If you're looking for a roomy and convenient place to hold your child's birthday party, consider renting a banquet room in your family's favorite restaurant. Not only are banquet rooms typically affordable, they're also easy to customize.
Holding a birthday party at a restaurant has several perks, including having an onsite chef prepare the meal and possibly even dessert. You may also be able to get a package deal that includes the event space, as well as the food and drinks, at a special rate.
When choosing the perfect restaurant banquet room for your youngster's birthday celebration, pick a place that has food that appeals to kids, such as pizza or tacos. If you need the event space during a busy time of year, such as during the summer or the winter holiday season, book the banquet room as soon in advance as possible.
The following are some additional tips and ideas for holding a kid's birthday party in a banquet room.
1. Decorate the Space
Prior to booking the restaurant banquet room, ask whether you're allowed to decorate the space or not. If you're able to, bring your own decorations to give the space a fun, festive touch and capture the attention of the young guests.
One easy way to decorate a banquet room is with vibrantly colored balloons. You can welcome party guests into the room with a colorful balloon arch in the doorway. Choose balloons in hues that reflect the overall color scheme or theme of the celebration. For instance, go with red, blue, and yellow balloons for a circus theme, or purple, pink, and gold or silver balloons for a princess-inspired bash.
You can also use balloons to decorate tables and walls with the help of a little tape. Attach the balloons to a wall in a rainbow or floral design, for example. You can also use letter-shaped balloons to spell out "happy birthday."
2. Create a Kid-Friendly Menu
Prior to the big day, meet with the restaurant's chef to create the perfect kid-friendly menu. Consider any food allergies or dietary restrictions the guests may have, and provide alternatives such as meat-free options for vegetarians.
Hand-held meals, such as pizza and sandwiches, are ideal for active kids who don't want to sit at a table for long. Set up build-your-own bars with a variety of ingredients, and allow kids to create their lunch or dinner. Some ideas include taco, burrito, pizza and sandwich bars.
