Secrets for Great Summer Birthday Parties

Posted on May 31, 2016

If your child has a summer birthday, you're likely familiar with the unique challenges of planning a party during the school break. Here at Monkey Joe's, we're the experts on kids' birthday parties in Northern Virginia, so check out our tips for making your kid's summer party a success. 

Opt for Indoor Celebrations

Outdoor parties have their drawbacks, including bug bites, sunburn, and even heat exhaustion. Opting for an indoor celebration removes those hassles and allows everyone to enjoy themselves without worrying about sunscreen and bug spray. At our indoor playground in Sterling, your child can play hard with their friends in a cool, clean environment... And parents will appreciate your choice as well!

Book Ahead of Time

Keep in mind that you are not the only individual hoping to plan a beautiful party this summer. When you do not make your reservation in advance, you may not be able to select the date and time that you want. Also, many people have busy schedules during the summer, so sending out the invitations early is smart. Fortunately you can book your child's birthday party quickly and easily online. 

Invite More Guests Than You Think You Need

Although you cannot predict exactly how many people will attend, you probably want to leave a generous amount of space on your guest list. Selecting a larger party package gives you that flexibility, so you can be sure that if there are several no-shows, your child will still have plenty of guests there to celebrate their special day.
