5 Stress-Free Kids Birthday Party Ideas

Planning your child's birthday party can be stressful. With so much pressure to have the house clean, make sure you have enough chairs for everyone, and deciding the theme, things can get overwhelming quickly. By finding an outside venue to hold your event, you eliminate many of the stressful aspects and can spend your time on the fun parts of party planning.

1. Pizza Party

The list of things that kids love more than a pizza party is not very long. A crowd pleasing activity for all ages, offering a selection of pizzas at a party is a sure hit. But, arrange your party around a pizza buffet, and you've outdone yourself as far as the kids are concerned.

2. Go-Kart

For the racing enthusiast in your family, a go-kart birthday party is perfect. Make the whole day a Grand Prix theme, with checkered invitations, a toy car cake, and prizes for the fastest, the slowest, the least mistakes, and the most mistakes.

3. Rockwall Climbing

If you want to think outside the party box, a rockwall climbing party theme could be a good idea. All children love climbing, and all parents love the safety guidelines and harnesses. The activity keeps kids strategically thinking about the next move and playing all at once.

4. Arcade Games

A classic birthday party is one at the arcade. With a hand full of tokens and a room full of game options, there will be something for everyone. Be sure to purchase extra tokens, so everyone can play until their hearts are content.

5. Laser Tag

Sometimes planning a party for an older child is a challenge. Laser tag often rises to that challenge and keeps kids wanting more. The kids will love the fast-moving, loud, and exciting game. They can work together and playfully against each other to win.

3 Corporate Event Ideas to Impress Your Boss

Planning corporate events doesn't have to include the usual suspects of board rooms and pastry trays. There can be an element of fun to your work-place gatherings. To bring out the sporting and competitive side of your staff, try holding your event around an activity. Getting staff to compete on enjoyable tasks, or to work together as a team are good ways to build rapport in the office.

1. Tag, You're It

If your team is high-energy, laser tag can be a great option. Not only does it use a lot of physical fun, but it also gets team members to develop strategies and work together in a positive way to help their team win.

2. Mini Golf

Another not so typical option for corporate events is a trip to the putt-putt course. Staff can have a blast trying to get the lowest score in a silly setting that takes the edge off of office protocol. Mix things up with pairs, blindfolds, or other competitions. Playing putt-putt is more than just fun and games. It can teach team members how to manage challenges and change.

3. Go Krazy

Go-kart racing is a great way to let off some office steam. If you have only a few staff, then everyone will get a chance to drive. The arcade will keep track of scores and you can have an award ceremony after the event. If you have a lot of staff, put them into groups, with each electing a driver. The rest can come up with a team name and cheer on the driver with creative chants and signs.

Facilities that offer these type of activities typically also have food and beverage options. Many have all-inclusive tickets for the day, or allow you to rent out certain sections for your corporate events.
