			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re like most parents, choosing a place to throw a party for kids is something you think about at least once a year. Many parents struggle with the thought of throwing a party for kids because while they love to create special memories for their child’s birthday or other celebration occasion, the entire act of planning, executing and cleaning up is exhausting. </p>
<p>In fact, many parents claim they need a vacation after each birthday celebration is over! However, if parents choose a place to throw a party for kids wisely, they can forgo all of the hassle that traditionally accompanies <a href="http://www.inflatablekingdom.com/" target=_blank >kids parties</a> .</p>
<p><strong>Look for these details when choose your next party location:</strong></p>
<p>1. Activities Provided: Children absolutely expect to have a great time when they attend a party for children. So, when you’re choosing a place to throw a party for kids be sure the location has plenty of kid-friendly activities to keep your party guests entertained for the length of the party itself. Inflatable activities are always a great addition to a party because they are suitable for all ages. It’s always a great idea to plan the party at a location where many age groups can be entertained, as sometimes parents and younger siblings like to engage in the party fun as well.</p>
<p>2. Price of Venue: In today’s economy, choosing a place to throw a party for kids also requires finding a venue within your family budget. Parties can get expensive and finding an affordable party venue can seem daunting. However, there are many party venues which understand how tight most families’ budgets are these days and are more than willing to offer you an affordable party price for your big celebration.</p>
<p>3. Included Extras: When choosing a place to throw your kid’s party, be sure to ask about any included extras. Some locations offer drinks, food, cake or party decorations as included extras. Other locations will offer paper goods or goodie bags for guests to take home. Be sure you fully understand what the party package includes at your chosen venue. The more it includes, the less work and preparation you’ll be required to do. Thus, the less stress you’ll experience during the party planning!</p>
<p>4. Host Availability: Most party venues for children include a party host who will assist you throughout the entire event. Party hosts are perfect for parents who would rather not spend their child’s party celebration rushing around getting everyone drinks or cake. The party host can take care of the daunting party tasks while parents can enjoy the fun and mingle with the other parents and family members attending the event.</p>
<p>Overall, choosing a place to <a href="http://www.inflatablekingdom.com/birthdays/" target=_blank >throw a party for kids</a>  doesn’t need to be overwhelming or exhausting. It can be as simple as finding a place which fits your specific needs and falls within your ideal budget.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you a coach or team parent who is <a href="http://www.inflatablekingdom.com/custom-events/" target=_blank >planning a pizza party</a>  for the kids sports team this year? If so, you may have no idea where to begin in your planning task. Pizza parties are a great way to boost team morale, celebrate the end of the season or gather the players together for an after-game celebration. </p>
<p>Traditionally, pizza is a favorite snack in the world of kids and the idea of a pizza party is always highly welcomed by children of all ages. When planning this year’s pizza party, use these simple tips to help you quickly and effortlessly organize a fun and delicious event.</p>
<p><strong>Choosing Your Pizza Party Location</strong></p>
<p>Planning a pizza party for the kids sports team begins with choosing a location. Is there a local pizza place near the ballpark the team practices at each week? If not, you may want to expand your search to other local venues. While pizza parlors would obviously be an easy choice for your team pizza party, they may not be large enough to host the team and their family members. </p>
<p>So, think ahead and consider calling other venues in the area if you’re expecting a large outcome. Book a venue and just order pizza to be delivered there. If you want to go all-out and host an incredible pizza party, consider picking a venue with other activities for the children, such as games or giant inflatables.</p>
<p><strong>Send Out Invites</strong></p>
<p>It’s a great idea to remind parents to “save the date” for the team pizza party a few months ahead of schedule. Parents with children involved in sports often find their schedules to be booked for months at a time. So, send home flyers with the players a few months in advance or hand them out to parents at the games. </p>
<p>Then, a few weeks before the actual event put in a call to each parent, reminding them of the pizza party date and time. If you plan the party to occur during a normal practice time or after a game, you may find your attendance rate will improve. After all, the parents are already accustomed to blocking off that time for sporting fun.</p>
<p><strong>Consider The Menu</strong></p>
<p>Before ordering pizza for the party, it’s important to get a rough estimate of what types the players enjoy. Most children love cheese pizza or pepperoni pizza. However, it’s important for you to consider any children with special dietary needs. </p>
<p>Ask parents if there are any children with allergies on the team and choose not to order anything that may affect an allergic child in a negative way. Also, think about religious children and forgo ordering certain meats (often pork) some players are offended by eating. By<br />
getting a rough count of “who likes what”, you can effectively and efficiently order the correct pizzas for the fun event. </p>
<p>Planning a <a href="http://www.inflatablekingdom.com/" target=_blank >pizza party in Portland</a>  for the kids sports team is fun for everyone involved and can go off without a hitch with plenty of advanced planning. You provide the pizza, the kids provide the fun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re hosting a large or small event soon, you may want to hire an <a href="http://www.inflatablekingdom.com/custom-events/" target=_blank >event planner in Portland</a> for your next event or party. While many people think about hiring event planners for weddings or other special events, they often forget to consider the option when planning smaller parties or corporate celebrations. There are many benefits associated with hiring an event planner in Portland for your next event or party.  </p>
<p><strong>Benefits of hiring an event planner in Portland: </strong></p>
<p>* Familiarity: If you are coming in from out of town to host a party in Portland, chances are you really have no idea where to plan or what venues to book. However, a professional event planner in Portland will be familiar with the city and have the needed contacts to create a beautiful event. In fact, you don’t even need to arrive in town until your event date has arrived, allowing the entire thing to be planned with you in another city.</p>
<p>* Time Efficiency: If you’re as busy as most others in the world, chances are you have very little time to dedicate to planning an event or party. Hiring an event planner in Portland can help you save time and allow you to put your energy into more important tasks.</p>
<p>* Facilitation: When you choose to hire an event planner, you can actually enjoy your own party. You won’t need to worry about whether the food is prepared, whether the place is properly decorated, whether the band showed up or any other details. </p>
<p>After all, you’ll be paying the event planner to ensure everything’s running smoothly and effectively. Thus, you’ll be able to sit back and fully enjoy the party. You’ll feel like a guest at your own party, which is the best way to enjoy an event.</p>
<p>* Budget Friendly: The beauty of working with an event planner is these professionals can often get price breaks. Most often you give the planner your ideal budget and they create a beautiful event around what you can afford. The whole process can help you stay on budget and prevent you from overspending, which is common when you self-plan your own events.</p>
<p>Choosing to hire an event planner in Portland for your next event or party is a great way to reduce event stress and event spending. A planner can help you with every single detail of the event and keep you on budget. </p>
<p>They have professional contacts that can make your event turn into the best bash of the year, without any extra effort from you. They take care of everything and are even present during your event, allowing you to fully enjoy the party, mingle with guests, conduct important business and feel excited about hosting the party itself.</p>
