So what if you don't have four weeks to plan your party? Your date has snuck up on you, we get busy, it happens to all of us.
1 - That means that you have to work faster and smarter to get your party thrown together by your party date.
2 - Think about a birthday party kit, where all the tableware is already packaged for you.
Or look at a brand that coordinates everything for you right out of the box, like MeriMeri.
You can also look at my Party Plan Cub where I've picked a theme, and then everything is chosen for you. And you just have to click those buttons to shop.
3 - Figure out what your party theme and the style is, and then make those decisions quickly.
4 - Minimize your DIY by paying for help. Anywhere you can cut corners, cut corners.
5 - You may not have enough time for custom things like really cute cookies. So you find a work-around. Maybe get sprinkles in your party colors and then you customize your brownie bites from the grocery store.
There's still plenty of ways to make your party really cute and really yours. But you just have to figure out how to do it in the time that you've allowed yourself.

🗝️ Adorable faux-topiary bunnies
🗝️ Mouse place card holders that would be perfect for a Cinderella party!
🗝️ Beautiful wooden bead garlands in a variety of colors
🗝️ Super-sized milk glass candy dish (at a great price!)

One of the thrills of my childhood was going to the library to check out a new Nancy Drew book.
And once my girls started reading Magic Tree House and American Girl Doll mysteries, I realized they were ready for Nancy Drew!
They immediately fell in love with the plucky heroine and, of course, my party planning wheels started turning.
I threw this Nancy Drew Mystery Birthday Party for their 8th birthday and it was a blast!

The fun thing about designing centerpieces for a children’s party is that because you’re designing for kids, the centerpiece can be just about anything.
But if you choose flowers, you can still create a fun little surprise by doubling up your vases.
Three ways to style a vase in a vase party centerpiece are now on the blog: https://thepartyteacher.com/2022/08/04/vase-in-vase-party-centerpiece/

Did I ever tell you about the time I almost lost a venue for my daughters' party because I forgot to pick up the key?
Oof.
I was renting our subdivision clubhouse and about 6 p.m. on a Friday -- the day before the party and after the office had closed for the week -- it hit me that I never picked up the clubhouse key from the property management office.
I swear my body temperature dropped a few degrees as the panic hit me. No venue, no party.
Thank goodness the president of the homeowners' association lives on our street and I was able to borrow a key from her. Life lesson #1: ALWAYS play Bunco with the president of the homeowners' association.
Life lesson #2: Put any party errand in your calendar. You'll think that OF COURSE you won't forget something so important. But when you're in the thick of last minute party prep -- TRUST ME -- you need all the reminders you can get.

How do you celebrate your child’s birthday if it falls in December?
If you celebrate Christmas you’re already so busy this month. The thought of taking on a child’s birthday party maybe a little bit more than you can even think about right now.
So I’m wondering: if your child’s birthday falls in December, do you pick a Christmas-related theme so that you can leverage the decorations you already have in your house?
Or do you just pick whatever other theme your child is interested in and not worry about Christmas versus birthday decor?
Or do you plan something outside of your house?
When my girls were little they had two friends with December birthdays and those moms tried a variety of approaches.
There was a roller skating party and a gymnastics party and a bouncy place party.
One year there was a party with Christmas crafts, and we still hang the ornament favors from that party on our tree each year. Santa even made a surprise appearance at the party.
Another year that mom bundled up all the kids and took them to a slumber party in a hotel with an indoor pool, which was so fun for the kids and exhausting for the mom.
There’s no wrong way to celebrate a December birthday. I’m just curious: if you’re a mom with a kid who has a December birthday, what works for you?
Or if you’re a party planner who has helped parents plan December birthdays parties, what do you recommend?
