After this come the decorations. Choose a theme your child actually loves. Dinosaurs? Disney? Princesses? See what really excites them and build decorations around that theme to really create a memorable setting.

The next step is of course snacks and the birthday cake. Themed cakes are always good, and let the birthday boy or girl choose the flavor and frosting. That's going to make them happy, but don't hold out until dinner; serve some snacks and treats for before supper.
Party Snacks and Cake
