Extra
Tip: If you are planning to have a specific themed
cake, check your local bakeries for everything they will
need to make the cake. If they do not have the
cake decorating kit that you need, order that online as
well. If you are planning to create your own cake
see next step.
Test Run
of the birthday cake if you are baking yourself. I
suggest doing this with enough time away from the party
so that you know exactly how much time and supplies you
need to get the job done. You will also have a few
weeks in between to rest and eat the test cake. If
it turns out to be too much, you still have time for the
step above.
Purchase Party Outfit - If dressing up in princess
dress check for needed alterations.
Purchase
Birthday Gift. I suggest doing that this week
because the week of the party you will be
busy.

Supplies should have arrived. Double

days before party, NOT the day of.

Order
Cake - if you are not baking yourself.
Shop for
everything on menu if you are making it yourself.
I suggest doing this a few days before party, not the
day of. If you forgot something you will have a
few days to revisit the grocery store to pick it
up. Don't forget batteries for camera, extra
toilet tissue and candles.
If you
are creating your own party favors, finish them at least
3 days before party. Leave the next three days for
more immediate details like the cake, food and
decorating.
If you
are baking the cake yourself, bake the cake or layers at
least two days before the party and frost with
crumb layer of frosting. Cakes can be frozen to
keep them fresh. You can find more info in the
cake section of the
website. 1 Day Before Party
Assemble and decorate the cake if you are baking it
yourself.
Decorate
Party Location. If you are having the party
outside of your home, ask the party location providers
if this is possible.
If
preparing the food yourself, prep for the party
day. Ex. if you are preparing frozen chicken
fingers put the chicken fingers in an oven safe pan and
cover with aluminum foil. Party Day - just pop
right into the oven.
Pick up
cake today if at all possible.
Set Up
Party Games
Prepare
camera. Charge rechargeable batteries or replace old
batteries.
If you
are going to play music, place the cds near
the stereo.
Pick up Balloons if they do not deliver
Pick up

yesterday.
Begin
preparing food yourself or have food delivered
