It is that time of year again. Your child’s birthday is just around the corner. There is so much to do to get ready for the party. Planning a child’s birthday party is necessary.

Next it is time to decide on a date, a place, and the time to have the party . Most people have the child’s party on the weekend for conveniece (方便) of the parents’ schedule (日程安排). When you have already decided on a date and time, you need to choose a place to have the party. It should be a place your child will enjoy, such as a favorite park, a nice restaurant or your own home.
