Planning a child’s birthday party means considering the activity, the guest list, the party bags and most importantly, creating the most fun for everyone invited, including the birthday person.
As we’ve run many karting children’s parties, we understand how to organise a memorable experience and plan a day everyone will enjoy. Whether it’s a big birthday or your child wants to do a new activity, we’re on board to help with planning.
STEPS TO PLANNING A KID'S KARTING PARTY:
We know that a kid’s party means endless hours of entertainment, big smiles and making memories with family and friends. When planning the party, the first step is to write a list of everything you need to do, such as a guest list and organising the date.
Plan the date, time, guest list and activity
The first part of any party planning process is the logistics, the party date and the guests. Planning the date can help ensure everyone on your guest list is available and fits alongside other party plans for your child.
Now it’s time for the activity, and a kid’s party means leaning into their favourite hobbies and passions, and if that’s go-karting, you’re in the right place. You can choose various types of karting parties or decide on other suitable activities, such as laser tag. Whatever the activity, knowing your decision can help work out your budget and time frame.
Research the event location
Choosing the go-karting venue is down to what the nearest indoor and outdoor track to you is and ensuring the location offers everything you’re after, from catering for the age-appropriate karts. We have venues across the UK, offering various packages suitable for every type of racer and birthday party.
Send invitations
The invitations are an opportunity to get creative, adding personality to each note. This can be a fun activity for kids, as they can paint or use stencils to make the invitations as unique as possible. When you're happy with the invites, send them out with enough notice for people to reply if they can attend.
Consider the party food and birthday cake
The best thing about every birthday party is the cake. We know kids love to blow out the candles and sing a ‘happy birthday’ song to the birthday person and eat all the sugar possible at parties. Kids are bound to work up an appetite, and you should consider the level of catering you’d like to provide, from a small lunchtime meal to picky foods where the children can choose what they want to eat. With many party packages, we include catering, and you’ll want to see if they match the food you’re looking to offer.
Plan the party bags and any extras on the day
Every child loves to walk away with a little gift after a party, and that’s why party bags are still a tradition many parties love to have. Planning the party bags doesn’t have to be a massive ordeal; just a couple of things the kids can take away, such as sweets, a mini toy, a slice of cake and a balloon. Other extras to consider on the day are if you need to pack the decorations or cater to someone with allergies.
Confirm all the last-minute party details
Before the party can begin, in the week leading up to it, it’s time to check all the details, such as timings, following up on those who haven’t RSVP, and the details are in place. Being organised means everything should go smoothly on the day.
Set up on party day
Party day is here! On the day, all you need to think about is packing the party bags and decorating the venue with personalised items, such as balloons and banners - and then let the chaos begin!
