and a grand cake that your trying to get rid of at the end of the party. This is at just about every party iv been to in the past. Something has seemed to change in the past 2-3 years at the parties iv been attending...

So what are Mums and dads of Brisbane doing to spice up your run of the mill birthday parties for their kids? 

1.  Hire a jumping castle to entertain the kids instead of trying to organise so many games for the kids. Let them play to their little hearts are content. What better way to burn off the sugar rush and give you time to actually mingle with the parents of the children attending your party.

2. Location parties can be a great choice for keeping the mess and stress away from your home. Places like fast food outlets such as Mcdonalds and Hungry Jacks have been around for a long time and they offer the security of still going ahead even if the weather turns bad. However there are other places that you may not have thought about.

    -Specialty Parks are popping up everywhere with new interactive spaces like dry water parks and special interactive play equipment. Having a kids birthday party in any park in your council area will require you to apply through council to have the party if its over 50 people. This is usually free and easy to do online.

3. Hire specialty Equipment such as Sumo Suits or Bouncy Boxing to entertain your children.   Some of the best parties iv recently been too friends of mine have had these and they are such a great idea to get all the parents talking about your party. They make for some great photos and even better stories to tell.

with so many options out there the good old fashioned BBQ at home is the way top go about it however with every year there is a need to trump last years party. So here is a few ideas for planning your work or home Christmas party to get your mind going.

1. You can try spicing up your average BBQ at home or any party with a jumping castle hire. These days jumping castles are not just for kids , they have adult jumping castles for hire too !! The adults at your party will let lose after a few beverages to show the kids a thing or two.

2. Hire special food machinery such as a fairy floss machine or a cocktail machine . Most of the business's that supply jumping castle hire in Brisbane have these machines for hire along with snow cone machines and popcorn machines. Usually you will get a discount if you hire a few items from the same party hire place.

3. Challenge your guests with some Sumo suits or bouncy Boxing. Sumo suits come in kids and adult sizes. For a great laugh and activity that doesn't not need a lot of room Sumo suits are a great entertainer and ice breaker for your Christmas Party.

4. Have a secret Santa- but make it subject to a shop or theme - for instance Bunnings, BCF or Super Cheap Auto and set the budget at $10-$20. Having a activity like this will stimulate the conversation away from the same old talk of work and current affair issues. This will bring laughter and fun to the party.

5. Hire a entertainer , you might think hiring a entertainer might be a little over the top however having a entertainer can often steer the rest of the party in a more upbeat and fun direction after they have left . they give you experiences and laughs to talk about for the rest of the party and can entertain kids too giving the adults some time to talk to other adults with out having their children interrupt.

6. Table and chair hire , most people forget about seating and food space until the last minute . Hiring some tables and chairs for your party can take the edge of stressing about it last minute when you realise you have so many people coming.

7. Balloons and decorations can add atmosphere to your party with doubt. Doing this your self can also be very stressful and add to the time and preparation that goes into having a Christmas party at home. You can usually source these through Big W or a lot of the $2 shops such as Dollars and Sense, The Reject Shop and Spotlight can inflate and supply these ready for pick up at a very small price .
