The 90-Minute Birthday Party Plan
Here’s a quick outline for a 90-minute party:
• Provide a welcoming activity related to your theme. A simple arts and craft project is a good choice. (15 minutes)
• When everyone has arrived, introduce an active game. (15 minutes)
• Play a quiet game. (15 minutes)
• Serve cake and other food. (15 minutes)
• Open presents. (10 minutes)
• Play a cooperative game or hunt. (15 minutes)
• Distribute goody bags or favors and thank guests for coming (5 minutes)
Then collapse. Later on, help your child write thank-you notes.

You could even put the thank you notes (Thanks for coming to my party) right in the treat bags and save a few more minutes!

That's a great idea!!!!

It's easier to motivate my kids to write the thank you's before the party as they're pretty excited to see their friends (and get the gifts!) After the party's over, writing thank you's are like pulling teeth!!!
