Movie Parties
A movie party is a wonderful idea for 5 – 13 year old children. It can be executed within a short time. They are cost-effective and helps parents make outstanding parties for their kid. These parties should be planned based on the interest of your kid. You sure won’t plan a movie party for a kid who loves arts or football. It won’t be exciting. Check what your kids loves to strike a cord with them, so they remember the party for a long time. They could be held at night or during the day at a movie theater or in the house. Foods and drinks are great for making the party worthwhile. YFA runs so many movie parties to help parents create ever exciting parties for their kids birthday. You will find some useful information below.

First, it is extremely important that the movie party is planned not to ever exceed your budget. Find parties that are suitable for both high and low budgets but don’t go overboard.

Take time to find one that is would be interesting and reflects what your kid loves. Check to see that it’s an idea your kid likes. It could be a new movie or one watched before.
Decorations
This should be something perfect, speak volumes, and leave a lasting impression on everyone, like a wedding look. Night or day decorations can have your kids favorite movies, movie stars, colors and include a red carpet event. It is best to find a decoration that fits the film chosen.
Type of Food
Check and find foods that are unique for children party. You can still include your child’s favorite night snacks. Pizza, cupcakes, popcorn, milkshakes, chocolate bars, and popcorn cupcakes. Make snacks into movie stars and add free information about each star.
Invitations for Fun

Invitations should be something simple, but spectacular and unique to lure guests to the night or day party. Take time to find out information about your guests for example if they have allergies and what type of food to avoid at the party.

Movie Party Games for Much Fun
Can you imagine a party without games? I don’t think so. Without games the party does not reach the full potential and your kids might get taunted at school for that. Add games in line with the movie script increasing the excitement for kids, with information clues. Children are competitive and full of energy so setting up games you find will be great for them.
Goody bags
Every party requires some favors to send the children home with. These goody bags can be filled with different pieces and is best if it contains one piece from the movie and some information about the movie.
Baking a cake
Bake a unique and attractive cake with a movie character/star for your kids to make them feel love. It is best if related to the movie chosen. Find the cake flavor your kid prefers and bake it.
