Children’s birthday is a holiday that parents prepare with a special mood! All mothers and fathers dream that the memory of him is preserved in the child as a bright, bright and cheerful memory for life. When organizing a children’s birthday, parents especially want everything to be perfect. They strive to take into account all the nuances, and how insulting it sometimes happens when a holiday that seems to be thought out to the smallest detail gives a sudden failure.

An unexpected problem can be the different ages of the invited children. After all, if for adults the difference of 3-4 years is completely imperceptible, for children it is a lot. The guests of the birthday boy disperse in different directions and do not want to play together, someone is bored, someone is naughty, someone asks to go home. And you lament in bewilderment: “How could we not think about it!” But don’t blame yourself. Believe me, a children’s birthday is a holiday that requires from its organizers not at all children’s experience and knowledge.

From our many years of experience in organizing a children’s birthday, we know how important it is to truly love the children’s audience and take into account all the features of working with it. Any organizer of children’s parties will ask you about the age of the birthday boy and his friends, and you can easily answer this question. But, as they say, “the devil is in the details.” And experienced event managers know that a children’s company is almost never homogeneous in age.

Your birthday boy’s friends may have brothers or sisters that you can’t, and don’t want to, exclude from the guest list. There are a lot of children of different ages among your relatives, there are children of your friends of “approximately” the same age, and you have long thought of inviting the neighboring couple with a child… You sincerely want as many other children to share the joy of your birthday child as possible, so why should anyone refuse the invitation? Call everyone and give us a call – we know how to hold a party, which are invited both teenagers and preschoolers at the same time.

What is the critical age difference?

In order for the children’s party to be perfect, you need to take into account the age of all invited children. An inexperienced organizer focuses only on the age of the birthday person and the main part of the guests. The presenters whom we recommend know what needs to be done so that the children’s company of different ages does not fall apart by the end of the evening, and the birthday boy enjoys both the entertainment program and communication with all the guys.

If there is a difference of three or more years between children, the birthday program, activities and competitions should be thought out taking into account this circumstance. Discuss everything with the organizers of the holiday, and then the age of the guests will not become an unexpected problem. We will prepare contests, distribute roles in games, prepare master classes and select quest tasks so that everyone is interested and fun. Of course, our presenters have sufficient psychological knowledge, experience and professionalism to get out of any situation in the “impromptu” mode. But everyone knows that “the best impromptu is prepared impromptu”!

What to do with those who are older?

If there are older children among the guests of the birthday party, we will not allow them to stand on the sidelines and be embarrassed by the company of “little ones”. The hosts may ask them, “as adults”, to help run some competitions. We will develop tasks for quests and quizzes in advance with different levels of complexity, so that even older children would be interested. They will be surprised when they discover that they are enthusiastically playing their “children’s” games with the “kids”! And your young birthday boy will be doubly pleased that even “adult” guests are really having fun at their holiday!

How about babies?

The smallest guests of your birthday may feel superfluous and unnecessary in the company of older children, if you do not find a delicate and unobtrusive way to involve them in a common game. Toddlers are very sensitive to ridicule, so preparing simpler and easier tasks for them in quests and quizzes is not a universal option. Our experience shows that it is better for kids to come up with special roles and tasks in which they would not compete with older ones. Imagine an interactive or flash mob where guests prepare a common gift or a congratulation scene for a birthday person. There is a worthy role even for the smallest guest.

If the birthday boy has a brother or sister.

A special category of guests of the birthday child are his brothers and sisters. Unless you have twins or yearlings, you see a company of different ages at a birthday party at least twice a year. And about all the difficulties we talked about above, you know firsthand. When organizing children’s birthday parties, we often involve the brothers and sisters of the birthday child. Such seemingly simple questions – “Do you think your sibling will like this contest? What are his favorite games? Will you help us prepare a surprise for him? How about this be another one of your gifts for him?” – involve the second child in the process of preparing the party. And then it doesn’t matter whether he is younger or older, his brother’s or sister’s birthday becomes no less anticipated and desired than his own.

In short, please contact us, and then the company of different ages at a children’s birthday party will turn from a difficulty into a wonderful memorable feature of the holiday!
