If you rather have a home party then hiring entertainment or equipment is also something to be done well in advance. When hiring equipment such as bouncy castles make sure you abide by the safety rules such as only similar aged children on the castle at the same time.

My eight year old daughter had a bouncy castle party in the garden last year, it was great fun. Even though she was only eight we ordered an adult size 18x18 for only £10 more than the kids size. We were able to invite her entire class but kept a careful watch on how many children were playing on it at one time plus ensuring all those on it were about the same size to avoid any serious collision accidents.

We also arranged for the castle to be kept overnight at no extra cost which allowed the whole family could share in the fun once the visiting kids had gone home.
