The Party Planning Guide For
Adding Some Pink Party Angel Magic

A party planning guide that makes planning Pink Heaven parties a breeze!

Planning parties involves a great deal of stress.

There are lists to compile, supplies to buy and plenty to organize.

But it's all in the party planning guide. From choosing the date and time of the event to cleaning up after the party.

Just follow this planning guide and you'll find that planning parties has never been so simple.

There are many different areas in planning parties that are covered separately under party planning ideas but this planning guide ties all those ideas together to create the ultimate Pink Heaven party!

This party planning guide is based around a kids birthday party for around twenty Pink Heaven Party Angels. It can easily be adapted for other types of party e.g. holiday, teen or adult and quantities are easily changed for smaller or larger parties.

So pick a party theme (kids party ideas, teen party ideas or Holiday party ideas), get your birthday planning checklists at the ready and lets get birthday party planning!

When? - Date And Time

First up, you need to set a date and time for the party. Obviously, its best if the party is on the Pink Heaven Party Angels actual birthday but this is not always possible.

Parties are usually hosted in the afternoon. An ideal starting time on a weekday would be between 4 and 5 o'clock and between 12 and 2 o'clock on the weekend.

PINK HEAVEN PARTY TIP - If the birthday falls on a weekday due to school, work, other commitments and time constraints during the week it is sometimes better to host the party on a weekend. Remember to make sure all the important guests can come on this date.

Where? - Party Venues

For a small party it is advisable to host the party in your own home or garden (if you have the room). For a larger party, to save your home, hiring a venue is a great option.

This can be anything from a small hall or back room at a restaurant to a specially tailored party venue, where all your party needs are taken care of!

PINK HEAVEN PARTY TIP - As a party planning guide have a rough idea of how many guests you will be inviting, as homes as well as many other venues do have guest limitations. Also if booking a venue do this at least two months in advance to avoid disappointment.

Who? - The Guest List

Which brings us to drawing up the guest list. Once the guest list is completed write out the party invitation ideas and aim to hand them out around two weeks before the big event.

The easiest way to send out invitations is to create extraordinary free digital invitations in minutes at Smilebox.com! You can even add your own photos, video clips and music. The best thing of all is that it's totally free to create and share. Here is an example of a princess invitation created by the Pink Heaven Party Angel:

PINK HEAVEN PARTY TIP - When compiling the guest list start with your children then family. Breakdown friends into groups such as ones from school, local children and others from clubs or organizations. When grouped together like this it is easier to remember everyone.

Also remember to take into account any siblings each Pink Heaven Party Angel may bring with them.

Decorating The Pink Party Venue

Pink is the party planning guide keyword when creating Pink Heaven kids party ideas.

Pink, sparkly and girly party decoration ideas are the order of the day and for younger children creating a magical and heavenly party theme all lays in your presentation. So don't hold back!

PINK HEAVEN PARTY TIP - I'd suggest shopping for decorations and supplies as soon as possible to make sure that you get everything you need. Suppllies for all Pink Heaven parties are available from our USA and UK party shops.

A Pink Birthday Cake

A birthday cake idea is the centerpiece of any food table and a pink birthday cake tops off every Pink Heaven party.

You can either buy a ready made pink cake or make your own which can be easily done with the many different birthday cake ideas available.

Pink Party Food

The most essential part of the Pink Heaven party planning guide is food!

All these Pink Heaven Party Angels have to eat so start writing up your list of some delicious and pink birthday party menu idea for a heavenly party.

If your still worried about what to serve, quantities and what exactly do you need to buy, you need the party planner. A site full of delicious party recipes and excellent party planning advice.

PINK HEAVEN PARTY TIP - Print out the Pink Heaven birthday party checklist to take to the supermarket with you to make sure you buy plenty of buffet party food ideas or ideas for a dinner party.

Start shopping for non-perishable food around a week before the party so you are able to get everything you need.

Entertainment

A CD player, some CDs and a couple of classic or themed party games is usually enough (and cheap!) for a kids' birthday party. But if you have the funds available hiring a DJ, bouncy castle or childrens entertainer is a great idea.

PINK HEAVEN PARTY TIP - But be warned, hiring entertainment can be expensive, and for it to be worth the money it usually requires a lot of guests. But if budget is no problem - go for it!

Pink Party Favors

Giving a little something to say thank you to the guests at the end of the party is a birthday tradition.

Whether these gifts and treats are in a favor box or in a party loot bag there are hundreds of birthday party favor ideas to fill them.

PINK HEAVEN PARTY TIP - The day before the party lay out the loot bags on a large surface and then putting 2 gifts and 2 or 3 treats next to or on each bag.

You can then easily make sure everyone has roughly the same before you fill each box or bag.

Extra Ideas

You will need your party planning guide to get everything ready and in one place the day before and write a list of all perishable foods you will need to get ready before the party starts so you don't forget them.

PINK HEAVEN PARTY TIP - Start to get the party ready around an hour before the starting time and don't forget extras such as:

Cocktail Sticks

Candles

Knife (to cut the cake)

Black Bags

Cling Film

Cleaning Equipment (e.g. brush and pan)

Cello tape

Foil

Party Planning Guide Checklist

The key to party planning is to keep organized.

As you do, buy or complete anything tick it off on your checklist.

On the day before the party aim to tick off any items on your birthday planning checklist that you haven't got or completed so theres no mad rush five minutes before the party starts!

Party Time Line

So, it's party time but what do you do now?

Here is my birthday party planning guide for a two hour party between the hours of 2 and 4pm, which can be easily adapted to your own parties.

2pm - 2.30pm - Let the guests arrive as some maybe late.

2.30pm - 3pm - Serve the food and give the guests time to eat.

3pm - 3.15pm - Tidy away some of the empty plates and cups.

3.15pm - 3.40pm - Party games and entertainment.

3.40pm-3.45pm - Sing Happy Birthday and it's candle blowing time!

3.45pm - 4pm - Cut the cake to put in the loot bags and hand them all out before the guests leave.

4pm - Start the cleanup process!

Remember, though, that these are guidelines only. If everybody arrives on time or they take longer to eat then feel free to adjust the times, maybe by adding or getting rid of a party game.

Ready? Then relax and go party!!

Remember, if you can't find what you are looking for here then why not ask the Pink Heaven Party Angel, who is there to answer all your party questions. Or why not help others with their party planning problems by answering their questions!
