Small things can make a big difference.

Having performed for over 2,000 NYC birthday parties, I can say, unequivocally, yes!
Keep reading and you’ll see how even a rough idea of the party’s activities and an estimate of the time involved will make a world of a difference!
You’ll be able to relax and enjoy the party more
If you notice the kids are getting antsy or bored, then a timeline will give you the freedom to move onto the next activity without panicking (“What am I going to do?!”)
And because the guests know when the party starts and ends, you can enjoy their company while they’re there… and not have to feel awkward when it’s time to say goodbye.

Birthday parties are packed with fun and excitement, but too much fun can be overwhelming and cause kids to become tired or cranky. It’s amazing what a sense of structure can do to put kids (and parents) at ease.
Your guests will be more likely to show up on-time
Including a firm start/end time on the invitation encourages guests to be prompt, which means you won’t have to stress about the flow of your party. Here are 6 more tips for getting guests to arrive on-time.
But what if cake and ice cream takes three times longer than scheduled—and everyone is enjoying themselves?
No need to panic. A birthday party timeline will ultimately give you the freedom to go with the flow, enjoy and have fun. It’s your special day, too! :-)
