It is best to plan for activities
for the whole party so that there is never a slow moment. You don't have
to do ALL of the activities you had planned, but you should have a
backup in case not all of the children like playing musical chairs, or
pin the tail on the donkey.
Here is where DominO's
Magic Show keeps everything active, fun, and energized at your
child's birthday party.
Birthday parties are best
enjoyed when they run smoothly.
The ideal party should run 2 1/2 to 3 hours
May we suggest the following
schedule:
TIME: The time you want the
party to start from (say 1pm)
1:00 PM - Open the doors!
The guests are arriving! Your birthday child greets each guest as they
arrive. Gifts should be placed in a big decorated box to be moved out of
the general activity area and opened at the END of the party, following
the birthday cake!
1:30 PM - All the guests
have arrived - Martin DominO arrives, and greets the birthday child and
their guests, and amidst silly bits of business sets up with the
children and starts the magic show!
2:15 PM / 2:45 PM - Show
concludes. Depending on your chosen party service, Martin DominO can
also make JEST BALLOONS, hand
out MAGIC GOODIEBAGS with a
quick magic lesson for your guests, present the birthday child with a PERSONAL
MAGIC KIT as appropriate
2:45 PM - Hungry guests eat
birthday snacks! Birthday cake is lit, "Happy Birthday" to
birthday child, and cake is devoured!
3:00 PM - Last minute
details for goodie bags, balloons and gifts. Children are arranged in a
big circle, and it is time to open presents!
3:15 PM - Presents are
opened, and children begin playing with new gifts.
3:30 PM - Time for a quick
game, or some last minute snacks,
as parents will being picking children up from the party
(1:00 - 3:30ish is the perfect length party for most children!)
