(#13) Goodie Bags For All
It's customary to put together goodie bags for kids to take home at the end of a party. But what about the grown-ups? It doesn't take much effort to put together a little goodie bag for them as well, and they will appreciate the gesture. You can easily pop some useful grown-up goodies from the Dollar Store in a bag, like Chapstick, hand sanitizer, and packs of gum.
Have more time and want to get creative? Send them home with a Mini Bloody Mary Kit so they can enjoy the rest of their Saturday while the kids nap post-party.

(#8) Break Out The Nintendo Switch
Having a Nintendo Switch set up somewhere at the party could keep kids and adults alike happy. When the younger ones head off to do something else, the adults could easily get in some more intense games of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Mario Kart, or maybe let the swears fly – quietly – by trying some custom Mario Maker 2 levels.

(#5) Give Them A Heads Up
When sending out your invitations, let people know what to expect. Everyone will have more fun if they are prepared! Sometimes parents aren't sure if they are supposed to stay for the party or just drop off the little ones and go. By making it clear on the invite that this is a party for both kids and adults, you can clear up any confusion. This way they can make plans to stay and enjoy all the fun!

(#9) Say Thank You
Don't forget to say thank you! If you're a parent and have ever attended another child from school's party, you know it can take a lot out of you to buy a gift, get your kids ready, and get across town to attend. But when you see the excitement on a child's face when all their school friends show up for their special day, you realize it is worth sacrificing your weekend plans. As a host, know that all the adults in attendance are taking time out of their own lives for your child, and be grateful. Being truly appreciative goes a long way!

(#1) Don't Forget Food For The Adults
At many children's parties, the adults are so concerned with getting the kids to stop and eat something that they forget about food for themselves. A spread of cheese pizza, potato chips, and cupcakes is great for kids, but it's not every adult's favorite lunch.
Set up a table with finger foods grown ups can enjoy - cheese, grapes, nuts, olives, and veggies are great options. The other parents will appreciate having something substantial to eat while their kids play. The adult snack table is also a natural way for parents to gather in one place and break the ice! Win win.

(#2) Make Introductions
It sounds obvious, but take the time to introduce your guests. It's common for a party host to be so wrapped up in making sure everything is running smoothly with the kids that they forget to make sure the parents are getting to know each other, too. You might assume everyone has met before, especially if it's a class party, but make introductions where you can. It sometimes takes a little nudge to get parents off their phones and interacting, but once people start chatting everyone has more fun!
