Planning a kids party should feel exciting, not overwhelming! Whether you’re throwing a backyard bash, a park picnic, or a full-blown fairytale celebration, having a checklist on hand can help turn chaos into confidence. That’s why we’ve created this colourful, simple Kids Party To-Do List to help you organise everything with ease (and maybe even enjoy the planning part, too!).
Let’s walk through each step together — because no one does parties quite like Supa Dupa! 💜
✅ 1. Decide on the Type of Party
Big celebration or small gathering? Indoors or outdoors? Home, hall, or park?
Think about your child’s personality — do they love the spotlight or prefer something more low-key? Defining the vibe early will guide every other decision.
📅 2. Choose a Date & Time
Avoid scheduling near public holidays or big school events. Mid-morning or early afternoon often works best for young kids (and keeps sugar highs manageable!).
📍 3. Choose a Venue
Your place, a park, or one of our party-perfect venue partners?
Check out our venue suggestions at supadupa.com.au for some of our faves across Sydney!
🧒 4. Make the Guest List
Include your child’s classmates, cousins, and friends — and don’t forget to factor in siblings of guests. This helps with food, seating, and favour planning.
🎨 5. Think About a Theme
What’s your child obsessed with right now?
Princesses, pirates, superheroes, animals, arts & crafts, sports? Choosing a theme makes decorating, games, and entertainment SO much easier — and way more fun!
🦸 6. Contact SUPA DUPA KIDS PARTIES
We’re your go-to for incredible kids party entertainment across Sydney!
Once you know your theme, we’ll help plan all the activities to match — from character performers and magic shows to dancing, balloon animals, bubbles, and more.
💌 7. Send Invitations
Send digital invites 3–4 weeks in advance.
Ask us about free digital invitation templates we can help you create — easy to share and super cute!
🍰 8. Plan Food, Cake & Drinks
Keep it simple: finger food, water, and a showstopper cake are usually all you need.
Pro tip: Check with parents about allergies in advance and consider individual snack packs for younger kids.
🎈 9. Get Decorations & Party Supplies
Think balloons, banners, tableware, and themed props. Dollar stores, online retailers, and party shops make it easy — or keep it eco and DIY!
📸 10. Setup & Enjoy the Day!
Assign key roles (e.g. photographer, food runner, time-keeper) to friends or family to help the day run smoothly.
Then take a breath, grab a cupcake, and soak up the magic you’ve created! ✨
💫 BONUS TIP FROM TEAM SUPA DUPA:
Don’t forget to tell your entertainer if your child is shy, has special needs, or needs a gentler start to the party. We’ll customise the experience to suit their style — making the magic feel just right.
Whether you’re a Pinterest parent or a last-minute legend, this to-do list is your new party planning bestie. Save it, screenshot it, stick it on the fridge — and if you need help bringing your vision to life, Supa Dupa Kids Parties is just a call (or glittery DM) away! 💌
