do?s and
don
? ts for birthday parties do: rsvp as soon as you?ve consulted the family sched - ule. you can always let hosts know if something changes. don?t: treat the birthday party
as if it is a childcare center. stay with children
, and enjoy the fun. the host may appreciate the help, too! do: prepare your children for what to do in case they receive a gift they do not like. don?t: be caught off guard. plan for bad weather, unexpected party guests, and entertainers that may run late. do: keep parties more low-key with children under five. a fun activity is great; too many activities can be overwhelming. don?t: feel like you have to open party gifts while guests are in atten - dance. it?s sometimes best to wait until after the party. do: expect things to go a lit - tle differently from what you planned. kids will surprise you with their own magic. 2015-16 cover kid: cylyn l. 66 brparents.com | july 2016
