Finding the appropriate entertainment for children can be fun.  

Here is a recent event idea in which we had a balloon artist.  He was able to create anything from a Super Mario character to a monkey hanging from a palm tree.

Needless to say, the balloon maker was a big hit with the kids.

Another treat for guests is a fully stocked candy bar. This purple candy bar was laid out in glass vases with varying shades of purple candy to match the colors of the reception. Small purple Chinese to-go boxes were also provided so guests (young and old) could take home some treats for the road. One mother was even encouraging her daughters to take home more sweets so she could sneak some for herself on the trip back.  This goes to show that parties are not just for grown ups. There are plenty of inventive ways to ensure that kids can have fun too!
