A Birthday Party Program Template

A lot of messages pouring in on my message box lately asking for my help about party program. Sorry for the delay coz I’ve been busy lately with relief operations for the victims of Typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng. Anyway,if you are going to ask me, here are my insights on this topic.

If you will be hiring a clown / magician / host, I suggest you follow their template, they are experienced on this field so better trust them. But if you will be doing the hosting by yourself (which I don’t recommend) or ask a friend or sibling to do the hosting, you may try this.

SAMPLE PROGRAM

I  - ARRIVAL OF GUESTS - Most guests arrive 30 minutes before the actual event, so while the kids are waiting for the party proper, the following Activities may start at this time :

• Activity booths such as Glitter Tattoo / Face Painting / Beads Making / Mini Parlor etc
• Coloring Pages
• Food carts such as Ice-cream, hotdogs, popcorns, chocolate fountain etc… should be ready to serve by this time

II - INTRODUCTION FROM THE HOST / WELCOMING OF GUESTS

III -  GRAND ENTRANCE OF THE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATOR WITH PARENTS AND SIBLINGS / SINGING OF HAPPY BIRTHDAY / VERY SHORT BIRTHDAY WISH FROM THE PARENTS / CAKE BLOWING - I recommend that this goes first while the guests are still very attentive. 

IV - PHOTO OPS / CAKE BLOWING  (FAMILY) -

V - GAMES - (3 - 4 games only /  2 games for Kids / 1 game for adults / 1 adult with kids game)

VI - EATING TIME

VII - AVP Presentation 

VIII - ENTERTAINMENT NUMBER / SPECIAL NUMBER

IX - ENTERTAINMENT / PUPPET SHOWS / MAGICIAN / VENTRILOQUIST / ETC… - If there’s none, Games Part 2

X - CANDY PULL OR PINATA / PABITIN (I dont recomment Palayok unless it’s a Filipiniana Theme)

XI - AWARDING OF PRIZES (Best in Costume, Early Bird,etc)

XII - GIVING OF LOOTBAGS

XIII - THANK YOU MESSAGE

Hope this helps..
