Looking for a way to make sure your guests RSVP.  You might want to try putting next to the RSVP line in your invitation, “Regrets Only!”  Many people assume that if they plan on attending, that they don’t need to RSVP because the host parent assumes you will be there.  So, if you write “Regrets Only” on the RSVP line, you are doing exactly that, assuming that the guests will attend, unless you hear otherwise. 

It’s a good idea to try!

TIP: When buying presents for kids’ parties, make sure to ask for a gift receipt and include it in the birthday card.  Often, stores these days are not allowing returns to their stores without either a regular or gift receipt.  Just to make it easy on the birthday kid’s parents, remember the gift receipt! 

It will definitely be appreciated!!

If it is a particularly windy day and your kids’ party is outdoors, and you can see that the table cloth is about to fly off the table, a particularly useful idea is to fill and tie mini water balloons and attach them to the ends of the tablecloth. They look festive and will do the trick quite nicely. If you have a cake outdoors on the party table and have a towel casually thrown over the pan to keep bugs away, attaching the mini water balloons to the ends of the towel will keep it in place despite the wind as well.

If you have extras or want an additional festive touch, attach a few mini water balloons to the straws in the kids’ drinks. They will love these and, most likely, will enjoy popping them.
