What are parents most worried about when organising their children's party?
13 January 2025
It can be stressful when trying to organise a child's party
Some parents feel that the invitation process can be tricky. You may invite people and some do not even reply but instead just turn up or You don't want to miss anyone out so you think you have to invite everyone in the class year.
Top Tip: Do not overthink it and stress

What can you do to relieve the stress?
- Get your invites out in good time
- Give them a clear date to RSVP
- You may have to plan for an extra 5 children even if they do not RSVP just in case
- Be clear of timings especially if you have an entertainer booked. This just prompts your guests to be on time
- Give your child (if old enough) the opportunity to chose their guests even if you give them a number to chose from
- Don't panic. From experience, usually it all goes to plan in the end

All fun, no one left out – just laughter and memories for everyone! Hosting a party outside for your little one? Great idea! Outdoor spaces offer fresh air, room to move, and a perfect backdrop for unforgettable fun. Here’s the secret to a successful celebration: pick games where everyone stays involved. Elimination-style games can leave kids feeling left out, which is the last thing anyone wants at a party. That’s why inclusive games that keep everyone active are the key. At Lovelee Entertainment, we’ve created magical outdoor parties for a very long time. We know what sparks kids’ excitement and how to keep the good times rolling. Here’s our favourite collection of outdoor party games for every age – no eliminations, just full-on fun. Ages 3–5: Playful, Simple, and Full of Wiggles Copycat Parade 🧸 One child (or grown-up) leads the group by marching, hopping, twirling, or making silly faces – and everyone follows along! Switch leaders regularly so every child gets a moment to shine. Colour & Shape Search 🖍️ Cut out large colourful shapes and scatter them around the yard. Call out “Find the red circle!” or “Look for a blue triangle!” and the kids work together to spot the right one. It's great for teamwork and early learning. Stop & Go 🚦 Call out commands like: “Green!” = Run “Yellow!” = Walk slow “Red!” = Freeze Add silly twists like “Pink!” = Hop or “Orange!” = Wiggle. Kids love the variety and energy. Ages 6–8: Creative, Loud & Hilarious Groovy Freeze Dance 🎶 Play some upbeat music and let the kids dance their hearts out! Pause the music randomly and have them freeze in their funniest pose. No one is ever out – just endless dancing and laughter. Add themes like “dance like a chicken” or “freeze like a statue” for extra laughs. 👉 A go-to favourite in many of our Lovelee Entertainment party experiences! Treasure Hunt Challenge 🔍 Hide fun “treasures” (fake gems, gold coins, stars) in the garden or park. Set a time limit and challenge kids to work together to find them all. Fast-paced and super engaging, with plenty of chances for teamwork. Team Fun Tasks 🧠 Split into small groups and give each team a silly task: Stack plastic cups using only elbows Come up with a team handshake Make a human pyramid No competition – just collaboration and laughs. Ages 9–12: Inclusive, Fast-Paced & Memorable Balloon Relay Twist 🎈 Form teams and pass a balloon from person to person using different methods – over the head, under the legs, even with elbows! The goal? Don’t let it drop! It's light-hearted, silly, and fun for everyone. Interactive Character Adventures 🎭 Included in our Lovelee Entertainment themed packages, these games let kids step into fantasy roles – like wizards, pirates, or space explorers. The whole group joins in on missions, solving problems together with our entertainer guiding the story. Every child plays a part. Why Games Without Elimination Make Parties Better At Lovelee Entertainment, we believe parties should lift every child up. Games that remove players mid-way can feel unfair and dull. That’s why we focus on fully inclusive, high-energy games where every kid stays engaged until the very end. Our team is trained to create fun, structured experiences where all personalities – shy, confident, or anything in between – feel welcome and excited. Let’s Make Your Child’s Party Unforgettable From music and storytelling to games and characters, we bring the full party experience to your garden or park. Whether you're expecting a handful of guests or a big crowd, Lovelee Entertainment will make it effortless and magical. 🎉 Reach out today to check our availability – our calendar fills up fast!
