Party Tips for Your Birthday Party at Chibis Indoor Playground

Tip #1: Timing is everything

If you would like to make the most of your play time in the playground, do not take time out to open gifts. Instead, take the birthday gifts home with you unopened. Set up a special place in your home to open the presents, and take a photo of the birthday child holding up each opened gift. Send a photo of each gift to its giver in your thank you note. The guests will feel like they were able to share in the joy by the look of surprise and thanks on the guest of honor's face.

Tip #2: Plan Ahead

If you have some free time the morning of the party, you can drop your cake, food and party supplies off early at the playground. We can help you make the most of your party time by having your party ready to be set up when you arrive.

Tip #3: Smart Food

If you bring your own party food, choose foods that are simple and easy to eat. Foods that require utensils or are really messy may mean that you spend a lot of time cleaning little hands and faces...repeatedly! Here are some examples of party foods that are neat and tidy. They can be presented in a way that will enable your guests to enjoy them in a timely manner so they can get back to the PLAYING!

• Ham or turkey sandwiches with mayo or butter, cut into triangles
• Cubes of ham, turkey or cheese served with party toothpics or on kabob skewers
• Fresh bite-sized veggie selection: carrots, cucumber, celery, frozen peas (thawed), cherry tomatoes, bell pepper or broccoli
• Fresh bite-sized fruit selection: apples, grapes, berries, melon or raisins
• Plain potato chips, crackers or pretzels - cheezy or flavored chips really coat the fingers
