Coming up with a theme for the party is one of the easiest ways to set up some parameters around the party itself, as this will give you an idea of the sort of decorations you will need, the kind of cake you will buy, and the activities that will comprise the party itself.
Once you have collaborated with your child to come up with a theme, you should also let them choose their "guest list," and while this might seem like an obvious suggestion, many parents accidentally find themselves inviting who they think their child will want - or inviting their own friend's children, rather than their child's friends - and this will make the party a lot less fun for your child.
And after the invites have been taken care of, you will want to make sure the party is planned out in such a way that there are enough activities to keep all the kids occupied - and make sure you are also keeping in mind the fact that it is far better to plan the party too short than to plan the party so that it goes too long! After all, you would certainly rather have the kids go home wishing they'd had more time at the party than for everyone (yourself included!) to be stuck at the party, wishing it would end!
