Is It Better to Have an Indoor or Outdoor Birthday Party?

Wondering whether to have your child’s birthday party indoors or outdoors?

Keep reading to discover the best way to plan a successful birthday party for your child. 

Indoor vs. Outdoor Birthday Parties

After performing for thousands of birthday parties, I understand the party planning challenges that parents face time and time again.  

Here are 5 challenges that can make an outdoor birthday party experience less enjoyable for your child: 

  1. Bugs, bees and insects

  2. Hot sun and heat

  3. Wind, rain, and inclement weather  

  4. Strangers 

  5. Injuries

On the other hand, outside parties can be appealing because there’s no rug to get dirty, the kids can go wild and there’s nothing expensive to break, and you don’t need to spend money on renting a party space.

Anticipation and Prevention are Key

Whether you have the celebration indoors or outdoors, you can plan a successful birthday party by anticipating and preventing the most common challenges.

For example…

  • If you’re worried about bugs and bees… then bring bug spray and a blanket for the kids to sit on. 
  • If you’re concerned about behavior indoors and/or the rug getting dirty… Set clear expectations and boundaries for the kids. Display a sign on your door asking guests to remove their shoes.
  • If you’re feeling anxious about the threat of rain… arrange an indoor back-up plan. Make the contingency plan clear on the RSVP. 

Overcoming the challenges that you can control means you’ll be able to plan a fun and successful birthday party.
