Proper sitting arrangements
It is essential to make proper sitting arrangements for the guests. If you don’t have enough chairs, you can borrow it or hire it from the tent houses. Place the chairs in a way that they don’t look scattered all over the place. They should either be in a semi-circle or a rectangle. Cover every chair with the theme color clothes. This will make them look beautiful. You can always hire any decorative items like cloth or chairs from your nearby tent house.

Food and Drinks
Always keep the menu according to your guests. If you have only kids at your party keep their favorite snacks and drinks. Don’t opt for the main course. Children can never stuff themselves too much.

Arrange treasure hunting for the kids. The winner can take away the gift he or she hunted for. Keep a small poetry or singing contest. A family member can disguise himself as a clown and entertain these toddlers. Children can be pampered with candies while they play. This makes them feel special.arrange the game known as loot. Tie a big size balloon in the middle of the hall filled with pencils, erasers, toffees, sharpeners, etc. soon after cake cutting ask the birthday kid to blast that balloon. As soon as the balloon blasts kids will enjoy looting the treasure.
Return gifts
This is the most awaited part of any birthday party. Children love when they get gifts. Make the arrangement properly. You can make a packet of stationary or storybooks. Packs of chocolates and chips are also liked a lot. Tennis balls or ludo can make a great choice. Make sure you wrap these gifts in beautiful wrapping paper. If possible wrap it in theme color paper.
